Hello boys and girls. How are we all? Good. I'm okay. I had one of those days when little things make you quite pleased. I was eating a KitKat at lunch, and one of the fingers didn't have any biscuit in it and so it was just pure chocolate, which was actually a really nice surprise. Okay, I'll stop. I'm just writing to say a few things that I've been saving to put in one decently-sized post as opposed to lots of little possets of one-liners. David Moore said something about being surprised about liking the new SFA single. I too think it's absolutely fab - another new direction from those loveable chaps. I might be a bit biased though - I love the SFAs to bits. On the subject of new singles, I've just heard the new Cast <<shudders>> single on the radio, and it's actually quite alright (cue the sound of 1000 sinisterines clicked delete simultaneously). They've gone funk! No jokes, they've got a sampled, looping brass hookline, and it sounds quite nice. I wouldn't spend £2.99 on it though. Unless it was on really nice vinyl... The new Beta Band record is also flipping brilliant, if you like the Beta Band. Ken and Megan - I too was tantalised on Monday by expecting to waltz into the VShop and pick up my copy of JD. I hate it when I do that. Has anyone else heard the advert on xfm for The Best Of The Smiths? It's got the Emperor John Peel talking over the top, but he sounds like he's trying to be really enthusiastic and !R!A!W!K!, but you can hear that in between every breath he's being shown a fat cheque just to keep him talking. It's really quite funny. Well I think so anyway. That's all really. Quite uneventful, although I think Cliff Richard would be interested, so I'll click send nonetheless. Only two weeks till the RAH gig, and I've got Kings Of Convenience before then, which will also be very very beautiful. I'm excited Right then, love to all... S.x P.S. Haven't heard much from Peter Carter recently. Just an observation. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
