ello babies inevitable bonus points for spotting subject err subject (however you will be pointed at and called a goth). So, I'm going to york on saturday for a wedding so i'm afraid you will be denied my physical presence at the picnic (although i will, of course, end up phoning someone i would've thought, who's on vodaphone (and going) anyway?). Am I also correct in assuming that the York massive are going to london? If I am incorrect I'm sure a pint and good company would be appreciated if anyone fancies it, as i get in about half 2 :) I saw GR on special in the window of blackwells the other day and thought of you :) I hope the sinisterines who were in genoa are OK, i must say the italian police looked particularly heavy-handed from what i saw on the news. At least vel should be easy to spot in glasgow in her white boilersuit and bowler hat. Orb said, regarding sundays: for years they used to remind me of avoiding unfinished homework by watching Howard's Way. Now they remind me of sunny afternoons in quiet village pubs in the South Downs. Am I the only one who still gets the "oh god homework!" feeling on Sundays, despite not having had any homework to do for more years than they care to remember, generally it's if i accidentally catch the theme tune to antiques roadshow or songs of praise, or last of the effing summer wine (WHY AREN'T THEY ALL DEAD YET!!!). also if i may take this opportunity to apologise to the people i haven't sent tapes to, it's pay day on friday so i'll do it then. Dr PF: I cannot imagine why anyone would give away their copy of the Raintown LP. It is - I now realize - a pretty high quality debut. I never gave my copy away, although i seem to have misplaced my copy of Adventures through the Ultraworld by the Orb (as opposed to Orb) which a friend was after the other day, has anyone seen it? I also never gave away my copy of "it's a shame about ray" which as well as been the archetypal "short album" is also GRATE on a musical level i have recently rediscovered. also PF, tell us about go west and whether wicky woss has had that gap in his teeth fixed. I fear that priscilla may be known as "the strawberries and cream girl" for ever now, go and get strawberriesandcreamgirl@hotmail while you still can is my advice. Also going to Brazil to see a band is clearly A STEP TOO FAR (unless you live there). also on the "people struan (no i don't know either) look like" front, on stars in their arse final the other week they had a bloke doing Jim (not neil) Diamond's "I should have known better" and *actual* Jim Diamond was on and looked like an old bald stuart, in my world anyway... xoxo CarsmileSteve Baxendale next tuesday? anyone? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
