ANdrew CHurchman,
whose penchant for differentiated type puts him up there with the Velocity 
Filles of this world, enthused

>>>Also picked up Chickfactor #13.  I don't know if
anyone mentioned this, but there's a great interview
with Stevie in it.

Oh, god, yes. It's great. I know it by heart, but I'm glad that someone on 
sinister has finally mentioned it. The whole thing about the eloquent cat is 
vintage. The "Sinatra at Poughkeepsie" phrase is immortal. At least so far. 
(Oh! I can't believe 6 months have passed. They haven't?) The bit where he 
talks about his bandmates is very accurate and telling, I think, but rather 
understated and underdeveloped. And you can tell from the way it ends that 
this is a fellow who will probably stay in London all his life.

The only thing that disappointed me about cf13 was the silly interview with 
the guitarist out of Belle & Sebastian. 'Get In The Car', my axe. I'm going 
to repeat that a couple of times, it's so absurd on its own that it needs no 
feeble comedy annotation.

'Get In The Car'.

'Get In The Car'.



Phew.


PEter MIller
maintained his position as the BootBoyofSole, I mean, Soul, today. I love 
his implausible silly confrontational style. Long may it rain in Spain, or 
something. How does the geezer Miller talk about **US**, as he claims, when 
he has never met us? Which of **US** do he and his pals discuss? ALL of us? 
It's a good thing they have long lunch hours down in his par for the course, 
I mean, part of the whirl.

Folk seem to agree that the (to my mind, outstanding) melody at the start of 
the chorus of the geezer Merritt's 'Give Me Back My Dreams' sounds just like 
something else. But what? Someone put me out of my mystery. (You can take my 
heart, it was always Glenn's.)
