hallo, salutations, greetings. firstly: P.J. Miller claims that the delegados are "folk as fuck", have you heard "domestiques"??!! i wouldn't class that as folk in ANY alternative dimension. ... i really must buy the new album and check out what all these folk claims are about. the songs on the john peel 50, well, they seem alot better than irelands version of it, Fannings Fab 50 which usually consists of the first 20 being Oa**s, and the rest some other lick arse shite, oh, but he throws in a few "alternative" tunes for us musos to squabble over. so, people of great britain, appreciate what you have! even if it is a balding middle-aged man with a funny voice. wasn't someone asking about decent venues here in dublin? well, it can depend on the time of year. But the mean fiddler, the red box, eamon dorans, whealens all play good music generally, i saw a flyer for "fibber magees" the other day, with loadsa decent bands on it, but i've heard things about that pub, so i'd stay away if i were you. also keep an eye out for any gigs on in the temple bar music centre (on thursdays theres a good club here), the olympia, the sfx, and that new vicar street one which i haven't tried yet, it's all seated, but you're supposed to be able to see the stage from every seat. now i've done my helpful deed for the day, i don't care if i get a lambasting over disagreements on the quality of the venues, i'm only being nice! ohh, outside right now, one side of the sky is light grey, and the other, dark, mean, murky, and looking pretty sinister. wish it'd snow here, i want to see a fox run in the snow. does anyone agree with the theory that vibes you pick up during the day can be converted into dreams? i'm usually a pretty well-adjusted individual, but last night i had a dream, which was sort of like a quentin tarintino film. There was a downstairs club on fire, looting, petrol bombs, and a small puppy had been implanted with a microphone, then when it had done the spying for the bad guy, he hung it with a stethescope off an office lamp, and there were all these weird close ups. my mum is pretty stressed at the moment, and i think i had the sort of dream she should be having. the other theory could be that we swapped dreams. i just made a belle and sebastian tape for a friend, i hope thats another convert i can check off on my list. thats enough of me for now finn by the way, was anyone here at the belle and sebastian, manchester town hall gigs about a year ago? was it really the way the NME described it? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
