MULLET It's playing on my mind today. I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and saw a perfectly formed and carefully pruned mullet. Will I be mobbed by the Brixton hoards? I don't understand where it's come from, as I had a 'normal' haircut not too long ago, but for some reason the back seems to be growing twice as fast as the front. If I bring some scissors to the picnic, will someone sort it out for me? HELLO KIDS It's been a long time. I haven't kept up very well, relying on Messers Walton and Titchener to keep me up to speed. It's been a busy time, but you don't really want to know all the stuff I've been up to and I can't really remember to tell you, so everyone's happy. ACADEMY I thought only Australia had academies for things? Don't they send kids there age 2 when their parents think that the way they threw a Farley's rusk on the floor means they're going to be good cricketers/footballers/rugby players/swimmers etc etc etc? Why is there one of these in Brixton? What am I likely to learn? Who are the So Solid Crew? I must say, it's all rather exciting. I will be tottering down on my own to meet up with the rest of the York Sinister Massive and take part in some Ribena based antics. I was listening to the Belfast gig last night to get me in the mood, but i just got a shudder down my spine every time i heard Lamacq comment on 'how amazing that version of The Model was'. Does it bother anyone else, or is it just me? LONELINESS OF A...LONELY STUDENT I will be spending Easter in my house, on my own, just like I've spent the last week, and will spend the next three weeks. I haven't spoken to anyone for three days and I think I'm going insane. If anyone is passing through York, PLEASE come and see me. I need company. My greatest pleasure at the moment is wheeling the wheely bin to the end of the drive and back. 'MODERN' MUSIC Hannah was talking about some new fangled bands called Alfie and The Music. I don't understand what it is kids listen to these days. I'm fed up of being harassed by Alfie hoodie wearing swarms who object to my corduroy styles and slick mullet while the gentle melodies of the Field Mice and The Orchids fill my head. In York, we now have the first Oxfam to be solely dedicated to records and it's fantastic. Heavily overpriced, as Oxfam usually is, but it's for charity and there are some real gems. I got two Sarah albums for a tenner the other day. Whoooo!! Mr Halifax has a copy of that there Alfie record and it sounded like badly done hip hop to me...whatever hip hop is. OOOHHH!! I'm so excited about my trip to the smoke, I'll finish talking about it. As far as I'm aware it will be the largest YSM meeting in our nations capital. I hope they play some other live stuff that they didn't do on the last tour. They've had a bit of time to practice. See you on top of a lovely green hill on Wednesday. love Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
