Dear All I hope this finds you in remarkable fine fettle. i should really get a new opening but i really can't think of one so i won't. So thie first thing on my mind- GLASTONBURY- it was great but the gods of fate were not smiling nicely upon me last night. I was tired and i stayed up all the way to midnight- i thought-buggeer this for a game of toy soldiers i'm aff to bid. So i press OTR a whole 5 times incase i missed anything and it turns out that within 5 minutes of me putting on the tape they were there on stage- wandering alone is ace and i want to know where stevie a) gets his glasses and b) gets the coat. Also i must agree with someone on the list who said that sarah has come into her own since the unfortuate incident of last month. SHe has and it is about bloody time. SHe is talented and i think that waiting for the moon to rise prooved it only she has been masked by the *personification of twee* which leads me onto the sad topic once more. Someone said that she embodies tweeness- does she heck. If being twee involves being moody and not performing for your fans while still living off them then slap me in theface with a wet fish. Twee is all nice and fluffy which i don't think her tweeness really embodies. i think so anyway but only cos i'm listening to i'm waking up to us. "I think they are holding a grudge against the Republic of Ireland"- thus spake the words of ms lynch. It doesn't suprise me even though ireland is monstrously expensive ( it cost me a ?2.50 for a normal coffee earlier). The gig wasn't great audience wise but at least it didn't desend into what the pulp gig last year did- lets just say free tickets to northside dubliners is never a good idea. ( i hope i am slowly offending the irish contingent) Speaking of which MEETUP for some reason should be on the agenda- i suggest stephens green then when it gets dark and they decide to shut the park up adjourn to Keoghs just off grafton street- that is if i make it up to Dublin. OH on to the topic line-for once this isn't just a topic line taken from a simpsons episode or a song (Well it make it quite difficult as i am listening to ravi shanker). It is infact my life. Every monday and thursday is taken up with window cleaning-it is a good job, paid well and i get on with the boss. THe down side is people think you are idiots cos you aren't working in a shop or something. Plus you get all these smart arsed comments aobut "ohh you missed a bit" and another one that got quoted at me 3 times monday " will you come oveer and do mine" Stand aside Billy Connelly and jack dee. So summer is working out for me which is more than can be said for last years which both sucked and blew. Days where i am not working are spent in town with friends or at friends housing chewing the cud and plotting ( well writing a script for a going away party) or trying to tell an 11 ukranian ( who is a friend of friends sister) not to watch films such as Hannibal ( which even i refused to watch). THere were a few of us sat around chatting about Shallow Grave and out bursts this kid "ewan mcgregor was really good in that" we couldn't believe that she had seen it. RIght that is all i can really think to saay-this was composed over a couple of days godspeed jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
