mornin' As mentioned by listees less tardy than myself, Blue Soda last Friday was on top form, with Mr. Leonard's performance being bold and heartfelt. Tim and Mike's encore nearly brought a tear to the eye as well, and not in a pain kind of way. Jeep(st)ers, Creepers - the sinister brethern are a extremely gifted lot. I interviewed Jake and Dan from My Life Story last Saturday which was good, although I had to sign an agreement that I would not publish or tell anyone anything about it until April 21st. Apparantly they're worried about the NME getting hold of news of the internet. I can see their point, but really this is My Life Story...I think they'll be lucky if the NME print anything non-derogatory about them...ever. I will say that they are signed to IT records, a lable funded by Andrew Lloyd Webber after being dropped by Paralophone whom they owed bout 500,000 pounds to, and they have changed direction a bit...(these aren't new facts, but they were clarified during the interview). At the Blue Soda a few of us had the idea for T-Shirts or badges (or whatever) for the sinister devotees going to Camber sands, as something to identify each other by, as well as a keepsake. I have no idea on how to go about doing these, and am not sure if I want to be the one doing the organising (I'm working on Papercuts#2, you realise) but how about these slogans for starters: P!O!P! Sinister Sands/Sinister at the Sands I've been to Bowlie too* Sun, Sex, Sand and Sinister Just another modern rock badge Sinister: Steps Tragedy Up yours Waterman!
