Sinister: Blitzkrieg Bop

[Peter Miller]

German? Pah! We British are very good at making up words too. Take
"SPITFIRE" for example. Magnificent, isn't it? How could it possibly lose?
Our German friends, however, chose to call their aeroplanes "MESSERSCHMITT"
which means "Mister Smith". I rest my case.

I went to the Baxendale soundcheck the other day. Strange but true. I went
with the intention of being a mental groupie and asking them if they knew my
friends Stephen Trousers and Erica. But I chickened out. But the shadow of
Trousers loomed large over proceedings, as they did a song that appeared to
be about having a nice time on a bus. They had obviously been inspired by
Trousers' sleeve notes to the legendary "C188" CD from the equally legendary
Papercuts. They dance like they've got hinges instead of hips.
