Sinister: Welcome Home Mr Duke, Welcome Home
Ahhh, Mr Duke returneth like the messiah and speaketh the following words:
oh well. It's lovely to be back, but don't expect it to last long, especially if you're not going to instantly vote me number one in the list crush stakes.
Fucking Hell!!! He's real. Mr Duke is real. I'm very, very happy that you've returned Mr Duke. You haven't been around since I joined Sinister and I thought you were maybe just some made-up focus for all the wonderfully inane banter that goes on round these parts. You're my hero Mr Duke. So, can I come and visit you? Can I stay at your house? Will you introduce me to some of the nice girl pupils? I'll tell you what everyone's been saying about you. I'm a right sneaky little sod. And I love you Mr Duke. You can have my list crush any day of the week. Then there was another fine prediction from Mystic MIller:
Right, I'm off to watch the football, it should be quite exciting tonight.
And bloody hell, it was exciting. We had to set up segregation in our living room. We were all going to pile round Tag's house and give him a kicking if it ended up a draw, but then we didn't want to go out in the rain. Just as well. Reading his message from last night I suspect the little fella was in a foul mood. He'd have probably used karate on us. Anyway to brighten up the list I suggest Mr Tag tells us some interesting historical railway facts. I'll start though. Mr Charles Dickens survived a fatal rail collision five years to the day before he died. Imagine the consequences for English literature had he been killed??? Spooky, huh? Well not really. As far as I can tell he wrote fuck all of consequence in the last five years of his life. But see, I knew nothing about this pillar of English literature a few days ago. Now I've expanded my knowledge. This is what's known as "bettering yourself" and I hope we're all agreed that this is a good thing. Er, is that another nail in the coffin of Sinister? Sorry folks. The NME Rock 'n' Roll Years book's got some interesting facts in it though. Like one about Mr Keith Moon who used to dress up as policeman before Who shows and search the audience for drugs. Presumably he "confiscated" any he found, but this was only implied. That was really for the benefit of Watson and Miller but I suspect they knew this fact already. Oh, and having spent the first eighteen years of my life in a council house on one of these so called "rough" estates, I'd just like to say they're brilliant. When I was very small (about Tag size) me and my other little friends used to envy the people who got to live in the tower blocks. Dreamy forgotten days when throwing a milk crate full of empty bottles from the fourteenth floor was the most excitement anyone could have anywhere in the whole world ever. And that'll do from me.

only as real as you want me to be... i can imagine being extraordinarily unreal to some people. most of the kids in fact because i've been bugging them this week, but it's my job so that's okay, isn't it?
You're my hero Mr Duke.
hey, don't take the piss... one of my friends once sent me a bit cut out of a dictionary. it was the definition of the word 'Paranoid'. i used to have it pinned on my wall but it fell down and i lost it. Or it might have ended up in the Black Sabbath album sleeve.
Will you introduce me to some of the nice girl pupils?
chance would be a fine thing. they're all Kappa bedecked permed poodles slugging cider down the back of the multi-storey. Belle & Sebastian fans the lot of them...
And I love you Mr Duke. You can have my list crush any day of the week.
i told you already about taking the piss... you better watch it or i'll start on about the Lovin' Spoonful. And for those of you old enough to remember and care about such things, the perpetrator of the crime has since repented and feeds me beer as recompense. It's only fair, after all. I think i told you all that already though. If so, sorry. Evans suggested that you rent out his mates bedroom that overlooks my house and get a pair of binoculars... i'd recommend otherwise. i rarely venture out of the house, modern life being such a hectic drain on energy and besides, people smell. I will be out in the Exeter Waterstones on Dec 16th around 7pm though, so if you want to stalk me, come along and introduce yourself. I'll probably read something amusing about Belle & Sebastian. It's an in-joke at school you know. You know that Wedding Present song 'veryone thinks he looks daft'? That was written about me you know. No really, it was. I used to stand at Weddoes (they used to call them that you know) and shout 'that's about me!' I was reminded of this at the Shepherd Bush belle show because someone in front of me was doing the same thing during 'Stars of Track and Field.' One of the above statements is false. I wonder if his mate is the girl who lives behind our house, and whose bedroom looks into my 'studio'? She dresses with the curtains wide open. it's quite embarassing. i dunno how people do it... i always have to hide behind my monitor. I just listened to both Whistler EPs again and they are lovely, it's true. Someone mentioned them on the Sha-La-La list, and it hought i'd bring it up here. You'd all like them, i swear. Except Brad because they don;t drink blood. Sorry Brad. Who didn't believe that Struan really posted to the list? Shame on you... he's a great big hunk of love and he adores every last one of you with all his gooey heart. Except me obviously because i called his heart gooey and sound like an NME journalist making bad jokes. Sorry. I have been making lots of copies of the Black Sessions and you know what? It still all sounds ravishingly beautiful. Which is it should be. keep the faith my loves. the duke PS. No, seriuosly, who was rude? Or do i have to go and search Honey's new archivey thing and type 'duke is a twat'? ------------------------------------------ 'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses' ------------------------------------------ Tangents On-Line http://www.tangents.co.uk PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ------------------------------------------ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
