Dear you lot, Whoops, I've just realised that you need to do some work at a university too. Dammit. Other people have realised this, as I realised when I got emailed two essays. Our teacher is a big fan of the "Inter-Net", and "Electronic E-Mail". He sounds like he is from The American Deep South (as opposed to the "Deep South of England" where I am located) too, where lots of books are censored. Best not tell him we get to read NOAM CHOMSKY books in politics. I bet they're banned too. Jason Andreas - how can you have spent your student loan if you don't have a bank account? Obviously if you haven't got an overdraft you haven't got a bank account from which you need to pay your SLC cheque into... that confuses me. I got my NEW AND IMPROVED bank account today, I expect my student loan cheque to arrive in 2003. Andy asked if Da Doo Ron Ron was any good, and I refer you to the summary conjured up upon the night : "Its like Night of the Living Dead, but with boogie". I feared for my life, being in the corner where the Big and Clever dancers were spinning about and generally showing off. No-one spun on their head though. But they were all veeery sweaty. Chris Geddes has cut his hair off and looks like a skinnier Graham from that Blur. Ooh, and Helen Shapiro was played at one point, and I had to dance to it by myself. I define Cool. Dr Pants: <<Wasn't the future supposed to be all about narrow-casting, with the media catering for finer and finer niche-markets?>> Ah, as a dirty old man once said, there's "no future". Aha! I have found that in Lunding town theres lots and lots of niche-markets catered for and no-one seems to notice it. Track & Field, a B&S themed night? Madness. Theres probably a place for ska as well. Gal Costa and Caetano Veloso were being Brazillian as well in some place. I like Gal Costa bucket loads me. And today in Kingston, there were two tramps howling "Wichita Lineman"! That was ace! I want to be a tramp when I grow up. A Japanese singing kung-fu monk meerkat tramp though. Damn, but I'd smell. Ok I'd prefer to be a higher class of Japanese singing kung-fu monk meerkat. Now THERES a niche market. One day, the media may cater a publication just for me. But I expect not. Hey, isn't this Sinister list our like, own niche-media, man? Text-based of course with the opportunity to become multimedia when we organise and create.... Speaking of which, I have decided to create something to rival Papercutz, and Tigerthingiewhateverthehellitwas that Lesley Jo did (which I saw a copy of the other day) and perhaps even the New Musical Express. My friend Ross is doing a Darkcore fanzine called "Schmerzen Horen" which will include an article dissecting the Pink Floyd influences in Trout Reznors music. I'm going to write for it as well. About... Comet Gain. I'll tell him that they really do work their Kraftwerk/SchoenLapBarfMusik/Avant-Rock influences to the max.... Mmmm, really tonal work with samplers... So now I'm going to do and read a chapter on reader response criticsm vs new criticsm (I think). Soon I will tell you exactly how HARD it is writing an essay, and I will be a commplete and utter student. Even though I'm finding most students to be total tossers! Cheers! I think I must really be 90. Like Joe 90. Doh... Bye, Love Sarah ===== ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
