Hello Sinister, I write to you again from sunny Ireland, to tell you about how I am not going to go to the B&S gig in Glasgow. It does seem like an appealing prospect, but my glamorous assistant and I have decided to throw away our money on a weekend in Reykjavik. I hear it's a real party town and the kind of place where swingers like us will be welcome. I also have the vague idea it's a somewhat indie place, but that may be because Jaz Coleman of the Killing Joke fled there to escape nuclear war, and also Saton Albarn owns a pub there. I went to see some of that live music last night. Two *local* bands. First up was Neo Supervital, who is this bloke who plays electropop tinged music all on his own. He is rather amiable, but playing music like that he should maybe be wearing a silver cape or something like that. He did the odd thing of playing a cover version of 'Theme From Chalets' by The Chalets, the other band on the bill, which was a larf, particularly as he did all the squeaky girly vocals in a squeaky girly fashion. A crazy world. The Chalets rocked hard as usual. Actually, I don't think they used to rock quite as hard as this, but as a dirty vicar I certainly approve of their new rocky direction. Many of the crowd weren't quite so convinced, with applause and suchlike being a bit desultory. But such is Dublin. Soon they will play Glasgow and you can learn to love them for yourself. Beyond that, I'm trying to finally clear the mountain of tapes I've promised to do for people. The forward thinking sounds of Acid Mothers Temple are filling up the Vicarage even as we speak, so Mr Anscombe's life can look forward to being just a little bit more spaced out in the relatively near future. beyond that, I have little to say. Those of you who hang out in *THE OTHER PLACE* might bump into me next weekend in Nottingham. bless, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
