Hello Sinister. A piece of junk mail arrived in my inbox this morning, urging me to take a peek up some poor girl's skirt or something, and as I clicked delete, I noticed the date. It made me remember that this time last year, Sinister was going mental - I think there were about 70 posts in 24 hours. For those of you who've joined in the last year, and for those who want a memory freshner, have a sini-history lesson: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200109/date3.html http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200109/date2.html We had a minute's silence in the V-Shop Crouch End this afternoon. We were playinng "Amnesiac" by Radiohead over the store PA, the music came off and everything stopped. That was a long minute. "Pyramid Song" broke the silence, beautifully. It gave me a sense of perspective, that minute - what with recent stuff that's happened in my life. But there's not much more I can say. This post is not all doom and despondancy though, for I have an amusing anecdote to relate to you all. Later on in the day, Fran Healy, from the popular rock'n'roll combo Travis, came into the shop to enquire about a certian PC game (we didn't have it). He asked me what was playing on the stereo. "Belle & Sebastian", I cheerily replied, thrusting the box to TWATTYBUS under his nose. "Jangly Scottish pop - you'd like it", I said with a smile, and he grinned past his beard and corduroy flat-cap and walked out. Well it made me smile, anyway. love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mary Cohen _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
