Sinister: ya take the good, ya take the bad, ya take 'em both & there ya have...

[Erin Lewis]

Hey kids!
     
Bad news first:  Funny that Matthew Neimark should mention a radio show 
called "Breakfast of Champions", because I just read in Jane magazine 
that a movie of the same name is in the works.  If this is an adaptation 
of my favorite Vonnegut novel, THIS IS HORRIBLE NEWS!  Anyone who has 
read the book knows what I'm talking about, because there's no way they 
can do justice to the book.  And I don't mean this in an indiesnob way.  
I mean there are *things* in this book you cannot recreate.  (This 
should inspire you to get reading, shouldn't it?)  Does anyone else 
care?

Good news second:  Stevie Trousers is THE coolest person on the list 
right now, because I say so.  I don't know if Mr. Trousers knew that my 
21st birthday is this weekend (plug, plug), but I just received the best 
present, undoubtedly, from him.  I will not tell you what is inside it, 
for fear he will be bombarded by requests to reproduce his work of art, 
but let's just say it's the nicest thing a stranger's ever sent me.  
(And yes, that includes Tigermilk - gasp!)

Interesting news last:  My brother is one of the head librarians at the 
CSU Fresno Music Library (one of the largest music collections in 
California - hoo-ha), and the library just got a big, fat grant to go 
and buy new CDs.  The best part is that I gave him a list of my 
essential picks for his shopping list, and he's going to buy them.  So 
now, thanks to me, "If You're Feeling Sinister" will get its own catalog 
number and place on a shelf in the library.  (Also included on the list 
of library-worthy material were Jeff Buckley and "Louder Than Bombs" by 
the Smiths.)

Lots of love,
Miss Erin
