Hello Sinister. Things always go a bit strange on The List around August, doncha think? For me, August always brings back memories of P*ter C*rter or the A*gel Bl*ckw*ell stirring things up, with regard to Sinister at least. Perhaps it's just the heat. Of course, it might not have been August at all - that's just how I remember it. I must say that I'm very much enjoying Robin's previews of the new album. I have also heard a rumour that if you play Travelling Light backwards, you can clearly hear Stuart David saying "I smell of wee... I smell of wee". It's true, too, y'know; the rumour that is, not the statement. But look out for it - it's just after the free jazz blender solo in 17/8 time. In maybe more substantiated album news, I found this, http://bigleaguers.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4928/, which looks suspiciously like the inspiration behind track seven. He's clearly a looker, too: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/photo?slug=1061781154.mets_dodgers_lad106&prov=ap. However, being the slight sports nerd that I am, I noticed that his batting stats documented 1690 career homers, which sounds pretty impressive for a catcher to me. I mean, I'd be happy with that, for sure. But can anyone who's more au fait with baseball averages help me out? Anyway, lazing on a Sunday afternoon-ah is all very well, but it won't get the dinner cooked now, will it? No, it won't. How did the bank holiday picnic go, anyone? love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Find a cheaper internet access deal - choose one to suit you. http://www.msn.co.uk/internetaccess +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
