Sinister: Search archives,cover songs and other things
Hi everybody The archives are now working again - they are hosted by a kind friend with a huge computer, (they are very big now and can't be hosted by us) and were temporarily out of order, which we could do nothing about Some of you may have had a virus message, which seems to come from sinister. There is NO WAY you can catch a virus from the list - this message has come from someone who has both sinister and you in their address book. It randomly picks one address to send the virus from and another to send it to. Very friendly. Mails from the sinister list will not contain attachments, so be very wary of any which do. There are some very nasty viruses around at the moment - better make sure your virus checker is up to date. Kin asked about covers and other unreleased songs- the lovely ShawnandEmily listed some here: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200110/msg00355.html In case the archive is down, they said..

When they did the Two Concerts shows back in the dark ages (erm, 1997? - QMC and the Assembly Rooms), they did "Reel Around The Fountain" on the first night. I can't remember if they did it the second night. "What Goes On" at that Angel Thingy synagogue place still remains the finest cover I've seen them do. Just been to see Soundtrack Of Our Lives. They were very good.
