Hello.
Hello. I'm new to this list and have decided that because my first message is such a special occasion, I'll make it the first Sinister message with an "Re: Re:" in the title. At least, it'll be the first since I've been reading it, and that's what counts isn't it?
I too saw the V-Twin video. I knew I hadn't stumbled on the Fetish Channel free preview because that's what I'd just turned over from. It was a good video, and I am told Stuart Murdoch was behind the camera, or at least barking things through a loo roll somewhere. It had one of the Maisonettes in it too.
Stuart Murdoch makes films for the fetish channel?? I've suspected it for a while actually, ever since they started showing those footwank features filmed in that church hall. "Judy and the Dream of Horses" was just going too far though - put me right off my dinner. Am I allowed to say footwank? I suspect that I probably am.
I do however have boundless admiration for V-Twin principles. They could have gone along with the crowd and hired someone with magnetic stage presence to front the band, but instead they got someone with no discernable charisma at all. He looks he ought to be on telly playing snooker or something. I expect he writes the songs though, so they can't really kick him out.
I have two copies of the V-Twin single to give away. They will go to the two people who write the best answer to the following question: 'In what way are V-Twin any good?'. Twenty words or less. Depending on just how
Even though Gifted was a top notch ace song, I started to wonder whether V-Twin were actually any cop when I saw them at the Bowlie, and the latest single would have confirmed my suspicions that they were A Bit Crap, had I bothered listening to it. Unfortunately I haven't, so I'll have to take your word for it. The singer did have a Scott Walker t-shirt on though, which reminds me : forget the Beach Boys and the Beatles. The Walker Brothers were tons better; well at least if you forget all that crap stuff they did. Land of 1000 Dances? Pile of bloody arse more like. persuasive the
best response is, I may have to keep the second one.
How about "The singer had a Scott Walker t-shirt on at the Bowlie". Will that do? You can keep the record, mind. I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I've found a way to get really long messages, like most of you lot write and NOT ACTUALLY WRITE MUCH. This is achieved via the exciting new technique of QUOTING people. It is a technique that I strongly encourage because it promotes CONVERSATION. And that can only be a good thing, can't it? Unless you've got nothing to say. Oh dear. Anyway, hello to fountainhead and Arantxa. Yes I am following you. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
