Sinister: What did the Frenchman say when the tide came in?
Merci, merci. (Best said in a Glaswegian accent). I've been told by a reliable source that the reason for Isobelle's illness wasn't as innocent as we've been told. Apparently the heady rock 'n' roll lifestyle had been getting to her, and she started experimenting with illicit music. On the night before the Philly gig she was bonking, not to her usual Jacqueline du Pre, but to Oasis!! She spent the next day claiming B&S were 'the best band in the world' and giving the two fingers to people (I was also told she grew an unkempt beard but I don't believe that). The reason that the gig was cancelled was that Richard, who is quite into rock 'n' roll, became infected also and turned his kit into a 50 piece MONSTER KIT. Which he insisted on playing with one hand. Thankfully, after checking the list, Stuart was able to administer a course of suitable Lurve Grooves and all was better. As a way of thanking the list, the band have decided to release Just A Modern Rock Song and, as a special treat, will make it snow on the day of its release.
"Son" means bran, in this case. Old dolls were made of wax and filled with bran. What is bran? Is that the stuff they make cereals with?
Because at 9pm my comedy show goes on for about an hour Wow - Am I really being sent tapes by a real-life comedian? How cool is that. By the way, which drawing is yours? And who started it?
Is Elvis a cat or the late lamented Mr. Pressley. Is it not a dog?

Whoever was asking about the West 54th session - and anyone else who doesn't know: B&S recorded a session for the TV when they were in New York this time last year. Unfortunately they didn't think it was very good (Stuart M even stopped halfway through Mayfly and borrowed a copy of the album from someone in the audience because he forgot the words), and the program's editors agreed, so it has never been (and will never be) broadcast. So you'll have to make do with getting hold of an audio tape of it (I would offer to do people copies but I'm snowed under with tapes already at the moment). Elvis: The great Elvis debate of 1997 took place before the Sinister list took over from the old list, so it's not in the archives. The conclusion was that although Stuart still claims that he wrote it about a cat, we all know that Elvis is in fact a sprig of broccoli. While I'm at it, because I'm sure someone will ask before long, Seymour Stein is a record label boss from America (who was present at the West 54th session, when they played the song), String Bean Jean is about the girl who appears on the cover of one of the releases (can't remember which one off hand), and Judy is a paraplegic Swiss man on a donkey. Well if anyone's still awake after a rare bout of relevancy in one of my postings, I've got a question for you lot. Has anyone spent any time in either Ghana or Southern Chile? Because I'm going to one of them next summer for 10 weeks, and I can't decide which to go to. TTFN, Big Stu (Who's suprised noone has linked the smutty talk of late with the thread that was going last week about types of cheese...) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
