Dear Sinister Kids, Naw aw! Na hah. Ok. Sleater-Kinney is opening up for the DC show. DUUUUUDE! I can't say how happy I am that Sleater-Kinney are playing too. I just found this out. To begin with, "The Hot Rock" has been on repeat in my house for the past week. And another thing. I've only managed to see them once. That was in Glasgow in 2000 at the 13th Note Club with a friend and her boyfriend. And also with apparently every alterna-teen in the entire west of Scotland. Ok. Definitely not all, but give it up for hyperbole. Were you there? Why doncha give a holler over here and tell us your memory of that show. Janet Weiss is a one woman drumming army. Like Mike Watt's one man bass army. But better cos she's nothing but collected whilst her flying limbs of judo create ROCK. Jeebus, the two of them together could topple empires. Ok. Not really, but they're all good. Ok. I've seen Quasi too but that doesn't count cos that's just Janet Weiss. Ah, but it's also Sam Coombes. Makin a lovely racket. Well I'm off to dye my friend Andrea's hair and then get drunk. Rock On, Vilkas (who is enjoying a mixtape involving The Corrs, Kylie and Craig David*) *just making sure I don't perpetrate too much of a hipster fraud with my Rock tangent. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
