Hello all, Friday the 13th, today, the 13th Birthday of Sinister, it is. Hope everyone's feeling good today, and your horoscopes are nearly perfect. There was a mini-sinister revival last month, and I liked that. P F and Sam Walton chewing the fat. And others joining in. All these names, Ruth A Deller! Mummy I ve grazed my knees! Robin Stout! FP! All good stuff. I wanted to reply but I was too busy recovering from World Cup excitements, I don't even remember what happened in the World Cup now. I still remember what a vuvuzela sounds like though. I hope B+S will use one in their next song/musical. So P F and Sam Walton had a debate about what "Funny Little Frog" meant. I never actually knew what the actual line with "funny little frog" was, I kept hearing "You're the funny little frog I'm Eboue", and thought it was something political about Ivory Coast and France. But "I'm Eboue" apparently is actually the way Sturan pronounces "in my TH-RO-AT". Which I love. It's also been almost 5 years since the Barbican IYFS "Don't look back" gig. 5 chuffing years, can you believe? It's pretty mad. 25th September 2005, it was. Let's not look back, though. LOOK FORWARD Who's going to Bowlie 2? Who's going???? MMM??? (ghd?) Who's playing poker with me in a Chalet at 2am? Does Sturan play poker?? He must be quite loaded these days so might be a big fish to catch.. Is the new album going to be any good? Happy birthday, all of us.

Thanks to Kenneth Chu for reminding us that it was a birthday, and for noting the latest list revival. I also remember the IYFS Barbican bash and associate it with Kenneth, and Carsmile. I didn't go to the gig! I just travelled to somewhere that I think was called Finsbury Circus, unless that was a different time. I remember turning up at the Circus picnic that didn't quite happen, and the rain, and then us going to a bar near the Barbican, which had tons of attractive chicks in it who I'm not sure had anything to do with the B&S event, unless they did. I saw in the Guardian about the new record and I was quite impressed and encouraged, somehow! I think I liked the way they said to write the name of the record on walls, in Glasgow or was it just anywhere? BTW the sinistrine who created a new board about B&S - wasn't it impressive? - included a thread for photos about that. Maybe we should all look at that board again. I saw a film recently called THE ILLUSIONIST which was like old-time Sinister List Content, ie something people would talk about, praise, perhaps even hotly debate, because it had beautiful drawings of Edinburgh (no, not Glasgow) c.1950 or so, and it had a wee lassie who was just a wean really who cleaned a wee inn on a wee Scottish island, but when she went to the city she blossomed into such a bonnie lassie in wee white shoes and a lovely blue dress. It all reminded me also of Alasdair Gray who wrote about Edinburgh in the 1950s, and many years later did whatever he did with B&S. Now I am reading James Kelman's KIERON SMITH, BOY which is a long buik all about growing up in Glasgow in, some time, in the past, long ago, years ago it was. How sometimes you would be in the close and you could see a dog. If it was your friend's dog. Maybe it was. Then you could clap it. The fur on the dog was hard but you could clap it still. How it would be to have a dog. If you said, stay, stay, the dog would. Just stay. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
