That honour goes to Darran from Hefner. It was in an interview by our friend Jarkko that he sent in to the list last week or the week before. I think Darran Hefner was probably at least half joking anyway. I was just using it as a poor excuse to have a pop at Tim Hopkins in the vain hope that he'll come out with both guns blazing and reduce me to a quivering wreck with his atomic wit.

If I was going to bum a fatty, I'd put on Bronski Beat after Jimmy Sommerville had left. But I've got terrible back ache at the moment. Some time ago, I unsubscribed from the Beepster news list because I didn't want to get it anymore. Wishful thinking. But it's quite good now. Every time it comes through, its ponytail has grown. They've really got that record executive talk down pat these days. I think they sold the original Tube a bit short though. It was instrumental in the early careers of Paul Young, Heaven 17, Fine Young Cannibals and Bronski Beat, to name just a handful. I used to have to go upstairs to watch it. I watch whatever I like now. Last night I watched Lalo Schifrin with a huge fuck-off orchestra. They did Mission Impossible at the end. You should have seen how the square bear orchestra types dug it and really got into the swing. It was a deeply groovy moment for me, quite spiritual. I had a scary nightmare about the Blake Witch Project. It's all your fault. And there's nothing easy or convenient about being a WHO fan, especially a 70s WHO fan. What's more, it's something that I personally feel has made a major contribution to my inner growth as a human being. love, Sister Disco +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
