Sinister: Irrelevant, boring message
Just got back to my poota today after a weekend of indulgence, as per, and had an astonishing 72 messages to wade through - mainly from you lot, and many that were irrelevant to me, but I'm not complaining - it beats work any day. I did notice far too many people being far too harsh on Jake though. Has anyone out there ever heard of tongue-in-cheek (no, it's nothing sexual). If you are offended by his comments, nobody is forcing you to read his posts. I like the 'If you're feeling sinister' album cover, but that's because I'm sad & it's the same colour as my footie teams strip (No, not Man U). I also like dog on wheels, again though that's because I'm sad and I fancy the girl on the cover. We've done cartoon characters.. does anyone else out there fancy someone on an record sleeve? How about literary characters? Mine's Verity from Ian Banks' 'The Crow Road'. Maybe I should get out more and go after somebody who is real.... As for Northern soul, a personal favourite is 'The Wigan Casino Story'.

At last!!! I may be wrong but it seems to be the first time I see Iain Banks mentionned on this list. And yet , I find his books are sooo Belle and Sebastianesque : remember "Whit" and "The Crow Road". When I read his books, I couldnt help thinking there must be kind of connection between the characters and Isobel or Stuart or other members of the band. I know, it sounds ridiculous, but well, the stories always (?) take place in Scotland, with lonely kids asking questions about love and religion and boredom and society and many other things ... I dont know what you think about Iain Banks. The only thing I know is he's totally unknown in France : no translation, nothing about him. As this list must *also* deal with feelings and emotions, I just feel like telling a wee story about me. I've just moved in a new flat, near a school in Paris. And my day is punctuated with playground noises : at ten, the children go out from their classrooms and play. I can't see them. I can only hear them play, shout, laugh and cry... It's exactly like the beginning of "If You're Feeling Sinister". At 10.30, a bell rings and everything goes silent again... I love this noise. Actually, it's not a noise. It's music.

If it turns out to be Liverpool or Arsenal I still won't be very impressed... ;-) Nick. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
