I meant to write this a few months ago but better late than never I guess. 'Sick Bookies' was devised by a friend and I whilst at art school and was originally going to involve us setting up our own alternative bookmakers dealing in the darker side of gambling, particularly pop music related. We never did it as it turns out there are loads of fuck-off legal things you have to do before taking the publics hard earned money over something along the lines of '5/1 odds for whether Paul McCartney make 64 or not?' (He made it, easy). Also we were too skint to pay up anyhow, but the name Sick Bookies kind of stuck though and I have adopted it as a front for various art/music related encounters ever since...
Anyhow my old mate Chris (Craft) Clarke has recently adopted the name for his own home-made, lo-fi Pavement-esque musings. He has made a lovely album of bedroom recordings which he is far too modest to promote himself. Also the first track sounds rather like 'Showgirl' by the Auteurs so what are you waiting for? Anyhow you can buy the album for a mere £1.50 ... right ...
