Sinister: don't leave the Coldplay on repeat baby

wrote about coldplay and the song the scientist - and i wanted to say that the song also evokes the need to cry in me <<
Coldplay also always evoke the need to cry in me. Like when my old downstairs neighbours used to play at 5am, almost ritually, every night, both Coldplay albums, one after another. My flatmate was at the brink of breakdown until they moved out. One time in my local pub my friend overheard one of the downstairs neighbours (who happened to be at the pub also at the time) making one of the most defining statements in musical history. Man: "There has been no good bands since the 1960's you know" then followed by: Man: "...except Coldplay" ROFL That tune about yellow though is fun to play on the guitar and warbling over. And also the tune about Shivering you can change the words to sing about erections. and Stine~ talked about getting a speeding ticket, I remembered the time when "a friend of mine" got caught speeding by the speed camera that was pretty scary as he really didn't want 3 points on his licence, and his dad has moved to live in Hong Kong but was still the registered owner for the car, so he shifted the blame to his dad who's had a clean licence for the past 20 years... nice! This friend of mine is remaining anonymous in case there's any cops who are on sinister. Can people be friends with themselves? Ken P.S.: Paulo gave us three servings of his Spaghetti Meatballs, yummy. I don't have any similar stories to tell yet but, tomorrow I'm might be getting some BIORE. So brace yourself for a reporting back. I have a feeling that I'll be pulling out something grosser than Paulo's Vasectomist. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail messages direct to your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/mobile +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

Hello everyone Cheers to Ken for the following overheard quote from his obviously demented former downstairs neighbour.
Man: "There has been no good bands since the 1960's you know"
then followed by:
Man: "...except Coldplay"
It had to take something earth shattering to shake me from the lethargy that set in after the 9 July 2000, because that was the last time I posted. Since then I have slowly sunk into the kingdom of lurkerdom where, unless Keith Watson is still here, I think that I have possibly set a record for longest time between posts. I really have been here all the time and I have felt like posting too but then I am seized by indecision or fear of being contentious, possibly due to the fact that when I posted on Wed, 12 Jul 2000 making an fairly non-controversial comment about Stereolab somebody sent me an email blasting me for my preference for their earlier records. Anyway thanks to Chris Martin's biggest fan (apart from Gywneth) I have returned. Someone mentioned Snow Patrol and their status as Jeepster jumpers and it set me thinking as to whether there are any bands etc. still signed to Jeepster or have they all buggered off. Belle & Sebastian gone to Rough Trade, Looper to Mute, Snow Patrol to Black Lion (according to their Flash happy website) and even Ian McCulloch has just released new record on Cooking Vinyl. Whats left? Just little Isabel or has she jumped ship to sign a mega deal with Sony. I met Ken when he came to Hong Kong at the beginning of this year, we had a good chat and a few beers in Lan Kwai Fong. I'm still in Hong Kong by the way, almost 7 years, and no I don't know anyone with SARS. I'm sure B&S will give us a miss just like other music stars who have recently cancelled, the Rolling Stones, Moby and Andy Williams. See you in 2006.
