Sinister: In my cell - WELL, I LOVED YOU
Ally96 was brief. But better that than rien. Today I was listening to Neil Young and Crazy Horse's LP RAGGED GLORY. Some listee or other gave it to me, I think, at a million-dollar bash. Anyway, I thought of its squalls of sound in terms of pop resemblance: 1. 'Farmer John''s intro reminds me of Graham Coxon. That's not really a good thing, in 2001; but it's no great stain on the hide of the Horse either. This reminds me, by the way. I stuck MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH on the CD the other day. Greeted by minutes of silence, I decided to insert the disc into the player and try again. It disappointed somewhat. 'For Tomorrow' has been acclaimed as a great London story blah blah, but it is so darned *graceless*. There's even that terrible moment when Allbran sings 'tomorr-OHHH!! SINGING!!!' As Batman would have said: DAMON - *OUCH!* I don't know. Is anyone gonna stick up for that LP now? I have just reminded myself, 2. 'Days That Used To Be' is, listen carefully now, *** THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN 'MY BACK PAGES' AND 'I DON'T WANNA GET OVER YOU'. *** Don't believe me? Try it. Thinking about this reminded me of the old, old question about what it is of which 'IDWGOY' is a pastiche. The answer 'nothing' is unhelpful. I have always thought in terms of 'The Oldest Swinger In Town'. HAVE I FAILED? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Erm... I guess it's probably not really a good thing to declare a Sinster meeting at the same time as an existing one but... Mani is Djing at Jenks in Blackpool on the 31st of March. Yes, MANI FROM THE STONE ROSES. If anyone is interested, mail me and I'll see about getting tickets. Crashing at my house is fine as long as you aren't too weird/don't plan on getting too drunk. We will be going to Scrouges before hand, where a Double Vodka and coke is £1.50. In other news STUART IS GOING TO READ MY STORY. In a clever ploy, I have managed to secure, through Neil, the attention of Stuart Murdock in reading Judy and the Dream of Horses. The e-mail went as follows "It would be up to Stuart really [whether I get permission to use the title], as he wrote the song. So I'd imagine I'd give him the story the read. Send the current version. I'm sure that'll do for the time being." I'm going to stop gloating/being obsessive/trying to steal sinister people from other meetings/using too many capitals/extending sentances way beyond their natuaral length through the use of '/'s now before I get booed off the list. Oh, and thanks a lot Neil, I'm sure most bands managers just wouldn't have bothered to reply. Much appreciated.
