hello Sinister! I sent you a mail last week but I think it disappeared into the ether, so you never got to read me talking about how I had been in London and met some subscribers to this list, or that I was going to be attending a concert featuring the fab Estel, WARLORDS OF PEZ, and The Chalets (with some Cork band) yesterday. As it happened, this concert turned out to be completely G*R*A*T*E, and not just because it coincided with a meetup of the DUBLIN SINISTER POSSE (all three of us, only two of whom live in Dublin). What made it actually toptastic was the music - Estel really throwing down a credible claim for the crown of Dublin's best band, The Chalets causing me to renounce my flirtations with Chalets apostasy by further rockifying their sound and unveiling a load of new songs that made this gig not just like every other ones of theirs I've been to, and the band from Cork (Stanley Super 800) being an amiable bunch of dueling-banjos meets hard rock merchants. The best thing was probably the WARLORDS OF PEZ. These invaders from another dimension performed a rock opera about how Baby John Candy had been left home alone for Christmas and ended up being kidnapped and cruelly used by Phallotron and the Evil Transformers. There was something for all the family in this heartwarming tale. I also met someone from Australia who thought I was a character from Viz comic. Moving along I must apologise to all the people waiting for Christmas presents from me. They will be in the post before Christmas, I promise. later!
