*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---*

Yesterday I was listening to Reading Festival on the radio. It was SUPERGRASS, and when they did their enormous hit song they were boosted by large-scale audience participation. I suddenly had a terrifying vision of a field full of thousands of identical ROD BEGBIES singing "Have a fag, stub it out" in happy unison. I also heard RANCID. They were pretty poo, but not quite as bad as I had imagined. They did a SHAM 69 cover for a start, so that can't be bad. In an interview situation they tend towards the monosyllabic, but they did claim to have lots of fans in Jamaica. Can this be true? What else did I hear? ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN - not the same without the proper drummer - and a very pleasant BUTCH VIG interview.

oh noooo! when was it on the radio! i missed it! i was there on the saturday for supergrass, even though i opted to see unbelievable truth instead, and so i only caught the last few songs of 'the grass'..it's a shame belle & sebastian weren't playing - then it would have reeely been the perfect festival. but it was great as it was..except for the fact that the wonderfull jonathan fire*eater have split up..which was devastating news for me. oh, and echo and the bunnymen were poo, so i ran off to get severely crushed in the crowd of idlewild fans instead. i ran away and went shopping as soon as rancid appeared - then i went and saw snug. i have to say that the rulers of the day were the beastie boys. never have i danced so much. but anyway, erm, oh yes - that b&s song 'wrong love', is it going to appear on any cd at any time? kos i didn't notice it on the track listing for the album, and i really do love that song so much (and please excuse me fr being very ignorant, but who sings the lead vocals on that song?). ok i'm going now BYE *bug* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
