Sinister: Another pearl, another gannet

[Mark Casarotto]

I can't resist writing another litle something to you all (attention deficit disorder or what?) before bedtime
- especially as I am now v. stressed indeed as I have v. important meeting/interview tomorrow morning and I've
lost the bloody address!! Bugger.

Got a Barclaycard bill for £860 today - that'll teach me to insure a car and buy a 4-track. And now all I need
is a really cheap bass, a really cheap drum machine, some really cheap effects and then my lack of talent will
have no excuse at all. Stil, if anyone likes early Stereolab/Suicide/Spacemen/Skyway (I think - John Kennedy on
XFM seems to play this beautiful instrumental quite a lot and it always lulls me to sleep before I hear who the
artist is), watch this space (or better still, let's jam, like, groovers)...

I bought 5 blank tapes yesterday so that I could spontaneously tape both B&S albums for my friends - one day
someone's going to say "look Mark, just piss off with your wishy-washy fey indie bollocks, alright!" and I'm
going to weep a bit, I'd imagine, before pretending to be into jungle REALLY. One of my greatest achievements
(that's not the right word, but it was a very moving occasion) was making my ex-girlfriend cry by playing Dog
on Wheels to her over the phone - actually, it was when I recited her the lyrics, although those of you who've
heard my guitar playing can probably guess why she was so distressed. I love this band. I never went on picnics
with people who liked Portishead...

Until tomorrow, amici miei,
Biondino xxx
