Sinister: Yeah, this is the good stuff...

[Lucy Alder]

When I found out certain types north of the border have been calling me Miss Asbestos Liver, a
shiver went down my spine.  How on earth will I be able to uphold such a reputation when I arrive
in Glasgow in little over two weeks time?  I mean, they're Scots.  They drink.  Lots.  Except
Jason 'Mark 'n' Lard' Andreas, but he's the exception that proves the rule.  Lordy lordy, I
thought to myself, I'd better get in training.  What I need is a twelve-hour drinking session and
lo!  My diary told me it would be Scalarama on Saturday and thus the perfect opportunity was
provided.

Having mentioned Scots, it would probably be wise to gloss over the part of the afternoon that
involved Germans, a muddy pitch and Kevin Keegan.  I should have concentrated harder on Tompaulin.
 Baxendale were D!I!S!C!O! and P!O!P! and T!O!P! D!E!C!K!  They weren't on for long enough though.
 The rest of the time I think I probably danced but, um, I'm not sure.  There were lots of
messages on my phone the next day that I couldn't remember getting.  I do remember that it was
Erica's birthday - she's now a Legal Girl - and she was wearing a very pretty dress.  HB, Erica.

Those of us that were the True Fans went on to see V-Twin at Blow Up!  Mark C was full of good
intentions, but lasted all of half an hour and went home before the band came on - pah!  Father
and daughter Moore, Chris Brown, Sophie (and friend) and myself were all down the front and DM has
given a better description than I ever could because, well, memory doesn't serve.  The realisation
suddenly dawns that I'm writing a fairly lengthy post about something I can't remember much of. 
Plough on, plough on...  I can remember thinking it was a good thing the singer's mic wasn't
switched on.  He looked like he was wailing a bit.  His hat was nice though, a bit like the ones
that I've seen lots of Jewish people wearing round Stoke Newington for Yom Kippur.  Big and brown
and furry.  I hardly recognised Stevie, the old scruff.  I don't know what's happened to his sharp
suits, but a baggy old pair of bell-bottoms is a bit of a let-down.  Smarten up, boy!  As
previously mentioned, Isobel looked simply divine.  I was well-behaved and didn't stalk any of
them, unlike some people.

So, in the end I made it through from 2.30pm to 2.30am, ruined my red mary janes and  gave myself
a bit of a headache but I didn't fall on my arse, which is something I suppose.  Chris Brown
deserves much acclaim for being the only other ROCK person to match my drinking and dancing for
the full twelve hours.  Glaswegians, are you ready for me?

In other news...

Colleen deserves props for saying

> FARGING

as does John Maxwell, for dreaming about dancing daisies.  Dancing daisies!

David Moore (who I've mentioned enough already in this post, but what the heck) said

cover versions (?) of Like A Rolling
> Stone & I'm Waiting For The Man by soul singers trying to sound like Mick
> Jagger.

which I thought was strange because on a tree of inspiration, I'd have Mick a bit lower down than
your soul singers - wasn't he a wannabe R&B boy?

Andrew 'Capital H' CHurchman said

Would you please tie Mirah to a chair and tickle her with a feather duster until she agrees to
come over and sing something sweetly in London?  Ta.

Paul Arathoon mentioned Orlando.  They weren't a complete pile of toss, Paul.  They did one
fantastic, tremedous, amazing, wonderful pop song.  The rest was toss though.

And finally, I think Mark should invite Pauline Shivers to get up on the stage at the next
Tigermilking.  I'm sure she'd give a floorshaking performance.  According to this website, she
sounds expensive, but she's really quite cheap, hehe.  http://my.genie.co.uk/mommas/audio.htm
