not pointing any fingers here....

Yet another hilarious exchange of cleverly written emails. God bless Lizzie Lamb....

 

Painting the scene - it is 1994, Liz and I are all of 13 years old. We believe we are destined to be famous rockstars, we feel the anxst and pain/suffering that all real musicians do (usually relating to less than perfect maths results hehe), we identify, we're playing with big guitars in the Lambs' poolhouse. We are emulating (attempting to) the Pixies and Ramones...I am crap and getting nowhere, Liz is clearly outblitzing me on both bass and guitar, she sees my frustration, calls in the big guns. Liz lends me her gold nugget live recording (a tape of course) of 'the pixies' for some inspiration...

 

Liz: "Mehreen, this is the only copy I have of this live recording which was done in the USA (as the pixies have never toured oz before) so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't lose it...."

Mehreen: (nodding head excitedly, thinking to myself "THIS is the inspirational break I have been waiting for my whole life...a Pixies mix tape with a side serving of Green Day on the flipside") "Yep, for sure, I'll make a copy and give it back to you next week."

Liz: "Cool..."

Mehreen: "Cool...."

 

Alas, that was the last either of us ever saw of the pixies live recording and I have carried the burdening guilt ever since. Occasionally in times of sheer drunkenness we will reminisce over the poor mix tape but recently thanks to triple j i thought i can finally lay my guilty conscience to rest. as i said earlier, god bless Lizzie Lamb :) see emails below:
