Hello Sinister
Yippee! A new album, new (and occasionally old) songs
for the list to pick apart and provide thoughtful
criticism on (or just complain that they sounded
better live). More importantly, there's a new album
title to pun. It should be one most punnable titles
ever but the best I can come up with right now is
'Beer Atrocity, Legless'. Ho hum.
Marianna said: "I can barely contain my excitement at
the prospect of hearing the third best opening line in
a song ever ('Ro-bert, your nipples are pert')"
Being a muse is grate and probably a lot better than
being Muse as it doesn't involve singing in _that_
voice and murdering perfectly good Nina Simone songs.
Ken, Liz & myself were discussing the Manboobs song in
the pub the other night. I recalled the endless
sessions that dragged the song into being: Hours in a
smoke-filled studio, various discarded chord
sequences, early drafts of the lyrics screwed up on
the floor, too much to drink, not enough sleep,
arguments, hair pulling, cries of "Sprinkle some
fuckin' fairy dust on the bastard!" and "No! Play
_that_ fuckin' note!". It was all worth it though.
Ken's reputation as the finest pop songwriter of his
generation was sealed. Even though nobody wrote down
the final version.
Of course the other great RBD moment from the
Bitchtits Sessions - A Woman Needs a Fish (Like a Man
Needs a Bicycle) - survives and ought to be played
during every RBD encore. Forever.
Looks like I'll be seeing some of yous in Glasgow on
the 15th as well. Hooray!
Robster
