Howdy Sinister, I should be studying for finals, but nothing seems to stick. I think my brain is too filled up with song lyrics. References to family trees going back to the Romans, it all belonging to Cesar, and St. Etienne keep popping into my head, and I can't help but run through the songs in my head. Its a sickness I think. I don't think I've learned anything of consequence since grade school. I just remember things like why the rulers of Russia called themselves Czars (because it means Cesar and they believed themselves to be the heirs to Byzantium (Rome)). Oh well, it doesn't really matter. People keep mentioning the Pixies (I think I did initiate it though, so I'll comment) and I'm all about that. The Pixies only making it to no. 81 is a travesty that should be remedied immediately! They reinvented rock when it most needed to be reinvented. We owe them so much. BTW, 'Pixies fuckin' Die!' is an awesome tribute and I strongly recommend everyone get it. You haven't lived until you've heard the goth version of no. 13 baby. I can't wait until we're all 30 something (I'm sure some of us are already though) and listening to Belle & Sebastian tributes. I haven't decided which song would get the Goth make over yet, but my preliminary winner is 'If you're feeling Sinister'. What do you all think? Now I have to go listen to all the albums and singles and decide how each song would be covered. :) -- Tim Malone currently listening to 'Motherless Child' by Tom Jones, featuring Portishead. I've never really been a Tom Jones fan, but I'm obsessed with this track. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
