Sinister: Hot pumping disco action

[Tag]

Allright squires,

I'm going to write a load of crap now (anyone writing 'so what's new?'
will be treated with the contempt they deserve), I can feel it in my
water.

That's a shame.  A bit of tennis would make me a lot happier.  After
all, Pavement wrote a song inspired by Goran Ivanisevic.  Nice to see
that insipid little shit Henman falling at the first fence, while
Rusedski reigns supreme.  I like Greg - he could've been the Canadian
number one, and chose British citizenship cos he loves his girlfriend,
the big soppy pussycat.  German Number 2 Anke Huber is the woman I
love.  AND Peter Miller is married to Arantxa Sanchez- Viccario.  At
least that's what I've been led to believe.

I'd like to hear about the Icelandic club scene.  And what's big in
Greenland?  In 'Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow', it mentions a place
called Disko Bay.  That's where Belle and Sebastian should record
their live quadruple album 'Ice and fire:  Belle and Sebastian Red and
Raw in Disko Bay'.  The laser show could be at least the equal of Jean
Michel Jarre's.  I'd love to see Chris playing that synthesiser JMJ
had where you just put in your hand across a beam of light to play a
note.

It's not the 'proper' East End, it's Canary Wharf - stop trying to be
Reggie Kray.  I know all about your secret life, tossing stray
farthings to shoe shine boys in bistros, while screaming 'SELL ALL
DEUTSCHMARKS' into your mobile phone to your 'man' in the City.  It's
hardly The Blind Beggar now, is it?

Incidentally, did you know Honey, our glorious leader, is the
lost brother of those latterday day Kray Twins - Grant and Phil.

I know someone who's got two cats called Drum and Bass.  They're going
to look bloody silly when one of them dies.

The word is 'cack'.

Enough to know what 'de puta madre' means.  The only Spanish I can
remember is dirty.

>and is a good friend of Bigas Luna (damn!)

It's true. Javier Bardem's character in 'Jamon, Jamon' is based on me.

No, you're right.  They sound like Jean-Michel Jarre and have no funk.

Well, I heard the same thing from someone who knows someone who knows
Stuart Murdoch quite well.  'Tigermilk' - I've got it on tape.
Hilarious.

And now my favourite letter of the day:
