Hello people, I thought the end of the world was nigh when I heard the distressing news that Noel had left Oasis and was not to return. What other raison d'etre could I have? But then I was reminded that Status Quo are about to go on tour and once again every cloud has a silver lining and I wasn't quite so down, down anymore. As for this Belle & Sebastian band I agree with everyone, even that Nick Dastoor geezer, but I like Legal Man loads and glad it's been released and glad it's not on the album as I'm sure it would get my goat when I was in the mood for the other songs on there. And I've already had enough trouble with legal men and my goat. We're just good friends. Honest... And as for one of our more prominent tranvestite scarlet nail varnished list members being our only footballing talent, apart from that lucky keeper Robert Smudger, I'm afraid we are indeed all crap. But we foul like demons and dig out results a bit like The Wombles of old. Bagsie I'm Tomsk though, as he's my hero. He knew that berk Lee's phenominalism was just the feeling you get when you collect shiny things on common's. I don't care what Orinoco says. I really don't... Talking of being ignorant I went to the Tate Modern art gallery and made the mistake of emailing a friend about it, who then gave me a review of the whole bleedin' place and has now asked me what I liked. Am I gonna seem stupid if I said I like the shiny ones? Ho hum... Actually I did like the video of Gilbert and George just standing there, one smoking a fag occassionally. Much better than this Legal Man video nonsense I've been hearing about it. Keep it simple. Like Jim Rockford's files are, all ordered alphabetically and everything. Big Gay Ally also mentioned that he was interviewed for some radio station. I was also questioned after I inquired why they were sticking their microphone over my head while I was having a conversation with an acquaintance, I should have done a Liam and grabbed and stomped on their recording equipment. So if you want to hear my detailed eloquent theories such as "you're my best mate you are, no it's not the drink talking, you really are" just tune in... Actually don't as they asked questions like "do you think B&S are selling out", to which I replied "hmmm... interesting question..." whilst laughing. Surprisingly, it was quite a short interview... And also you'd have to go to the Sheffield area to hear it, which has the museum of pap you know. Oh what a day I've had. I nearly left the house once but thought better of it. Right I've just stopped my stopwatch and this post has taken me 67 hours to write, mainly because I've had to translate it from Volapuk first. Te ra, Martin P.S The Relict and Camera Obscura are grate. I just thought I'd mention that, no reason. The latter of which are on some tape that's on it's way to somewhere called sweetbread or something like that. P.P.S I saw that Poetry Parrot down the pub the other day pissed as a newt. Which was quite confusing as his mate the Neoplatonist Newt, who couldn't handle his ale, was as a sick as a parrot. Anyway, apparently said parrot has got bored of prose and has taken up DIY, which is nice. He's coming round next Tuesday to put up some shelves. So if you want him after... P.P.P.S God this is droning on, but can anyone enlighten me on Billy Maconie? e.g whether they're any cop, and if they are what I should purchase. I'm off now honest... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
