Sinister: re ooberman
and I'd like to suggest the ooberman ep, it's great, and there is even a track on it like "A century of Elvis" only it is about a rabbit and it all ends up very sad so not that much like "...Elvis". But it is spoken word and it does mention foxes.
yes the ooberman ep is excellent, the first track is special, but i always stop the record before the rabbit one because i find it too traumatic. at least in watership down it all turned out all right in the end, yknow? also, on the subject of childhood books, does anyone remember struwelpter, it was a book of illustrated lessons for small children, the idea seemed to be prevention through putting the FEAR OF GOD into you, eg if you bite your nails A MAN WITH A GIANT PAIR OF SCISSORS WILL COME AND CUT YOUR FINGERS OFF or, on a lighter note, if you dont eat your soup YOU WILL WASTE AWAY AND DIE!!, like, WITHIN A WEEK!!!. my granny had an old copy of it and just the cover illustration has mentally scarred me for life. anyway, i was in a bookshop the other day, and it turns out THEY RE STILL PRINTING IT!!! AAAAAARGH!!!! a whole new generation of children turned into empty emotionlly retarded shells for the rest of their lifes. i assume they will have had to make it more politically correct though, cause it had sambos in it, if i remember right. from tjohn coming through the wall from my brothers room:the proclaimers-sunshine on leith. i suppose my brother can be pretty cool at times. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

coming through the wall from my brothers room:the proclaimers-sunshine on leith. i suppose my brother can be pretty cool at times. How fitting - you can let your brother know that there is indeed Sunshine on Leith today. By the way, who's coming to Glasgow at New Year, we're having a bit of a meet up on the 31st December. There are already a number of the sinister chums coming up - who else is up for it?
