Sinister: Trembling Blue Fairy Wings

[Ian Hatcher]

Helloooo,

Welcome to one of my infrequent posts (fear not, for I 
shall soon be returning to the shadows of lurkerdom).

How good are the Go Betweens?  Of course, this is a 
rhetorical question, since all and sundry know that the Go 
Betweens are, in fact, awesome.  I can't believe some 
people say the 80s were poo, when you had the Go Betweens, 
Felt, the Smiths, the Roses (admittedly right at the end 
but it helps me win these 'the 80s weren't poo they were 
lovely' arguments that I sometimes have with myself) and 
even better, Dogtanion and the Three Muskahounds.  Ooh, and 
the A-Team.

Another thing (before I forget), did anyone happen to be at 
the Tompaulin/Trembling Blue Stars Borderline gig the other 
night??  They were both fantastic (just to rub salt into 
the wounds of those unlucky enough not to go - ha!!), and 
if the artist formerly known as Erica is reading this (or 
indeed is still on the list), please can you get in touch 
with me.  Well, you don't have to, cos if you got my last 
e-mail then I'll just be repeating myself, but in case you 
didn't then I owe you for introducing me to the Field Mice 
and the Blue Stars and want to repay my debt of gratitude*

I *promise* there'll be B&S content in a minute, honest 
Honey.

Fairy wings are good aren't they?  I think everyone should 
be forced to wear fairy wings by law (well, all girls, but 
I s'pose boys could as well if they wanted).  But then 
maybe it wouldn't be quite as good . . . hmmmm.  Nevermind.

My B&S type point is this: who's the best character in 
Winnie the Pooh?  Ha ha, I fooled you all.  And the answer, 
of course, is Eeyore, that King of Sarcasm.  Oh, great 
King, how I bow down to your might.

The real point I was going to make about B&S was actually 
quite good, but I've forgotten it now (too busy thinking 
about the Tigger Movie) so I'll retreat hastily back into 
the shadows before our beloved List Mummy takes away my 
sweets (well, shouts at me anyway.  I'm sure Honey wouldn't 
still candy from anyone, maybe not even babies).

Byeeeee,
Ian.

*Look how much of a dodgy perv I manage to sound without 
actually meaning it.
