Sinister: WARNING: nerd alert. Indie superteam? Animate them with nitrate!
Indie superteams? My team of cartoon characters will kick your ass! 3-4-3 is the formation. ________________________________________________________________________ GOALIE: Spider-man. Might have been Reed Richards (a.k.a Mr Fantastic out of Fantastic Four), but he's getting old. DEFENCE: -Nightcrawler from X-men. That abitility to teleport will come in handy, since the other defenders aren't too quick. -Thing out of Fantastic Four. A bit like Jaap Stam, ain't he? -Blob out of Freedom Force. No-one, and I mean no-one will run past him. MIDFIELD: -Conan The Barbarian. With that long hair of his he reminds me of Emmanuel Petit. -Donald Duck. With his temper he'd be the Roy Keane of our team. Red card mania! -Zapp Brannigan out of Futurama. Can make a move on the ladies, so I reckon he's good with the ball(s) too. -Spock (from the animated Star Trek- series). The brains of this team. Obviously. ATTACK: -Wonder Woman. Nice chest and great hair that will hopefully distract their goalie. -Colossus out of X-men. Big, tall fellow. Always good when there's a corner kick. -2D out of Gorillaz. I fucking hate Gorillaz, but since 2D = Damon Albarn, I quess he's good with the ball. Pippo Inzaghi of our team: Whenever someone touches Inzaghi, he falls down and complains about it to the referee. Damon can write an album about how he was mistreated inside the penaltybox (hello, Justine of Elastica!).

Fun Sinister fact: I am working on the Gamecube version of the Spiderman game at this very moment. Let me know if you can think of any clever cheat codes. As a somewhat Sinister/B&S/music related note, I saw three bands this past week. The Breeders played the Troubadour, and it was a great show with the new East LA line-up, Kelly all appropriately frumpy, and everyone smoking and drinking beers during the set. Saturday night was Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion with Unwound and the Melvins. I doubt the latter two bands are very much up most of the list's alley, but JSBX should appeal to everyone, absolutely amazing stuff. Great show, even had the theremin up on stage, played a ton of new material, too. As the .sig indicates, today's listening selection is Sleater-Kinney, Dig Me Out. Carrie Brownstein is my new crush (yes, I know there's no hope), and I love her sound so much I want to buy a Rickenbacker 360. m. -- "We are not here to fuck the band, we are the band." -- Corin Tucker, Sleater-Kinney +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
