Nick Dasboot said: Interestingly, the word 'lambast' has only ever been used once on Sinister. As has 'castigate'. 'Slate' has been used seven times Every time I read a Nick Dastoor post, I smile warmly at the wit and loveability of the boy, and then he adds *something* that makes me wonder what the hell he does with himself all day? Female masturbation, I reckon. (and lambaste is spelt with an "e", which'll be why :)) As Nicholas has probably already posted, oor wee Isobel was declared an Alternative Fashion Icon (with piccie) in the Guardian this morning, for wearing 60s slip dresses and headscarves. So were Blur, though (not the headscarves bit). Cast, interestingly, weren't. So, Ebola. Nice to see we're in the middle of Europe's first outbreak - there's something satisfyingly sinister (small "s" about the phrase "patient zero" and, having watched Dustin Hoffman's quality film "Outbreak" only a few weeks ago, I feel happy in the knowledge that blind terror and panic are the best ways to overcome the fearsome viral threat. My insides ain't turning to mush, no sirree... Why no talk of Helen Love and Atari Teenage Riot? I signed for a mortgage yesterday. I am now well and truly out of the sphere of reference used in B&S songs - should I like them less? My arse... It must be two whole days since I last mentioned Tigermilking, Upstairs at the Garage, Friday 13th August (wear a B&S something for cheap(er) entrance). But I can again now, as we've (gasp) got a band! And, even better, they are the Sinister List's very own PICTUREBOX, and they sound fantastic. A combination of top pop live extravaganza and H!I!T!S! from Freedesign to Stereolab, Serge to Madonna, The Italian Job to The Acid House, Bomb the Bass to the Fieldmice, and huge great creamy helpings of Fashion Icon combo Belle and Sebastian, not to mention freebies galore, how can you say no...
