Is this a wind up? Go on Suzannah, admit it.
Look if this is real, I should point out that this is exactly what most of the
list have been doing for the past year. I, for one, take sinister everywhere,
and play it to everyone I can find, which includes my mum, my younger cousins
(I'm an only child, but hey!, can't you tell?) friends, people in pubs and on
buses, and on occasion, my headmaster. (who thought it was rather good and
sounded like simon et garfunkel). 
I carpeted my actress friend's doorstep with twattybus (thats the lp, kids)
flyers, just so she'd buy it too.
I've heard fans complaining when other people 'steal' 'their' bands- but it is
usually the old fans who complain, not the new ones. I'll risk being the voice
of reason  by saying that most of us on the list would like to see B+S
successful, solvent, and remembered in 20 years time by more than just a bunch
of saddo record obsessives.
        But then i only listen to B+S so that I look pale and interesting. The
music's a load of lovey dovey crap.
anyway, sorry honey, that was a bit flamy. I just don't want the list to turn
into one of those insular, indie-shmindie wankfests, like others I won't name.
off to the sea side!
