*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Goodnight sweet list, for I must take my leave. I will miss you all terribly, your words have too frequently offered cultural and emotional succor in a arid and frankly horrid office. Well, my job likes me about as much as I like it, so we have agreed to part, citing only "musical differences." Unfortunately in the ensuing custody battle I have lost the only product of our union that has brought me any joy - the computer, and hence the list. I'll still be checking in from the outside world from time to time, so any "good riddance to bad rubbish" and "where's my god-damned tape you conniving shyster?" ,messages will reach me eventually. Out of interest, so would any "keep your chin up, it's only a job" and "would you like to come back to London and live in Fitzrovia in my empty flat, and make a film about Jeffrey Bernard?" type messages. For my parting summary of matters listish, I would only like to comment on the fact that as much as I love that band that is sometimes mentioned, on the whole the list is at it's best, like all good writing, when it digresses. Please continue to waffle about French films and your holidays and poor train service - in it's way, it says more about B&S than three pages of notes on that flugelhorn solo. I hope to see some of you in the real world sometime. Oh, what am I saying, "real world" - this has at times been much better than that. Love, and a slightly awkward hug Richard P.S. any L.A. types who still want to do the listening party next week email me - Ryan, Raechel, and anyone else who has the nerve to enter a car full of strangers whose only common bond is that band and a desire to drive up PCH listening to the new elpee. P.P.S. if there's any news about West Coast dates, would someone remember to let me know? Although now I'm unemployed, maybe I'll come East....geography experts - which would be the nearest city? Petc. - Andreas the tapes are on their way. I hope you dig the Flat Earth Society. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
