Sinister: That Matador comp thing

[Brian Pennington (Mick McMick)]

Ahhh....
	In response to someone who asked about that Matador 3cd comp thing, and
I thought I'd jump over to their homepage and see if they had the info
there. Surprisingly it was right in the front of the 'news' section:

	So note you, absolutely no B&S songs. I for one am thankful that I
don't have to sift through a bunch of Solex and Guided By Voices just to
hear an alternate version of a B&S song (and I'm sure I'd buy it if it
had one, too).
	Hm, you know you're in a rough patch when the biggest bit of B&S news
is that they aren't on a compilation. Fascinating. In other news the 'Is
Johnny Marr joining Oasis?' thread seems indeed not indigenous to our
list, or even to related lists, such as the Oasis list. In fact a brief
discussion has already begun on the Factory list. Apparently there is
something cited which said he actually is joining, not like what I'd
previously read, that he was thinking about it, and then that he was
never actually thinking about it, although it was thought otherwise. If
you're wondering at the connection, recall that J'en ai marre was in
Electronic w/Bernard Sumner, and that they were initially on Factory.
Incidentally, I thought Electronic's new album is absolute crap. I hope
the new New Order album is better...
	Hm...it's my last day at work. I'm going to be relieved to go back to
the student life. The languid days of having lots of stress about doing
small amounts of things, but spending most of your time doing other
things. For me that mostly means working at my radio station, watching
Anime, playing video games, or spending lots of time on the web.
	Summer is coming to a close, and I for one am ever so glad. Not that
this summer hasn't had its high points, but I'm glad that Fall is about
to begin, because summer's subtitle should be 'the sweaty, sticky
season' and Fall's should be 'the pleasant cool breeze and jackets
season.'
	Since we're mostly discussing other things and since I've already
posted some 'genuine' B&S content, I would like you all to note that I
finally found the new Brian album, and it is fiendishly good. Quite
dancey, unlike the first, but as I said excellent. Yours truly will also
be looking forward greatly to next week's release of a brand new
Trembling Blue Stars 7". Now if I can just get ahold of that Birdie
single...

	Hm, I suppose since it's my last day at work I'll append a genuine
signature:
