Last bus is at 00:00. True fact: If you arrive at the bus station at midnight and the bus is too full to take you and you have a return ticket, the bus company will arrange a Taxi for you! Which is rather lovely of them. I have done the Barrowlands -> Queen Street run far too many times in my life. Worst one was after seeing The Charlatans in '95. About 10 minutes until the last train, but we just *HAVE* to stop so that my partnerincrime at the time could buy a HUGE poster of pouty Tim. > C|K>N Shouldn't that be C|N>K?

List crushes - we demand an update! Whoever it was that dreamt about going naked to a B&S gig should be worried that this may be some sort of hypnotic suggestion planted in their subconscious mind by a certain listee who is best left unnamed. Lets just say that it would be the sort of person who wears out video tapes by watching them frame by frame, jiggle by jiggle. Thanks for the Salako info, CDZone exceeded even my expectations by listing Reinventing Punctuation against the WRONG BAND. I noticed on the gig list Starwhatever sent out with the tickets that the day before B&S are in London there is a Who convention. Is this a coincidence? I am beginning to suspect otherwise. I know that there were discussions on what to do after the London gig, which ended with Katrina attempting to organise something at Trash on Oxford Street, but have we decided where (or if) we will meet before the gig starts?

Sinister: One day he'll wake with wings........
by Chris Leonard 04 Aug '98

04 Aug '98

My good friends, I feel renewed and quite splendid after having a lovely evening out with the famous miss Julia. We attended King Tuts Wah Wah Hut to hear some drunk Canadian called Ron Sexsmith sing. Imagine our surprise to climb those shaky stairs to nearly be knocked back down by a huge and powerful (yet gentle and subtle) lady voice - can you guess who it was? It was Monica Queen of course, and that John bloke who plays acoustic guitar. She was fantastic. I was awestruck and I think I love her. Don't tell Julia that. Her band, well, her and the acoustic guitar are called "Stars into paradise" or something, but my god for those of you who cannae stand her bit in LLPJ, you should have heard this. Fantastic. Then Ron came on and my my he was great. What a lovely lovely voice and lovely songs and a charming young fellow an that. He played for ages as well, even though all his songs are dead short. He played all the songs off his albums, apart from the shite ones and some new ones which sound fantastic. I was nearly crying at the end, it was so good. Hold on, no I wasn't I'm a man and I like rugby an that. It was just a bit dusty in there, that's all. The mysterious and beautiful Charlotte breathed >I'd like to nominate someone to produce next week's and I nominate, er, >Chris Leonard as he is ineffably cute (I know, I've met him) and has >produce the most exciting competition to come out of Glasgow since, >since, since his last competition. Oh, stop it. You made me blush. Can I keep you? I'm happy to do a Monday poem, but this coming Monday I'll be sweating in the hot showers of lovely Singapore. I'm not much of a reader, as you may have gathered from my shaky use of englisch, but I have invested in a novel for my Journey. It is "And the Ass saw the Angel" by Mr Nick Cave. I read the first page last night, and crumbs, it looks a bit hard. I think it may help if I imagine Nick Cave reading it to me. So anyway, since I can't do a Monday poem here's one for today. First some background on the Author: Hugh MacDiarmid 1892-1978 This was the pen-name used by Christopher Murray Grieve. He was born in Langholm and educated at Langholm Academy before becoming a pupil-teacher at Broughton school in Edinburgh. He then became a journalist. During the 1914-1918 war he was in the Royal Army Medical Corps. A controversial figure, as many of the most interesting artists are, he pioneered what many regarded as a Scottish literary renaissance in the 20th century. He held strong political opinions which, as they ebbed and flowed, coloured his writings, but central to his work was his intention to create (in his opinion re-create) the Scottish literary language. This involved using a vocabulary from all regions of Scotland and all historical periods which to some seemed forced and artificial, but to others was legitimate given the lyric use to which MacDiarmid put the words. His political views have irritated the simplistic from time to time since he held ideas which seemed to categorize him as a 'Communist', though his communist ideas were very much his own. He did stand as a Communist candidate in an election in 1963 but he had also been a founder member of the 'Scottish National Party'. In the early 1920's he was publishing his own poetry amongst collections of contemporary verse which he was employed to edit. In Scotland his most famous work is probably 'A Drunk Man Looks At The Thistle' (1926) which deals comprehensively with the condition of Scotland and the Scots. This no doubt explains its continuing poularity here. 'Facing The Chair' by Hugh MacDiarmid Here under the rays of the sun Where everything grows so vividly In the human mind and in the heart, Love, life, and all else so beautifully, I think again of men as innocent as I am Pent in a cold unjust walk between steel bars, Their trousers slit for the electrodes And their hair cut for the cap Because of the unconcern of men and women, Respectable and respected and professedly Christian, Idle-busy among the flowers of their gardens here Under the gay-tipped rays of the sun. And I am suddenly completely bereft Of la grande amitié des choses créés, The unity of life which can only be forged by love Oh, and Susannah said >Right, now all I have to do is work out my list crushes, enter Chris Leonards >daft quiz...... It's not daft, and anyway I'm suspicious if your eligible for a prize, re Rule number 4. Joking???..

For me, i think about it, but I think Dog On Wheels has > been in my rotation bin....about 4 months...long enough. I've been obsessing over Dog On Wheels lately, too. It's funny, because when i bought all three EPs at the same time, and at first i was madly in love with 3..6..9 and didn't really like the other two at all - and now i still love 3..6..9, but Dog On Wheels is all i want to listen to...i like LLPJ too, but it still hasn't hit me the way the other two have. I think Dog On Wheels has been in my stereo almost without interruption for the past three weeks or so, with no sign of letting up. Every time it says, "He wants to love and he wants to care, but when the girls hear that they think he's so square," my heart just rips in half...i think i'm in love with Sebastian, just from the little things i hear about him in these songs. That bit about "You're always looking for a sign, but boy you blow it every time"... If i can't have a list crush (since this is something like my second post to the list ever, that isn't looking too promising), maybe i can just have a crush on a ficticious song character, right?

Sinister: Expired List Crushes?/Fruit Looper

Madame Genevieve ecrit... > all the good stuff is all old now..list crushes (so i can't > even say mine :( Are the list crushes expired, like old milk? It's not fair! Someone just told me they were going to give me a vote for a crush! I finally got one and it better not be closed or...well that'd just be *awful* Got the Looper single today, too. Nice single, that. Interesting side-project material. It did remind me a lot of "the 'Strap" but in a unique sort of way. Idunno, I quite liked all the drum machine bits. Not cheap-sounding at all compared to the image I have in my head when I think of "cheap-sounding drum machine." Also got the new Blueboy, but this ain't the Blueboy list, and what's more, I haven't had time to listen to it yet (No! Please don't hit! I'll be good from now on in, I swear!). So with that, I think it's time for some wrastlin with my inbox. I'll wrangle it yet, just you see... /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick(a)indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords(a)indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Since I bought Dog on Wheels and 3...6...9...on Monday, June 15, they have not left my CD changer. I dont even think abt taking them out, they're just there and always will be. I think if I took them out I would be scared that theyd get scratched up somehow. Interestingly, as I began typing this up, my ABBA CD ended and "Dog on Wheels" began...how fitting.
