Sinister: Feeling sinister about djs

[Keith Watson]

 great bands (bar none!)

[ Incidentally - since B+S are in America at the moment in case people think this discussion is losing the thread a bit, there's not really much news to report, when they're back I suppose it'll get back on the track a bit.
	Also, am I the only one to think that "Slow Grafitti" which was on the radio last night was not just a *tad* bit boring? ]

Cheers.
