Evenin' all. Just thought I'd exceed our One a Day Limit in order to put Wee Bobbie's mind at rest. I wasn't offended by your Baader Meinhof comment, I just wanted to show off a bit. I do know a bit about the Baader Meinhoffers, but not much, and it's all very hazy. But it was definitely shit scary. Not so much due to what they did, but because of the apparent ease with which certain people can go from ranting and raving to "direct action". To try and explain in terms that we can all understand: imagine if the Duke suddenly decided he'd had enough of spouting sprouts about pop and got involved in some "direct action" - such as forming a group, probably with his teddy bears. It would be terrible, wouldn't it? I bet he'd do that Kevin Rowland "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" thing and have foppish hair. And yet it's such an easy move to make. Or so it would seem. I have read books about terrorism though. When I asked if they had any in Burton library they sent me to the taoism section. How we laughed, the librarian and I. If I buy "Ghetto Superstar" by Pras out of the Fugees, will you all laugh at me and call me names? Are Mercury Rev post-rock? I've been waiting for that Gene Clark compilation for ages, but now it's out I'm just not in the mood. I've just been listening to Red Snapper in concert on the radio. I've seen them, you know. I like the trumpet player. Fluffy! I got your tape. The postman left it on the stairs, due to the fact that "Sister Disco" is not written on the postbox. My lovely wife has now rumbled one of my nom-de-nets. She was pretty impressed when I played her the song of the same name by the 70s WHO. I haven't listened to the tape yet, due to the pressure of work, but I'm suitably impressed by the extensive sleeve notes and the tape cover made from a Preston bus timetable. Thank you very much. I have a feeling my life is never going to be the same again. The circus is in town! I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it! I went for a walk around the site this afternoon, it smells of exotic animal poo! It was a bit like the closing scenes of Tod Browning's "Freaks", only without the rain. And that was just the people putting the big top up! I dread to think what delights the show holds in store. I wove circwuses! Are the Lo-Fidelity All Stars shit? It's certainly a shit name. They're supposed to be treading the boards here on Thursday, and I'm wondering whether it's worth sacrificing my weekly attempt to sit through an entire episode of the X Files for. Actually, I managed it last week, but I didn't know what the fuck was going on. Brad, the Dukester is currently claiming to be unsubscribed. That's why we make fun of him so much. You'll have to go by the official channels: tangents@lineone.net that address is taken from THE book, so it must be right. Someone was wondering how the Duke signs his book. Mine says "to Peter, keep the faith, with love, Alistair x". Stop smirking at the back, it's true.
