Helloooo, Welcome to one of my infrequent posts (fear not, for I shall soon be returning to the shadows of lurkerdom). How good are the Go Betweens? Of course, this is a rhetorical question, since all and sundry know that the Go Betweens are, in fact, awesome. I can't believe some people say the 80s were poo, when you had the Go Betweens, Felt, the Smiths, the Roses (admittedly right at the end but it helps me win these 'the 80s weren't poo they were lovely' arguments that I sometimes have with myself) and even better, Dogtanion and the Three Muskahounds. Ooh, and the A-Team. Another thing (before I forget), did anyone happen to be at the Tompaulin/Trembling Blue Stars Borderline gig the other night?? They were both fantastic (just to rub salt into the wounds of those unlucky enough not to go - ha!!), and if the artist formerly known as Erica is reading this (or indeed is still on the list), please can you get in touch with me. Well, you don't have to, cos if you got my last e-mail then I'll just be repeating myself, but in case you didn't then I owe you for introducing me to the Field Mice and the Blue Stars and want to repay my debt of gratitude* I *promise* there'll be B&S content in a minute, honest Honey. Fairy wings are good aren't they? I think everyone should be forced to wear fairy wings by law (well, all girls, but I s'pose boys could as well if they wanted). But then maybe it wouldn't be quite as good . . . hmmmm. Nevermind. My B&S type point is this: who's the best character in Winnie the Pooh? Ha ha, I fooled you all. And the answer, of course, is Eeyore, that King of Sarcasm. Oh, great King, how I bow down to your might. The real point I was going to make about B&S was actually quite good, but I've forgotten it now (too busy thinking about the Tigger Movie) so I'll retreat hastily back into the shadows before our beloved List Mummy takes away my sweets (well, shouts at me anyway. I'm sure Honey wouldn't still candy from anyone, maybe not even babies). Byeeeee, Ian. *Look how much of a dodgy perv I manage to sound without actually meaning it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
