I wanted to be prolific. So much for that. WOOPS My sinister reading has been diabolical these last few months. For some reason, I only feel comfortable reading it from the comfort and privacy of my house, not a sweaty, stinky computer room full of frantically tapping students. I'm sure I have missed a lot. Miss Gina and Asm 'The Muffin' Walton fill me in sporadically, but I feel left out. PRETTY THINGS THAT HAPPEN Snow Christmas Villages Kittens BELLE AND SEBASTIAN They seem to have been quite busy since I last spoke with Struan (ho hum, I'm in awe of David Moore's name dropping but could never hope to beat the grate man (do we still spell grate like that? Is ribena still in fashion?)). The single is nice, although I would rather Struan lost his obsession with overly lush string arrangements, but a bassoon and clarinet on a pop record! Ooooooohhh! The Tonight performance with 'head up my bum' Holland was curious. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it seemed to be a move back to the more shambolic days of old, epitimised by Isobel's recorder part in TWATTYBUS (Do we still call it that?). It sounds like fun was had by all at the Glasgow bash. OTHER PEOPLES POSTS As ever, sinister statistician David Moore has been extremely thorough. It also appears that Apps is being a big sweety. Sherbert Dip. James Danson Hatcher is becoming as prolific as I hoped he would. Is he being trained up as the new Ken? Hannah expressed my feelings perfectly. I was in a daze for several hours after finding out that Alled Jones is an imposter As I predicted, Asm Walton's opinions are wrong. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR As above. Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
