Blimey, I'd given up on this whole Sinister thing ages ago.I just couldn't quite bring myself to unsubscribe after 8 years. So if there's an attempt to bring things back to life, I'm in... I guess I should introduce myself really, since I've posted, like, once in the last three years. I used to be on here a lot, honest... But then life got in the way; things like travelling round the world, running around a lot, drinking even more, and occasionally pretending to work. Then last year I moved to the States. Well, not really - this isn't America, this is Portland. It's a different world. A world where they rip up a freeway to put in a new park, where bikes are twenty times more common than Hummers, and where you can actually get decent beer instead of Budweiser. A fantastic place to live, at least until Mt St Helens blows up again. And it's also the most indie city around (OK, Austin might dispute that) - Dandy Warhols, Everclear, Modest Mouse, Steven Malkmus, The Shins, Sleater-Kinney, The Decemberists, Elliott Smith... And to all those sinisterines I used to know, and haven't seen in two years or more; I'll be over in the UK 29/9 - 9/10, fancy a pint?
