being a long-time resident of Merrie Olde "Anglia" and having recently
been to the West of the U.S. on a couple of exploratory Field Trips, I am in
a position to report that the difference would appear to spring largely from
local environmental and dietary factors. My soon to be published research
will reveal that during the crucial formative years the consumption of
Marmite Soldiers, Heinz Baked Beans and Dairylea Cheese, washed down
with Lashings of Dandelion and Burdock -- and, at a later stage, what we
Social Anthropologists term "Getting Well Out Of It On Carling Black Label"
-- are causally implicated in the development of that part of the
neurophysiological make-up that generates the Anglo-oriented musical
impulse. Trips to the Outside Toilet and late-evening stop-offs (after a trip
to Blackpool) in the Austin Maestro at the Happy Eater for Welsh Rarebit
are also seen as potential pre-determinants.
In an ongoing complementary contrastive study, the influence of regular
ingestion of Peanut Butter, Juan's refried Beans, and Monterey Jack
Cheese, accompanied by Diet Coke -- and later "Getting Kinda Mellow on
Oregon Raspberry Wheat Beer" -- in En-suite jacuzzis and stopping off in
the Ford Taurus for Burrito-Whopper-Taco-Burgers washed down with Oreo
Cookie Shakes in El Pollo Loco after a jaunt to DisneyWorld are being
investigated to gauge the extent of their influence on musico-Americana.

PS. Late Obvious Idm Content: can anyone remind me of the title of the
new Sun Electric disc which was getting rave notices a while back here and
on the Ambient-list?...
