smoking (my only vice) and listening to the tindersticks (one of my few pleasures) go remarkably well together, don't you think? hello everyone. i've not been very sinister at all recently. i have a boatload of horrible exams in less than a month. it's tragic to think that i have many horrid days of feeling like i should be working between now and my annual soujourn to the wide irish west. i do envy anyone here who has just done a-levels and is looking forward to the wonderful world of higher education. i'd give so much to be there again *sigh*. please enjoy every last moment of it. <request for advices 1> have people here ever 'met' other people through email and stuff that they have thought that, just maybe, could be something special? only it's happened to me quite recently and things went from wonderful to less-than-wonderful all to quickly. now it's going to happen again in the not-to-distant future and, after not handling things all that well last time, i'd really like to know how one goes about dealing with such things. (they are different people, by the way) <request for advices 2> the band that i am in are going, some time, to release a new record. it's going to be a double 7" on two different labels (short-fuse and fortuna pop, if you're at all interested). the original plan was to release each record independently (although on the same day) with some kind of token whereby someone who bought both would be able to get a nice shiny gatefold sleeve to put them in. now it's being suggested that we just release them as one happy package. how would the great british indie-buying public react to either scheme - both of which, albeit unintentionally, appear to be verging on being gimmics? <fin> f. -- fountainhead@earthling.net busy - http://fly.to/balls doing - http://listen.to/chemex nothing - http://fly.to/fountain -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
