Two messages in one day. Perhaps I'll get thrown off the list...

Ah yes. Yoko's most recent albums, entitled "Rising" and "Rising
Remixes" featured Wee Sean's group IMA, which must stand for
something. I thought about buying them at the time, but thankfully I
didn't bother in the end. The remix one has got a twenty or thirty
minute thing tagged on the end. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, Lee
"Scratch" Perry had a habit of recording his sons shouting, singing
and gurgling on his records, but he's not their mum. I've got one by
Jumior Byles called "Thanks We Get". It is a joyful noise. That mad
woman from Throwing Muses used to put her baby's gurgling on records
too. Montserrat Caballé sings and sometimes records with her daughter
quite a lot. Wait a minute...can you have "sometimes" and "quite a
lot" in the same sentence? To be quite honest, I don't know how often
they jam together. Folk mum Norma Waterson was on the radio this
afternoon doing "River Man" by Nick Drake. She turns it into a
pleasant drone-a-thon, sung by a right crabby old bat. Quite good.

As for fitting in with other people, I suggest you all follow
astro-philosopher Jimi Hendrix's advice and go fly your freak flag
high.
