Sinister: we are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are. we are the mods
Hello Playmates, This is a note to do some plugging for a friend. I like to "plug" my friends, but that's another story. Whatever. On May 2nd (next Saturday, for the hard of thinking) at London's celebrated Blow Up at the Wag, Soho there will be two Finnish groups playing - Hanoi Rocks and no... err the Elevators and Super. I hven't really heard the elevators but Super are. They are in a Cardigans/St Et/Stereolab styleee, singer Minna is a bouncy lovable stage presence, drummer Ville lost marginally to me in a King of the Sauna competition last year, and you should go, because I said so. On a Scandinavian tip (as ever), I have a hearty Tag recommendation for Robot, whose LP has been in strict rotation with "Mezzanine" (Keith, you're right, what was I thinking of, it rules) and Stereo Total's sexy new LP since my return. It's called "Automagic"and it's got pop songs on it. Not wussy "I saw a girl once and she was nice, but I've got spots so I'm fucked" alleged pop songs, but good ones. Lots of analogue synths playing catchy tunes with lyrics penned by a nutter, like the Silicon Teens (he said, sounding old), only better. One of their songs goes "I wish I could buy the pimples on your back and have them on a snack", which is tres romantic if you're a pervert. Happily I am. They're from Gothenburg, you know. Which is in Sweden. Nice to see Madame Cholet (bloody stupid cutie name), talking to Stephen Pastel. How much more shameless name dropping would you like to do, Beth? But what can you expect from someone who used be in a band named after a team once managed by Alex "there's been another murrderr" Ferguson? Finally, having read about the Jasmine Minks looking like Secret Affair, I look forward immensely to reading the Duke's new novel, "Zen and the Art of Lambretta maintenance". Off to Brighton for the Bank Holiday, are you Duke? Keith is a rocker, and he says he'll kick your butt. Leave me alone, you're all weird.

so who's been leaking? i don't mean as in the douglas coupland obsession... anyone notice they cropped up in Shampoo Planet as well? And despite the title i thought his latest was a great read... i said it before, i'll say it again: Douglas Coupland is a great fanzine writer. And actually my new novel is called The State I Am In and it's about a loser lonely old bloke who finds himself in a 16 year old trendy popular kid's bod. Fuck, imagine it, one minute you are a Belle and Sebastian and Jasmine Minks fan trapped in your middle thirties crisis of identity and the next... you're wearing kappa, you've slicked yer hair back and your mates are off to a happy hardcore rave. and yes they still actually say 'rave'. ha ha ha.
Off to Brighton for the Bank Holiday, are you Duke?
way too trendy for me. i'll be suffering post-OFSTED party hangover blues in my garret room, writing articles about the state of the nations' apathetic youth for the Modern Review.
Keith is a rocker, and he says he'll kick your butt.
