Sinister: Tall Enough To Reach The Ground

[Sarah Clarke]

Hello you lot, 

prog rock? You say Pink Floyd, well I say Yes. Yes! Yes! Rick Wakeman could
kick all your collective arses, including Pink BLUDEH Floyds. He's so cool. I
have a YES! postcard lurking about in my room somewhere. It was drawn by a
bored Oxfordshire teenager. It used to be on my wall, then I moved! So now it
has to be on ......wait for it......Another Brick In The Wall! Ahahahhahahaha
oh dear not even I saw something that bad coming. I've talked to Stephin
Merritt about prog rock you know. Well, maybe made one comment, then ran away
going "oh my god I really am an arse". But at least my love for YES! has made a
worthy impression on my life. Well it certainly hasn't made me grow a big beard
yet.

I read a book on Rick Wakeman too. He's fucking great! He's a lad, he likes
curries - whats wrong with knowing something about the theoretical side of
music and putting it on ice skates, eh? I bet those Sexy Pistols were dead
jealous, I bet they were all like, to the 100 Club going "ere guv'nr, we're Ye
Olde Sexy Pistols and we wanna do our POONK RAWK on ice thangyewverymuch". And
Mr Promotor went "Feck orf" - as all known cockneys are said to have spoken in
the "seventies". And Johnny Rotten went "grooo you're so MEAN!", and ripped up
his nice new tshirt.

Which is how POOK RAWK started. See, even the three chord antithesis of prog
rock was indeed caused by prog itself. I don't care about Pink Floyd by the
way, but YES! are great. I bet Rick Wakeman would get his round in, down the
pub.

So, a Barcelona meet up? Can I come? I'll bring my own fresh veg. Oh, and I'm
not going to speak any Spanish, and I'll really annoy everyone by singing
"Barcelona", by Queen. ALL THE TIME! I like the Pop band, Barcelona me. But I
don't know why. They support DC United for petes sake. Does anyone support DC
United on this list? If so, no offence but you're thick. I support METROSTARS,
cos I'm great.

Well, I know Where Syd Barrett Lives. And Harvey from Hawkwind. 

Can we have a TV Personalities thread now, please?

Oops. Best go to work.

PS: If anyone knows of a mail order place in the Uk which will sell me the
KittyCraft record straight away, do let me know. Ordering from abroad is such a
fag, innit?

PPS: I forget to namecheck people so they'd reply to what I said in a chummy
manner. Whoops.
