Sinister: walk like an egyptian

[Stevie Troussé]

Hello boys and girls

Someone who clearly hasn't been listening to The Duke's advice on not
referring to records before they are released is "Holy" Greil Marcus, who
has taken time out from going on and on about Sleater Kinney to refer to the
new B&S recording thusly:

"9) Belle and Sebastian, "Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant"
(Matador)
Myself, I'd prefer they walked like an Egyptian -- at least they couldn't
maintain their coy folk melodies, their arch pre-Raphaelite narratives, if
they had to do it at right angles."

What a card, eh? Come round here with that kind of talk and we'll détourn
your bleeding situationist jacksie you old codger.

Talking of old codgers, Nick Dastoor seems to be feeling his age all of a
sudden doesn't he? "I feel queasy around people who are into loads of
current bands". That seems to be the current musical policy at the Guardian
doesn't it Nick? You and Tom Cox both waiting for the skiffle revival...

In other news: Martin R mentioned activity at the Poetry Cafe this Friday.
And yes indeed, Rabbit in Red, The Pines, a Boy called Thor and John
Stammers will be entertaining the ineffectual metrosexuals in Covent Garden
from 8pm in a papercuts-sponsored event. Email me for more details here:

That's it
