Hello everyone. I'm not used to this de-lurking business. Up until yesterday I did not have the new single. Because I am lazy. Hey, isn't that pleather Isobel's wearing? Does this call for an exclamation of "phwoar"? I will now quote Ken Chu.

When I woke up I could hear Sturan going "Wig. in. up. du. uzzzz" (that's the accent), Hearing Stuart's enunciation gave me a deja-entendu (if you will)...am I wrong in guessing Stuart's imitating someone's singing style on purpose? Upon reflection all I can come up with for a source for this freaky feeling is Donovan. Now I think of "E. Leck. Trick. Kah. Ba-na-na...Going. Ta. Be. A. Sud. Den. Crayze..." Help.

I wish that Sarah Martin would help me study by singing all of my dry-as-chaff literary criticism readings for me.* Every time I read the word "hegemony" now my eyes automatically close. I think if I heard her sing them I would actually be able to retain more meaning from sentences like "This disavowal of the historical and the contingent was ipso facto a disavowal of any role being accorded to culture in liberal argument." snore. Some Brazilian concert-goers mentioned a cover version of the Mutantes' 'Minha Meninha'. Was the version of 'Baby' like Os Mutantes' too?

Also, my favourite Tijuana Brass LP is surely Tamla Goes Tijuana.

What's yours? I am compelled to answer her question, though I suspect it was rhetorical. I must mention Whipped Cream & Other Delights, the album whose green, lascivious cover art I have seen resting in almost every thrift store record bin I've ever dirtied my fingers flipping through. Which is very many. I finally had to pay ten cents for a copy in order for it to stop haunting me so. Who in the band will get to be the cover model for that one? PHWOAR.

Yours, xoxSGS *And if this is not Sarah singing you can meet me by the Camera Obscura Wednesday night and talk some sense into my empty noggin. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
