Wellity wellity wellity. Isn't it grate to see the list all active again just as ms mcneill was leaving. is there a connection i hear you all ask? the long answer yes with an if and the short answer is no with a but. I am not of the ancients or elders of this list. although i did join in '99 when brit pop was still at it's dizzying heights and the strokes were still finishing elementary school. Actully that new strokes song is great. i sat through 2 whole hours of gonzo ( which is strange in itself) to see it. i am a bit confused though. the song ended suddenly and switched into something else. is this the song or poor editing on MTV's part. i hope it is the latter. so first of all i suppose i should explain myself. i am back and i hope it is ok. there nuff said. second of all i had the dogs bollox of a summer and it came to an end. with a bang. spent it in barcelona which was nice and sunny and so so so cheap. ( a round of beers for four people in a bar in the gothic area cost ?8 compared to a round of similar beers here costing ?16) i was never so glad to be a wage slave in ireland as it meant i could live like royalty (without the inbreeding) for a month and still come back with money with which to wipe my arse. our landlord screwed us out of our deposit however and now i again have to be a wage slave to pay itoff. in other news i started uni yesterday. looking around the lecture theatre there were people in tracksuits and foxy celtic hair pasted down with gel. i have expected to be egged for wearing a bag that wasn't jansport. then there was also the arty types that i expected to see including one particularly good looking girl that had huge earphones and a mad long dr whoesque scarf. out of the 1000 freshers the dean said yesterday that 45% of us will probably drop out. i hope not. i like the lower half of my body. i suppose i could adjust to walking around on my hands but i don't think i should have to. in music news i must say the new b+s stuff has me a bit excited. piazza new york catcher is perhaps the best thing that they have produced in a long long long time. i can;'t wait to hold the grubby album in my pristine hands. i have been listening a lot to beth gibbons. if you don't have it buy it, everyone else is so why shouldn't you. Yann Tiersen plays Cork next month which i am very very very excited about. right i am off to tie my scarf properly and practice my affectations Ta Ta J...o...n...a...t...h...a...n +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
