hello, when did you start doing _that_ to your hair? so i will hopefully only talk about 3 things now. ok. but none of them are belle and sebastian. so 'watch "the fuck" out' ok? Magda mentioned getting hit on by one of the fieldmice. i have some questions: how did this fieldmouse go about hitting on you. were you in a bar and did he sidle up and buy you a drink and casually let slip with 'i was in a band once, the fieldmice, yeah...' or was it more 'hey you! why won't you sleep with me? is because i was in the fieldmice?'. i only get hit on by these old men. something about me doesn't even seem to turn on younger men, let alone girls, just old guys. i guess they figure i'm lonely. bastards. but my friends get hit on all the time. my friend amy got hit on by steve leckie, who was in arguably the first canadian band to pick up on punk rock back in the day. they were called the viletones and that they were into punk very early on (but not at all innovative or good or anything) is their claim to fame. so he started coming on to amy by saying 'i'm steve leckie from the viletones' which, when combined with his nearly 50 year old heroin addict appearance was already completely repulsive to her. so when he could see that he was already on the losing side he desperately began naming the people he 'knew'. things like 'no wait, i know vivian westwood...' sure mac. my friend joanie did way better. she got hit on by noted designer karim rashid. they started chatting at the restaurant that she worked at and then he walked her home, and then he invited himself in, then he snorted coke in her washroom and then he kept breathing down her neck and being creepy so she shoved him out the door. i mean, at least karim rashid is pretty cool. Flin Flon was mentioned. hurrah. robyn fadden mentioned the 50's. wich is stupendous. because not only is robyn 'the bomb shit' but is also 'dope' and 'hardcore' like le tigre only not lesbians. so yeah. the 50's were the REAL best pop music before the 80's when fine young cannibals and martha and the muffins appeared. i include anything before the beatles broke in the states as being essentially 50's. and yeah, gene vincent, carl perkins, etc. the innocence, the simplicity, the tight harmony, the repressd dry humpy hornyness of it all, the 3 minute time limit. the 50's is what i love so much about jonathan richman. i love jonathan richman and wish he was my dad. my dad is distant and i don't know what he does for a living at all. even though i lived with him for 18 years. also, yes, le tigre rock. they make me feel very new york. which is really what living in toronto is all about isn't it. s t e v e n ! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
