Sinister: Not B&S but BS

[Mark Hester]

...by which I mean Big Star. Bought a CD with their two albums on at the
weekend and it is absolutely amazing. The Teenage Fanclub connection
is not as obvious as everyone makes out but at least I know where
'Thirteen' comes from. That song is incredible.

I know I speak with all the zeal of a recent convert, but there is no
denying the power of these  guys' music. Do any of you know what has
become of Alex Chilton? The sleevenotes tell how Chris Bell died in a car
crash but other than saying that Chilton was demoralised and out of
music by the 80s nothing more was said.

I'd like to hear I am the Cosmos but if any of you have a copy it is
probably so valuable that you wouldn't play it, let alone lend it out.
