Sinister: Ken Chu kick it? Yes you can.

[Sam Walton]

...okay, fair enough. Crap subject line. But in the words of the mighty 
Super Furry Animals, "Happiness Is A Worn Pun".


Hello all.

It’s been a while since my last offering. I haven’t really done anything 
much in that time, which probably explains my absence. I think I might have 
enough Content to post now. So here come some random ramblings…


I was listening to “1977” by Ash the other day, after Amy commented about 
seeing them at T In The Park. However, I can no longer listen to the sixth 
track without hearing the following lyrics:


>>Ken Chu you do what you do to me
>>I haven’t been the same since my teenage lobotomy
>>etc etc etc


Perhaps I’m just developing an unhealthy obsession with the man himself. 
Maybe. Answers on an e-card to the usual address.


I love it when people say “um…well I’ve run out of things to say now, so 
I’ll shut up”, and then spend a paragraph detailing exactly how they’re 
going to go about the act of shutting up. I’m not being sarcastic either, I 
really love it. It makes me SMILE.


A while back (in my last post actually), I wondered whether B&S were any 
good any more etc, and after much self-debate I’ve come to the conclusion 
that actually they’re still fab. I wasn’t feeling too good recently and so 
Tigermilk came out and I played it quite loudly and waited for the music to 
ooze and wash around me and seep into every pore in my body. And it did, and 
it made me feel better for the 40-odd minutes whilst it was playing, so 
thank the Lord. Miraculous Technique is also truly gorgeous, so I’ve been 
going through something of a B&S renaissance recently. Thank you David White 
for putting all of the Black Session on your site. I now have it in its 
entirety, and it, too, is marvellous.


Anybody else madly in love with Pulp? I am, and am now the proud owner of a 
promotional white label twelve inch thingy of their new song, “Sunrise”, 
which is A Very Good Song Indeed. I love Pulp.As I said in a previous post, 
the new Beta Band LP is fanTAStic. Hopefully the new SFA will be equally 
blinding.


Does it strike anybody else as slightly odd that B&S have a badge and a 
t-shirt that says “BSPD” on it? Presumably this stands for “Belle & 
Sebastian Police Department”, but it don’t understand the link between the, 
ahem, pigs, and the loveable “indie” scamps whom we all love.


I’d understand if fans of Dr Dre sported a badge of “NWAPD” on their 
cardigans. Because that would make sense. Irony.


About 2 months ago, Eric The Half A Bee decided to change his name from 
“Eric” to “Eric The Half A Bee”, so that he was more memorable on the list 
when people met him at picnics. I think this is a Good Idea, so I’m gonna 
rip off Rachel Playforth, and simply swap the first two letters of my name.


So, hugs to all,

Asm.x
