3. Where did the rest of the footer go?
and also said, quoting a "Brad":
If that doesn't tell you what kind of jelly-filled danishes gravitate towards Belle & Sebastian's music, nothing will...
The answer to the first is that Bowlie's over - and therefore any gangwanking whimsy-thon possibilities are over, surely. Well that's what the NME were referring too, but if someone knows of such a whimsy-thon taking part which I haven't been invited to please let me know, I'm very keen on that sort of thing. The second quote above of course has given me something new to put in the footer: I'm always thrilled when someone sums us all up so succinctly and all the quotes in the footers are exactly that, from various different sources. It's like looking in a mirror isnt it? Oh and welcome to everyone who's just joined this list "From Another Place" :) Take a seat, have a nice cup of tea, be happy here. Can I say that I'm a bit baffled by a thread on the list at the moment, the one where people are saying "how could you accuse B&S of selling out and begrudge them their success?". This seems to be a reaction to someone somewhere on this list claiming the band or record company have sold out by either (a) doing merchandising and/or (b) stopping doing merchandising. Problem is I've searched and can't see the original post that supposedly DID claim someone somewhere was selling out. So I don't know what all these mails are reacting to. I know we expect someone somewhere around us to be elitist, but this list bar a few visitors from Mars has always been blessedly free of such stuff, and we've had these discussions a load of times before. Finally someone asked where the Poetry Parrot had got to - very good point. For everyone who landed on Planet Sinister since the poetry parrot took flight never to be seen again, every Monday someone used to send a poem in, and then set the parrot free from his/her window in the direction of the next victim, who did the same the following Monday. It went missing clearly traumatised soon after having to deliver a particularly foul-mouthed note from a Ms Lulu Kerr - she was a head girl, you know. Anyway it was Mr Stevie Trouser's parrot, so I hereby beseech him to get another and send it on. If that proves impossible or tedious, maybe he could look down the pet shop for Polly's evil cousin the Porno Parrot, who will deliver erotic literature from each listee in turn to really start our week off with a bang. I'd better go because I've sounded just a bit grumpy and tired haven't I? Next week is "Everyone On Sinister Phone In Sick Week" so we'll stay in bed and eat jam sandwiches all day together ok? honey x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
