WHAT'S A GRECIAN URN WORTH? Surely Exeter City's new DUKE STAND is a tribute not only to the Duke himself, but also a tribute to the combative stance he takes on issues such as Manda Rin's refusal to do swaps, as well as a sideways nod to the Dexy's Midnight Runners classic DANCE STANCE. I SEE A SITAR AND I WANT TO PAINT IT BLACK I like sitars. It is a beautiful instrument with a centuries long tradition of making beautiful sounds. I'm particularly keen on that BWOOOOOOOING BWOOOOOOOOOOOING BWOOOOOOING sound, like the first rays of the new rising sun, but I'm also partial to that DIDIDIDIDIDIDIBRRRING sound, acheived by consummate mastery of fretboard wankery techniques. Someone, possibly Nick Nolte in his book AWOPBOPALOOBOPAWOPBAMBOO, called it curry powder when used by The Beatles. I like tablas too. I look forward to hearing the B&S sitar experience. I've got a Miles Davis live album with a sitar on it, but I'm buggered if I can hear it. YOU SPECKY PUFF! "What," thought Alice, "would be the point of inventing a world that already existed?" I agree that Murdochland exists only in the imagination of Britain's finest folk-inflected singer-songwriter, the bard of barminess, Stuart Murdoch himself, but I fail to see the problem with that. Just imagine if we all took Daz from Hefner's attitude. There'd be no "Planet of the Apes" for a start. TODAY'S SERIOUS POINT Nice to see the Harvey Wallbangers making an appearance at the Po Caff. Perhaps the Stutz Bearcats can be coaxed out of retirement as support? Nice one Trousers. PROPS I've looked it up, but it's not even in NEW WORDS. Propellerheads is though. Hands up if you're a propellerhead. On second thoughts, take a step forward instead. AGENT DOUBLE-O FAT SLUG I've got tapes for Fat Slug and David Moore. Now comes the difficult part. lots of love, Sister Disco +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
