Hi Perfumed Ones, Nice to see so many old codgers out amongst the yoof on the Sinister streets recently, shuffling around, hacking, & muttering about the war. Dot Allison was excellent at The Arts Centre, we'll have to buy some records. Arab Strap were too, although towards the end Aidan & Malcolm were taking it in turns to walk off-stage in a huff. This probably because of the cool dudes down the front (out on their first big weekend?) sitting on the edge of the stage/in circles, back to band, chatting through their set. Even the Middleton Mad Axeman stare couldn't scare them into realising what they were doing. Proud Dad sends thanks to Il Duce, Signor Miele, for pinning the photo of Sally & I in our Bowlie chalet on the Sinister board, coz she looks dead pretty in it. Michele - Sally thought that being a Sinistereen at second hand didn't qualify her for meet-ups, so she met up with the Super Furry Animals in Virgin & got put on the guest list for their gig that evening instead. Someone stole my copy of Don't Fear The Reaper, a long time ago Going back not quite such a long way, I couldn't make head or tail out of Damon's second poem My hand is up in answer to Mr Messent's Eifel 65 question, (which is probably why this took so long to type) Adam: Claude Lorrain, Poussin, Corot, Courbet, Renoir, Monet, Gauguin, Cezanne, Degas, Pissarro, Seurat - but I guess you get the picture Randy Kalifornia's Dad was the drummer in Spirit Luckily for true Belle Heads everywhere Sir Cliff made me take out the extended comparison between Isobel & a sitar Ailsa speculated about Stuart D's motivation for writing songs for B&S: I thought it was just to earn royalties to finance all the projects he's really into. However, I agree that they do come out pretty well despite that. Approbation is the new props Sister Who Came First, what's the difficult part about a tape for me? Alasdair "Pele" Cook: Grazing In The Grass was played at the Gormless Weebles concert in London. A careful listener would also have heard it played by the DJ (Beans?) shortly after the triumphant end of B&S' Bowlie set. I love Alistair when he takes the piezo out of himself Like Trousers, Like Brain David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
