Dear Sinister,
I went away for a while, but now I am back, on a different address. My only thing of note to say right now is that I have moved to Brighton, and thought I'd tell you all, even though in every place I have lived so far (Toronto, Coventry, Macclesfield and Boston MA) I have distinctly failed to meet up with any Sinisterette not known to me in other capacities. I assume, Brighton being the magnet of cultured people that it is, that there are a few of you here. It would be nice to say hello. In a flurry of activity I have been writing songs (in a sort of Kristin Hersh or Mirah style) and building a website, which I'll tell you about soon, when it's done. Moving from a boring town like Macclesfield (where I've been since December) I'm hoping to make the most of this exciting city and find some open mic things to show off at, after all the main reason I moved here was to make my fame and fortune. But as for finding a place to DJ (which I was quite good at in Coventry and Toronto) I fear I'm just another small fish in a big ocean down here, everyone is a DJ *subtle plea to contacts in Brighton clubs and pubs*. I might have to 'settle' for my own clubnight instead...I've grown up and away from indiepop towards a northern soul-funk-beat mix.
It's all me me me isn't it. That will do for now. There are all these > on my email because I tried to send this once before, unknowingly in html format, and owner-sinister didn't like that. I am sorry for it.
