Yesterday I went to the pictures and it was a film and it was Godzilla but I wasn't frightened. Or anything else for that matter. My advice for listees would be to wait until it comes on the telly, and then watch the other side. Keith suggested Manchester as a sootable meeting place, because it is in the middle. In that case, the Azores would be more appropriate, if a little impracticle. As a compromise solootion, I vote for Preston. We all know that nothing ever happens there, so I think it's up to us to MAKE IT HAPPEN! And why stop at organising a disco? We could have live bands too! The Manics could split up and then reform especially to play it, and there could be lots of Welsh groops too, inclooding The Alarm and the Sooper Fluffy Animals. Don't worry, if you book the bands, they will come. Sarah's grandmother could introdooce the bands and give a quick clip round the ear to anyone whoo's not nice, and the whole thing could be called FLUFFYSTOCK! And Uncle Joe's Mint Balls could keep us all aglow. The postman just brought me Endless Harmony by the Beach Boys. I haven't listened to it yet, but I just know it's fucking great. I finally got round to reading Duke's Cock Fun and UNKLE pieces, and great fun they were too, although I must confess to a preference for Duke in full-on ranting mode, such as his piece about Manda Rin's evil fanzine empire. Unfortunately my internet connection was cut off half way through reading it, so I'l have to go back and find out what happens. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I think I'll order a copy of Duke's book, "Young and Foolish" for a bit of bedtime reading. I suggest you all do the same. Unless you already have. Speaking of bedtime reading, I've been reading a book by a Cuban fellow called Guillermo Cabrera Infante. It transpires that he's the brains behind all that "soul hero in his soulmobile" and "blue, blue meanies" dialogue that appears on "Kowalski" by Primal Scream. What's more, his Siamese cat (very clever, by the way) was the grandson of George Harrison's Siamese cat. The book is called "O", it's quite nice, you'd like it. I think that's everything.
