Hi you lovely people, I'm very envious of everyone who's going to the concerts in Scotland. I really hope B & S will come to Sweden (cause that's were I live, duh). I'm really enjoying the mails that appear on this list. I'm starting to think that maybe this list houses some of the coolest people in the world. But that's just me... Anyway, a friend of mine raised a question a couple of days ago. It's about who the predecessors of twee are. He said Simon & Garfunkle and I had a really hard time arguing with that. What do you think? How come the B & S songs with the strangest name always are instrumental. I mean last year we were wondering why Judy was a dick slap but we never found out why cause the song turned out to be instrumental. And this year they are releasing "Take your carriage clock and shove it" and we all ask why (why you should take your carriage clock and shove it, not why they're releasing the single) ? But guess what, I listened to the song from the Glasgow gig and you know what, it's instrumental. It might not be on the single but it sure looks like it. Are they doing that just to tease us? If that is the case they are certainly very successful. Anyway, hope you're all great. ///Alexander +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
