The first two albums were generally referred to as Tigermilk and Sinister, which seem quite reasonable. The next two were abbreviated as twattybus and fishyclap, neither of which my spellchecker recognises as words. I don't know of any other dubious abbreviations till we get to the most recent album, occasionally called gippywand. Can anyone help with the ones I have missed?

Hi all, but especially Honey,
At the footer of the latest Digest, we have => End of Sinister Digest, Vol 2, Issue 1
But in the previous (or close enough) Digest, from "some days ago", we had => End of sinister-digest V4 #1445
So, how come we change from V4 to Vol 2?
Anyway... so glad to hear that the lis tis still alive, and one last thing: PLEASE don't move to facebook!
And now a lame attempt to bring some activity to the list:
1 - Would you all please send your opinions on what would be your B&S all time bestof? But with "some constraints" (so the thing gets balanced through ALL the discography), like so: - the elegible records are the 8 studio albums (i.e. no EPs, singles, or soundtracks) - you must pick (at least) 1 track from each record - you must come up with a total of 11 tracks OR 46 minutes total running time (yes, the average number of tracks and running time of said 8 studio albums)
2- Well, the same as 1, but for the "worst of".
Last but not least: can anyone please remind me of all the álbum acronyms? (such as fishyclap, etc) - did all the "later" albums receive this treatment?
