From what I could gather from the lyrics, both Lanegan and Johnson are in considerable emotional pain. I'm not bloody surprised, if I was their bird, I'd bugger off as well. The bass player used to be in Soundgarden, so I spent most of
Mixed feelings this morning. On the one hand we have the welcome return of FlappySeb and his FunkyFlares, but on the other hand we have the sad news that Isobel is poorly. Hopefully it's nothing that a few plates of bangers and mash won't put right, but at any rate I think Philadelphia listees should go to the hospital and hold a sinister candlelit vigil. Whoops, I meant Sinister candlelit vigil! Silly me! As for the cancelled performance, I daresay one or more memebrs of the band had to accompany Isobel to the hospital, because otherwise it would be scarey for her. I'm just speculating, of course, but the thought may help grumpy people feel a little less grumpy. Mark Lanegan is a boring bastard. The only thing I can say in his favour is that he looks a bit like Spudgun from "Bottom", only without the charisma. Mike Johnson treated us to some acoustic numbers. He did 4, 27, 6 and an epic 4756. That was a little joke to try and make it seem interesting. the evening estimating the size of his bank balance. It was that good. Claire, I've done your tape. It is mercifully free of Mark Lanegan, but I suspect it won't beat the Divine Experience after all. Nevertheless, there was a picture of Norman Cook manning the wheels of steel in the paper yesterday, and he does indeed look almost exactly the same as Mr Symington! I'll stick it on the cover of your tape, Claire. I need your address though. Right then, I'll had away and shite, Peter PS: Warrander John, don't worry about saying "poofter", we say it all the time, it's more or less obligatory round here. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
