Sinister: Everything in general and nothing in concrete

[Jordi Trenzano Vilar]

Hi, sinisterites:

I have received "Tigermilk" and the english radio sessions, which were sent 
to me by a guy called Stuart Gardiner. Really wonderful. I think that some 
of the astronauts  who came to explore at the "discovery" should have taken 
a copy with them, because I just can?t imagine how it could be hearing 
"electronic renaissance" a million miles from home.
Yesterday I heard a song from the forthcoming Velocette album. Really 
lovely. I am looking forward to hear the whole album.

for them to grace our shores it's so exciting! break out the platform 
shows,
lame gold hotpants and feather boas, I say! Girls, too!! someone asked 
about
heroes, I have to say Ms Cracknell is quite high on the list for me. She 
has
the voice of an angel and the kind of popstar-drag-queen icon thing working
for her. Who cares about the wonky eye, she's just precious.  They did this
VH-1 (christ, i watch too much of that...) "divas" special and instead of
having any real glam chicks it was all ho-hum city with Celine Dion and
Pariah Scarey. Sarah is way cooler..."

I saw them live at the spanish Benicassim Festival (along with PJ.Harvey, 
Bjork, Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, Tindersticks, Gorkys Zigotic Mincy, 
Goldie,...... anything to envy to the english ones ? I do not think so) and 
they were really sweet. I do not have any of their albums, but if you can 
make dance 20.000 people who are tired of walking 45 minutes in order to 
get into the stage, be sure that you have something special. They ended 
with a slower version of "He is on the phone". Anyway, I just cannot 
imagine Celine Dion singing this song or Mariah Carey making a crime of 
"Silvye". Can you ?

Stuart, I have sent you an E-Mail, but possibly something has gone wrong 
with my computer and you did not got it. Let me know, please.


Jordi.
