so there i am, heading for the bar to get me beer and this bloke stops me and says, 'hey, nice shirt'. i was wearing my orangey bus one, and this chap said he had meant to order one off the Internet, but hadn't. I said i got mine at Union Chapel and he said 'hey you're so cool'. Well okay he didn't, he just nodded and asked if i had the new record. Well, i ask you... he's not on the list by any chance is he? are you? dahn the cavern it was, saturday night. there was a dreadful band who were doing covers of things like Walking On Sunshine, very baddly. The guitarist was wanking it and some card at the back kept shouting 'fucking YES'. i don't imagine for a minute he was being complimentary, although my chum Rupert would argue that such a comparison should indeed be held in high regard. Where on earth was i? oh yes, chap asked if the new record was any good and i said no it's pish. there was talk of obtaining copies of Tigermilk and i said i'd meet him in the toilets later but he didn't show. there was no discussion of CDR, however. later i talk with loverly kate who is fab and her boyfriend who i used to teach, and who made me say 'shut up and sit doon', even though i never said that in my life, honest. he likes B&S and looks like someone from Marilyn Mansun, so it just goes to show, doesn't it kids? never trust a hippie. In other news: the nice mr Mitchell suggested that everyone have a nice look through the archives. I suggest that people take this wonderful advice, especially if they want to know about set lists and songs in french. Sheesh. i only posted the info about twice. Is Stuart M, the loveable little tyke who apologises for a living and who makes tea for the Workers (Fischer Z, anyone? i could tell you a story about that one... come sit on my lap little one) leaving coded messages in his missives to the list? --UPIMSRGSMTP11MS4+y7l5RcXySm7IwCV8bahMpC-- Anyone want to have a go at cracking the code? i cannae be arsed. Miller said something but i forget what. Something about Isaac Hayes and some impenetrable rubbish in a faux scottish accent that sounded geordie to me. Hey PJ, i was looking at an old fanzine the other night and it mentions 'Slow Dazzle'. Do you remember this one? it came from greenock... I think a camping sinister soul weekender in Machester in the middle of winter sounds like an ace idea. But without the camping and without the soul. Well okay, a bit of soul... can i bring my Teena Marie records? keep the faith, the duke PS it's nice to know you all fancy me. -- 'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses' Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
