Sinister: Corrida de jangada (what does that mean, exactly?)

[Mark Casarotto]

Anyone else reckon that bits of the new Manics single sound like Zombie
by the Cranberries? Not that I've ever listened to it or anything, oh
no.

Hands up who had a crush on Dolores or Rachel out of Slowdive when they
were young, then? Not when Dolores and Rachel were young, obviously
(unless you're Tag who's already admitted to being a pervert, although,
despite the distinct resemblance on Dolores' part, neither are of equine
persuasion). I personally swung between Sarah Cracknell, Margaret out of
Moonshake/Laika and Laetitia out of Stereolab. Yum.

B&S content - Listening to sinister last night for the first time since
the boy with the arab strap hijacked my car radio, I remembered how
absolutely classic those songs are. To think I actually didn't think it
was that great for a while. Fox in the Snow made me melt (ho ho) to such
an extent that is was unable to imagine how it could be bettered. I
don't understand why it's so low on the voting list. Nor Chick Factor,
which is just astonishing (apart from the "plane flying high/woman
saying hi!" section - maybe Stuart should write the words, Stevie).
Whatever, it's nice to discover that the second and third best
songwriters in the world also come from the same band...
