A few observations on the new LP. I can't believe that no-one has noticed that the recorder solo on 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' is a dead ringer for part of the banjo line in Flatt and Scruggs' "Salty Dog Blues", only slowed down.
.. and other such frenzied pantsless ironies. Well I say, P!O!O! to all your Felt, Nick Drake and Peters & Lee references, why hasn't anyone mentioned Stevie's quote on Chickfactor from "Derek and Clive Live", viz., "what's the worst job you've had?". The answer was something to do with lobsters up your Wembley (which, incidentally, still remains a mystery). Anyhow, naked as he is, Tim makes a good point which I will repeat for newcomers: don't ever feel that just because you're new you should keep quiet, any talk of "real" fans will be laughed out of the shop here, but if you have any burning questions about the band, they'll probably have been answered before on this list - could you toddle along to: http://www.majordomo.net/sinister/cgi-bin/sinister-search.cgi and search the archives first please? That way we can keep busy discussing Schopenhauer and knitting and other more on-topic stuff. Oh and you're very welcome, and deeply loved, and if you get *really* stuck with the list, mail me, but only after you've read through the WWW pages please as I'm a busy bee. And please remember, this list is yours, is run on spare time and limited resources, and is completely independent of the band and the record company, so you can say what you like as long as you don't get all grumpy. Just be nice :) honey xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
