Brief, I promise. Firstly my thanks to El Duke for a fine words of Stuart's book which makes me feel that it wasn't necessarily just me on happy pills thinking it was quite good. If *you* won a copy, please let us all know. Secondly my apologies to Robert who stands in for everyone on the digest who received it too late to enter the competition. I am sorry! I forget how this thing works. By way of pathetic apology there's some sort of related competition doodah at: https://www.waterstones.com/blog/in-the-all-night-cafe-stuart-david and a link to a playlist of songs that Stuart M gave Stuart D one day (pre-B&S) on a cassette when he was ill. Here's that playlist. The last song still never fails to makes me glow attractively. Salad Days - Young Marble Giants Veils of Colour - The Blue Aeroplanes Hours of Darkness Have Changed My Mind - Felt Ballad of The Times - Everything But The Girl Almost Prayed - The Weather Prophets Oomingmak - Cocteau Twins Sorry For Laughing - Josef K Brighter - The Railway Children Outdoor Miner - Wire Afterglow - The Servants High Expectation - Stereolab Savage Sea - The Pop Group Streets of Your Town - The Go Betweens City Sickness - Tindersticks Honey +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
