Hello lovely listees:) YAY! IT'S PAID OFF! What you ask? Well, listening to B&S for good luck music before exams of course! My exam results came back today and compared to my previous efforts were actually pretty good. (Ta to Jessica-GENEUS@aol.com for enquiring so nicely all those weeks ago) Now all those nights of 2-3 hour sleeps are behind me and it's summertime! So fellow B&S fanatics at uni, listening to B&S can boost your mark, although you gotta do *some* study for it too:) This is sorta a replying-to-many-posts at once err post. To S Sarkar, yeah I do love Mono and Tricky before he became self-indulgent. But Mono are a different kettle of fish altogether. Though they are unfairly lumped with the rest of the trip-hop gang, they sometimes make lovely Bacharach-ian 60's pop songs ( not unlike the legendary St Etienne). To whoever liked Calvin and Hobbes, yeah I love that comic too. Pity he stopped making them. It was so evidently the BEST comic strip along with "Cathy" and "Modesty Blaise":) I've got TONS of C&H books and love every one of 'em. It was a class above the rest. I pity you Americans, especially Evan Gregg (this is in response to his postings about Sparklehorse). I mean Sparklehorse are an American band and yet Americans will hear their latest album ("Good Morning Spider" not "Waking the spider") SOOO much later than the rest of the world. What an outrage. Even here in "backward" Australia, I've had "Good Morning Spider" for a good few months. Well at least you have the very considerable compensation that at least you''' get to see them live, while the chances of them ever coming here are *sniff* nil. Go Jason-same-name-as-Richard Juzwiak for championing "Buffy". It's a great show. They showed it over here in Australia over last summer hols and I loved it. It's not kitschy at all- merely very well written and acted and gripping. Unfortunately though it rated well over here, evidently not well enough to beat horrible 'homegrown' Aussie stuff like "Blue Heelers", "Australia's Funniest Home Videos" and AHEM! "the Footy Show" (about guess what? Football!) and embarassingly poor American pap like "JAG" and "Stargate". (Rich if you're reading this sorry for repeating myself!) Hence the second season has not shown yet. What a travesty. Any Buffy fans out there? On the same note, any "Xena" fans out there? (I LOOVE that show too!) What has happened to our darling resident French wit, Philippe? I guess he must be really busy earning the title of "Doctor Philippe". But I and I'm sure many others do miss his surreal and hilarious postings. Come back to us, Philippe! That's all for now folks, hope to read some responses to my postings from my lovely fellow listees soon Seeya Kin Woo p.s. welcome back duke!!!:) and i'm gullible and easily misled but was that really Stuart Murdoch who wrote a while back there (Karen David was the sender's name but the letter ended with his wondrous name!) I'm probably being foolish and lots of peeps are tittering but give me a break! I'm naive alright!:) With A Star Upon Your Shoulder Lighting Up The Path As You Walk ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
