   About Strange Fits of Passion
Strange Fits of Passion Have I Known: Nelson was feeling a little lost. He formed a band and felt an awful lot better. He can thank Ian for this. Kasia and her magic carpet were soon taking them to strange and wonderful places. Bert plays basslines like only a lead guitarist can. Marvellously. Rich is compulsive. If you are tap-worthy or strum-able, then strummed or tapped thou shalt be.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!

We've all had a strange fit of passion or two. Embrace them as they are, venerate them as they were; for common-sense is unimaginative and repressive, whereas impulse cuts a swathe in your memory and soul. Just mind the pointy edges.

Hello,

for some reason, we can't read or send messages on MySpace at moment but gather from your page you are able to do this Friday. Unfortunately we've had to cancel the acoustic session this week due to other acts pulling out but would really love it if you could play on 13th April. If not another time? Sorry to mess you about....

C'mon Weird Shakes of Love or whatever you call yourselves, waiting to hear either:

a) some music of yours
b) a town cryer announcing your intention to gig in Bedford or London, or somewhere within easy train distance for my convenience
c) the All-Male Welsh Choirs Heavenly Baritones
or d) all of the above.

Thanks for your co-operation in this matter.

And yes, I know your real name, was only joking about that part. Odd Starts of Libido.
