Sinister: i'd rather jacques

[Miss Cressida Jane Darwin]

glastonbury, then. 

it was nice to meet sinister people. they were ALL lovely. 
yes, every last one. and of course i greatly admired 
lixi's inflatable grasshopper with its words of wisdom and 
ian's rumour-mongering skills. apparently, burt bacharach 
cancelled because he lost both his legs in a freak accident 
and he now can't bear to sing such classics as "music to 
watch girls by" without breaking into sobs because "well, i 
can't do anything else now, can i?" poor old burt and his 
libido.

it sounds like i had a similar weekend to heather, as my 
partners in crime on this trip were all herbal medicine 
students and hippies or soul girls, bless them, and rather 
long periods were spent at the jazz stage. sometimes this 
was good, as in (possibly the best band of the 
weekend) Ladysmith Black Mambazo (really). 
however, sometimes this was bad, for example by the time 
i met up with sinister people on friday, all i had seen 
were two contemporary dance troupes and david lynden hall. 
hmm....

badly drawn boy and elliott smith were also very fine. but 
i could hardly hear a word of david bowie as i think i was 
surrounded by the eastbourne division of his fan club. 
"he's still got it, hasn't he. ooh, he looks lovely!" oh, 
and indeed dear. *and* they were vicious elbow dancers. oof!

still, the jazz stage has given me a renewed interest in 
all my stevie wonder records and fabulous they are indeed. 
"jamiroquai" should bury himself alive for shame.

ahhh, beginning to wander, so i'll just let those of you 
that don't know, that jacques (aka jack) is playing borders 
(london) gratis on friday evening. oh, yes they may charge 
ridiculous amounts for their cd's and not even bother with 
vinyl , but just now and then they put on someone of 
interest. let's just hope he's not doing another spoken 
word in welsh. *shudder*

cress
xox

ps WHERE is bonobo?
pps does anyone know anything about hobotalk apart from 
the fact that they're supporting the magnetic fields in 
july?
