Sinister: Artist's sons, football and computer names
Hi, list people. I'm a bit bored, so I'm going to write a wee email to pass the time. When I started in this work about a year ago all the computers were named after Star Trek planets (not everyone is sad, just one bloke that started it off). Whenever I have to reinstall one of my machines (we use NT so this happens regularly) I try to start a new trend, always unsuccessfully. I have just given up on Bond girl names (complaining that Pussygalore had gone down on me again was causing too many smutty remarks - the English sense of humour is so purile). Anyway, this morning I decided I'd try Belle and Sebastian song titles. So now, one of the machines under my desk is called 'DOG_ON_WHEELS'. Artist's sons - Gill Scott Heron's dad was the first black footballer to play in the UK - he played for Celtic some time many years ago, when they still wore dead long shorts. I've gathered that B&S are predominately a Glaswegian band - does anyone know if they have any football preferences, and what they are? Going on past experience, bands with musical integrity tend to be tims (Primal Scream, Texas, Rod Stuart, Del Ametri, Simple Minds), whereas Wet Wet Wet are huns. Anyway, I'm waiting for my (strictly analogue) copy of Tigermilk to arrive - can't wait. Will the tickets for the London gig be sold out yet? I can't find a single person down here who likes B&S, so I'm going to have to arrange to import some mates from back home, but this may take time. This is way too long. _________________________________________________ Michael Barrett, Broadcast R & D, Advanced Technology Division, SONY Broadcast & Professional, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG22 4SB, England.

There I am thinking there must be lots of interesting stuff to read amongst the 60 postings from the last 24 hours, only to find out that half of them are only one word long. Anyone read the FAQ recently? Anyway... Not having heard TBWTAS on the radio, I still find myself singing along to the lyrics as I read them, to a completely made up tune. I'm going mad... And I must say, I'm very disappointed that it's not actually about Susannah's lewd and lescivious posts and all-day drinking sessions after all. Although judging by the content of the real lyrics, maybe she did have an effect after all... On Thu, 6 Aug 1998, Michael wrote:

Does this mean we can talk about Showaddywaddy again? (one for the long-term listees I'm afraid...)
