.. Honey's back and moaning already :) General request to focus a little bit here so that we preserve what was a great first two weeks of 1999 on the list. Thinking before you post if everyone wants to hear what you're typing in, and if it's not taking a prolonged thread of conversation too far - just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean you have to. At the risk of repeating repeating myself again all over again, for the newcomers: a. Please finely hone your posts to vital stuff that you've thought over and condensed for hours before sending, or is incredibly funny, b. If you're posting more than two mails a day something is probably wrong - please wait and respond to all the mails you want to respond to in one exquisite, creative and witty mail, c. Please go off and use the tasty "Search" on the WWW page below if you're new and want information on something, e.g. Nick Drake - there's staggering amounts of Drakisms already in the archive. Everyone will appreciate it if you look before you mail :) d. Ho ho read the list rules. This is non-negotiable and action will be taken if they're obviously being ignored. None of this is meant to point fingers at anyone, and you do know I love you all don't you? I just don't want the number of posts to get so massive per day again that no-one can keep up and everyone starts reading 1% of the list and running round in circles with their very tasty underwear round their ankles. Finally, someone mentioned that Spanish band on Stuart David's Treehouse site. They're called Migala and what I've heard sounds great, so I'd recommend you all pop along. Stuart asked me to mention it and I forgot in my Christmas slumber, and also, go and see the animation online called "Block" by Edinburgh's own Duncan Nichol. It's great and will give you nightmares. Finally, Mrs Murdoch will be making Stuart his tea live next week on the same site, so I'm told, sit tight for announcements soon.

So, Honey,it's my first and only message today, you won't be too angry with me even if it's a bit redundant,but migala ( I believe they wanted not to be written with capitals,but I am not sure)are from my home city,Madrid, and it is not very common any Bellie and Sebbie member knows and praises some band from there! So,everybody,let's listen to 'Asi duele un verano' and 'Diciembre 3AM',their second and first album,respectively.OK?It's just what Stuart David wants you to do and I am sure you all are starting to feel mesmerised by his words... Ye-ye : it comes from yeah-yeah , and it was widely used in Spain in the 60's,but the word could arrive there from France,as it was applied to singers like Sylvie Vartan ,France Gall and so on. Philippe,where are you to help me with this philological stuff?In a more general sense,it was any youngster around 1965 with Beatles / Mod haircut, (too long for traditional tastes),interested in 'light',pop music.If it was a girl,the hair could be sort of Twiggy style or maybe some complicated and cropped bun.And the dress was this sort of mini-skirted ,pencil -shaped thing with no sleeves... Sorry for this fashion history digression.My next email will be entirely devoted to B&S or won't be,Miss Honey, I promise!
