Sinister: PROG ROCK, MY ARSE!
You turn your back for two minutes and look what happens, flipping Pink Floyd everywhere. Now, I'm a reasonable man, most of the time, ask anyone, but i WILL NOT STAND for this kind of talk. Pink Floyd are sad old hippies yer dad liked, they are not for the likes of us, we must point and laugh at their fans and, indeed, at them, should we get the chance. Comfortably numb?? comfortably ARSE, more like. Piper at the gates of dawn?? Piper at the gates of SHITE. And they're responsible for bob geldof, and global warming and england being shite at football probably. If i may go back to Mr Kado's original point: "all that bullshit and bombast makes me ill" That was a partly political broadcast on behalf on the "where the bludy 'ells 'OPKINS when you need 'im" Party. All this talk has obviously warped Dastoor's mind as he asterisked TWO footnotes, and then only gave us ONE (*carsmile has mental image of dastoor giving us all one). I must say those Russian mechanical boots sound ACE, if very scary. Although not as scary as hundreds of lists of second hand records ;) Daf Moore commented on Ms House's news of NO TOUR, and I concur. Now I'll have to find another excuse for spending my redundancy on a trip to new york. Whatever happened to that tribute band that was being planned? Speaking of tribute bands (creaky link ahoy), was anyone else sad enough to be watching "winning lines" on Saturday nite. There was this guy on, and the two questions he got right were on S Club 7 and Lulu, but the funny thing was, you see, he was a METALLER and in a Mettalica tribute band, I laughed, but then my life is short of simple pleasures. I must say, the L*ndon p*cnic seems to be being organised with a touch more continental flair and elan this time. No more hanging around outside tube stations with the 16 year olds looking like we've all been stood up, oh no, this time we have the relaxed sophistication of a proper grown up PUB, although once we're in there whether we can actually be ARSED to walk up the hill remains to be seen, especially if the weather continues like this, ie PISHING down. oh, Edinburgh, 18-23 August, me and the mrs will be visiting for the fringe, anyone about? xoxo CarsmileSteve Oh if anyone is really bored with their summer hols/job/life in general, my mate's just sent me a pop quiz featuring 200 lyrics from 90s songs to be identified, if anyone would like it, please mail me, GRATE fun... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

Now, I'm a reasonable man,
Apparently not.
but i WILL NOT STAND for this kind of talk. Pink Floyd are sad old hippies
They are quite wealthy, so likely not too sad. As for hippies, they actually never were. Well maybe Syd was, but the pink Floyd were always much more than what the majority of their fans thought they were (eg. dark Side of the moon, the "hippie drug album" actually being about mental insanity) - much like a modern day sinister little band I can think of ;-)
yer dad liked, they are not for the likes of us,
My my aren't we in a little snit. Who is this "us" you speak for child? I thought this sort of prejudiced narrow minded nonsense was frowned upon here? perhaps not. In any event, try not to talk through that "arse" of yours ok Stephen.

Thankyou Carsmile and Casarotto for your intelligent thoughts on the 'floyd. And indeed knightowl for your, well... thoughts. I am able to settle this argument once and for all. I am in the fortunate position of having never knowingly listened to a Pink Floyd recording, and therefore have the unique perspective that only such noble ignorance can allow one to achieve. The following statement is my considered opinion and is, as such, incontrovertible: Pink Floyd are f*cking shite. One does not often have occasion to use such language, but in this case I make an exception.

There are times when it is one's solemn duty to speak the truth. I don't expect to hear any more argument about it.

Fine use of logic. Ergo, the next Belle and Sebastian album is shite. Well, until I hear it it is anyway....... Ok, thats probably more than enough out of me.
