whoo-hoo, first off is to say, i didnt' know my last post would be so interminably long. i only had a couple of things to say. it looks like i was trying to write crime and punishment. jeez. the dashing Weejay spouted off this bit of inspired insight: can someone please explain to me the attraction of boys... all that hair and sweat and dangly bits. yuk. .........my thoughts exactly. ************************************************** Now it came to pass, that Stuart Murdoch looked down upon His creation, and was greatly displeased. the tribes of his sacred land were worshipping false gods such as Noel Gallagher, and Boyzone, and no longer honoring the Sabbath he had set for Felt records. He searched far and wide among them, and found the one honorable prophet Honey. He instructed Honey to build an Sinister List of 150 cubits wide, and 400 cubits long, and to gather Hipsters and Tweeslackers of every kind, two by two into the Sinister List, for a great deluge of Britpop woulld cover the earth. It lasted for 40 days and nights. After the 40 days, Stuart Murdoch did spake unto Honey, and instruct him to send out a Dog on wheels. when the Dog on wheels returned not, Stuart Murdoch did instruct unto Honey, Send an honorable Dose of Thrush, and seek dry land on which to settle and procreate. the Dose of Thrush did return, and lead the Sinister List to Dundee, and the deluge did wipe away all the shoegazers, and all the hooligans, and all the gallaghers of the great land, and the Sinister List did builld a Poetry Cafe as to Stuart murdochs' instructions. And great Bus Routes did traverse the land and spread the seed of the List far and wide. And Honey spake unto his children, Be Smutty and propagate, and so did they, and Honey saw that it was good smut. and Irish Troubadours did sing the praises of Keith, and of Tag, and FluffySarah, and Stuart Murdoch looked down upon His Creation, and WAS pleased. but it came to pass, that unrest grew among the Sinister List. Philistines set up dens of theivery, and the Tigermilk Covenant did change hands against Stuart Murdoch's decree. Brad and Robbie did bring forth an unholy alliance of Sodomites, and babes were suckled that knew NOT of Nick Drake, and the Field Mice. the Philistine sects did honor false idols and set up Temples to Isobel Campbell. Stuart Murdoch was greatly displeased, and spake unto Honey, "Can you not bring order unto this Sinister List? I am greatly displeased" and STuart Murdoch did rain down upon the Sinister LIst with unholy wrath, and bring a plague of bitterness upon their hearts, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. and Keith did flee, and Madame Cholet and David and Katrina did flee, and even HOney did flee the Sinister LIst, and a darkness fell upon the land, and no longer did Felt records flow like manna from uncluttered minds. and the Sinister LIst wandered the earth for 40 days and 40 nights in blindness, praying for guidance from above, but yea, even Stuart Murdoch had failed to hear their cries. Until a weary traveler Did open his eyes, and witness a great man approaching on a chariot of light. He was ringed with glorious robes, and his legs WERE bare, and he came bearing Sha-la-la records and massive amounts of knowledge. The blind could see, and cried out, for it WAS the Duke, his coming having been foretold. the babes of the Sinister list did wail in pity, and cry out, We thought The Duke had forsaken us. But Yea, did he return,a nd grant them blessings of many many P!O!O! records, and Stuart Murdoch did smile upon the Duke's return, and smote the Philistines and the false prophets with a wall of fire and banished them from teh Sinister List. and Keith did return, and he saw that it was good. and Even Honey did return, and he looked upon the Sinister List, and it WAS good. and he bestowed a gold star upon his prodigal babes, and peace did reign over the Sinister List, and Stuart Murdoch did bless His creation, and continue to grant them heavenly songs from above. ******************************************* with apologies, lesleyJo http://www.members.tripod.com/rebelstrange No bachelor has ever experienced such desolate loneliness as does the spinster; for the bachelor is a man, and the older spinster but a male-like woman. --Dr. Joseph Tanenbaum, _The Riddle of Woman_, 1936 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
