hello folks

only me.  gosh, its about a year since i last posted.  then it
was because the poetry parrot had called unexectedly, but now
its to say goodbye, as i am going to have to unsubscribe due
to chickmail shutting down.  i daresay i'll resubscribe from
another email address sometime soon, but in the meantime i can
be contacted on splishsplosh@lostinmusic.co.uk

so what have people been discussing?  b&s not being as good as
they used to be?  well, no.  obviously.  but that is the natural
order of things and as it should be.  if i had gone on loving
belle and sebastian as much as i did four years ago then how
could i have found room in my heart for all the other great
bands that have come along since?

what is all this about ribena?  and ribena being twee?  how is
ribena twee?  surely it is mass-produced, corporate and non-twee.
squeezing juice from fruit you yourself have picked in a field
filled with butterflies and bunnies, now that is twee.

writing a song about the go betweens is nice, but even better is
releasing an entire album which sounds exactly like them, which
is what indie types harper lee have just done.

what else has been happening?  free design released their first
record in thirty years or so, and it was pants. oh, and talking
of pants records, the kings of convenience took their rather good
songs to a big expensive recording studio, pressed the big grey
button labelled PANTS and hey presto, quiet is the new loud.
don't do it kids, go to www.kindercore.com and buy the pre-pants
version instead.

will be at the picnic on friday, with a BUCKET of BOOZE if the
weather is nice.

bye,
kevan
