["Keith Astbury" Subject: [idealcopy] Newsnight appearance explained.... Mark E Smith was on the cover of yesterdays Guide, the entertainment section of the Guardian, scratching his nose. In the interview inside, he explained his appearance on TV the night Peel died. "The thing about that was I had the bloke out of the fucking Undertones in one ear and some BBC control room fella in the other, and another asking me questions. I couldn't even hear myself, that's why I probably appeared mad. I didn't understand what the fuck was going on." And here's my fave bit... "But my mum liked it. She said 'He's always very self-assured, even when he's on TV.' " Classic!! There was also an article about Joy Division and a very short piece re Julian Cope's forthcoming tour. So...tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1979 ; ) Keith. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 04:20:45 -0500 From: PaulRabjohn@aol.com Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Newsnight appearance explained.... in what is clearly a MES media blitz (to support fridays BBC4 fall documentary , 22.00 , sorry again alistair) he was also in the observer at greater length. a very funny interview with sean o'hagan. clearly the bbc publicity department can get every string pulled that they want to.......p ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V8 #15 ******************************
