Hi -- Hoping to buy someone's L or XL tour shirt. Am after 'Edith Sitwell' or 'Harvey Keitel' (from Kill Uncle tour) and/or 'Charles Richardson' or 'skinhead girls' (Your Arsenal tour). Thanks in advance.

Re: southpaw grammar sleeve notes (part 2) That was a fascinating read, particularly the bits about the Lads. Good to see them get their due. Brian Eno as SG producer? Interesting prospect...

sorry... a little O/T, but I had to respond to your statement about Vini. Did you check out Stephen Street's website? It puts a dent in Vini's argument.

1991. I came aboard just in time to catch the 1st ever US solo show. My timing also allowed me to witness the unfolding of my favorite Morrissey era ('92-'94).

HA! Well played.

Re: Let's all calm down, and be honest..... Excellent point re: YOR's quality. Kill Uncle, a misfire of an album, came sandwiched between two great releases in Bona Drag and Your Arsenal. I'm willing to forgive occasional gaffs if there's some brilliance to balance them out. I find...

Re: Bernard Butler Adoration Thread "Cocoon". You've got taste! And, yes, "Theme From..." is mega. I'll avoid "Stop". Like anyone, Bernard sometimes misfires. But when he's on... damn!

HA! I was, uh -- lucky enough to meet Bernard when Suede played at the aptly named Backdoor (old venue at SDSU) in 1993. He signed my ticket stub with a withering look and returned to his beer and girlfriend. Nice guy or not, the incident never dented my admiration for his work. BTW...

Bernard Butler Adoration Thread Spent some time on YouTube looking up clips of ol'Bernie. I don't care what anyone says or thinks, in my heart of heart I know that muthafugga can PLAY! His performance of "Stay" on Jools? It's FIERCE!. Same with the acoustic "My Dark Star" on MTV. If I...

I realize this is a long-shot, but can anyone lead me to a Your Arsenal tour shirt? Esp. interested in a skinhead girls or Charles Richardson shirt. If you've got one in decent condition, I'm willing to part with a bit of cash. Thanks.
