I'm back with the intention of garnishing another post to Sinister with little tit-bits of information that I left out of yesterday's review. I'll structure this e-mail around Lucy's e-mail from earlier today. Lucy said:

...

DID YOU TAKE A MINIDISC TO THE GIG?

I didn't I'm afraid nor did anybody that I know who went to the gig. It was apparently a no cameras or recording equipment affair. Hmm. *Furrows brow*.

...

And what about the new songs?

Big John Shaft & Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It. Hmm, I've said all I really want to about them in my previous mail. However, I do know/remember the lyrics to Big John Shaft and will try to have them up for the list by next week, if by consensus the list approves.

...

Who did the whoo-whoos in Sympathy... by the way?

That Messr Jackson. He got really into it; doing the whole flailing arms routine and compulsory Mick woo-hoos. His guitar playing reached new heights; and, I contend that he should be inducted into the highest echelon of guitarists. Well, err, mebbe.

...

And did Isobel have a big pair of maracas?

Not that I'm aware of, but... During the intro to The Wrong Girl (where the kind of bell-y sound rings through the guitar driven lead music) she rattled a metal baton off of the metal leg on Geddes' Wurlitzer. Some effect, I'll tell you. :) I got talking to the band after the show. I don't know what the list thinks of asking for autographs but I'm a big child and thus felt compelled to do so. I got all of their autographs apart from the two wymmins'. Damn. Anyways, what they had to say: Stuart: Will the '...Middle Distance Runner' ever be released? Oh aye, definitely. Look out for it, it'll be out soon. Maybe as a b-side to the new singles. He had a big smile at this point so as to say 'Aww, your going to be so happy'. I'm sure the glint in his eye was a knowing look in deference to the fact that it is scheduled for a spring release as a b-side. But nothing's definite. However, he did say it's been about for a while now and it's about time they got it out. Oooh, Stu-art... Stevie: Can I have your autograph, please? *Coy* Eh, aye, sure. *Signs it* *Walking away* Y'know, nobody ever asks me that. My heart nearly broke there on the spot. His eyes lowered, saddened, the blinks echoing the murmured beat of a broken heart. Awww. Chris: I've met you quite a few times, what's your name? David. Here, have I no' signed things for you in the past. *Talking to girl beside him who hands him a phone number. Looks at it. Laughs.* Ha, 1690? Ah'm no phoning that. (I teehee). Richie: Err, aye, sure. Mick: really quiet didn't say much. But well, err, there you go. Make of that what you will. Thanks, David. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
