Before the remaining seven people unsubscribe, I've had a fantastic idea!
Are we all familiar with The Rough Guide to Rock? If so you will have noticed the tragic lack of an entry for Belle and Sebastian. Perhaps we could have another competition, or maybe a collaborative effort, to come up with a potted history of the band and a bit of advice for newcomers to the band.
Bastard! I was about to do it and start my career in journalism to get away from all this computing lark. Oh well, now it's in the open, I am sure Rough Guide would accept a well-written entry. I will no longer sneak around and pretend I'm not doing it: second line of defence is this: that we take up Pete's idea, and produce a collaborative potted history together, with contributions from all who want, if this is possible, and, uniquely for the Rough Guide, make the author "The Sinister List". I bet they'd like that, we'd get free advertising (URL!) and maybe a tiny squidge of funding to do stuff like list badges or something (and I think it is tiny)? To further inhibit my chance at muso stardom, here's the place for those who don't know: http://www.roughguides.com/RG_WWW/rgmusic.html What does anyone else think? I hereby volunteer myself to accept first stabs at a history, amalgamate them, stick them on the WWW page, and then submit it back to you lot to sort out truth from myth (although a little myth helps sometimes too).
