Sinister: Frazier Chorus, among other things

[Hester, Mark (ELS)]

I think I may have been asble to post to the list for ages without realising
it....the nursery door was swinging on its squeaky hinges for days, bright
sunlight streaming in from outside, yet somehow I failed to notice.

Here in Oxford, the weather continues to do weird things, it was giant
hailstones a moment ago.  On Saturday night I went to see Hefner, supported
by Murray the Hump.  The venue (the Point) was really really crowded so that
Hefner's singer Darren called out "Who booked this place then?  surely there
are larger venues in Oxford?" to which somebody shouted back "Yes, my
house!"

B&S played here once, just after LLPJ came out, the queue was huge and I
didn't get in.  It was one of the biggets disappointments of my life.

Well done the Angel for mentioning Frazier Chorus.  It's hard to imagine
them doing a cover of 'Anarchy in the UK' though (or is this a joke?).  They
sounded so fey (but not twee) most of the time as I recall.  The songs I
remember are quite magical, such as Dream Kitchen and Nothing.  I wish I
actually owned those two albums, 'Sue' and 'Ray' but I suspect they've made
the sorry step from bargain bin to Deletion by now.  I did actually buy
'Ray' from Boots (hardly the nation's premier record retailer) but when I
got it home I found that it played BACKWARDS and I did not particularly want
to feel like I was participating in that particular part of 'Cheggers Plays
Pop' so I took the cassette back to the shop.  Unfortunately they didn't
have another copy in stock so I had to settle for the cash as there was
nothing else there I fancied (no-one else either, for that matter).

Here comes the rather functional sig. file, so you can all guess what an
Assistant Local Applications Manager does, should you want to.
