Did anyone see Belle & Sebastian's mention on Teletext yesterday (I was bored, can you tell?). Having announced all the nominees for the Kerrang "music" awards they rather amusingly pointed out that there were "surprisingly no nominations for Belle & Sebastian". Where would we be without irony and wit?
Har har... Speaking of awards and being nominated: It's not some snob thing for me, but here are other bands that have been ignored by music awards: Velvet Underground The Smiths.... ....that is, until recently when it got a life time achievement something or other...... Most awards the great bands get are the life time "oops we screwed up and didn't acknowledge you" things. Bands and acts that have been acknowledged: Hootie and the Blowfish Paula Abdul Milli Vanilli

On a totally different note, as we have established that we are all willing members of a cult, what are we going to do when the apocalyptic influx of new listees is upon us from September 7th onwards? Is there going to be some kind of means test for entry, or bizarre and possibly illegal initiation ritual?
The ones who join after October aren't "true" fans since they didn't buy the album right away, and therefore we won't be kind to those people and use Vasoline. s.s. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
