	Mark Sinker<blockquote>Mayo Thompson, Crayola co-ordinator, is a man ruled by notions. Flourish a theory, he'll operate within its strictures for you. He's the man who read what Pere Ubu meant, joined them, acted on it...and ruined the greatest rock band ever ever ever (ever): tonight he appears to want to examine the parameters of 'Unforgettable', the grim screen resurrection of the one-hit wonders to play, forever, their one hit (which they hate far more than you do, believe it). So he's had a bass player flown in from Germany (my spy in the toilet tells me), and he's added him to a thin Cilla-cut singer and a drummer who can play white reggae, and pursues his notion through song after song after song. My companion, back from the toilet but wishing he wasn't, wonders why this grotesque spectacle, of tired-to-death pop cliche and twitchy inverted commas quirkiness is attracting the scattered applause it is. "Perhaps," I suggest, "they know something we don't." Knowing Thompson is a man for a notion, hoping we're just misreading it. "No," says he. "We know something that they don't. We know this is CRAP."</blockquote>		Mark Sinker<blockquote>[...] Mayo Thompson, Crayola co-ordinator, is a man ruled by notions. Flourish a theory, he'll operate within its strictures for you.
