Sinister: Mike Love, Not War

Hello. I'm new to this list and have decided that because my first message
is such a special occasion, I'll make it the first Sinister message with an
"Re: Re:" in the title. At least, it'll be the first since I've been reading
it, and that's what counts isn't it?

Stuart Murdoch makes films for the fetish channel?? I've suspected it for a
while actually, ever since they started showing those footwank features
filmed in that church hall. "Judy and the Dream of Horses" was just going
too far though - put me right off my dinner. Am I allowed to say footwank? I
suspect that I probably am.

Even though Gifted was a top notch ace song, I started to wonder whether
V-Twin were actually any cop when I saw them at the Bowlie, and the latest
single would have confirmed my suspicions that they were A Bit Crap, had I
bothered listening to it. Unfortunately I haven't, so I'll have to take your
word for it. The singer did have a Scott Walker t-shirt on though, which
reminds me : forget the Beach Boys and the Beatles. The Walker Brothers were
tons better; well at least if you forget all that crap stuff they did. Land
of 1000 Dances? Pile of bloody arse more like.

How about "The singer had a Scott Walker t-shirt on at the Bowlie". Will
that do? You can keep the record, mind.

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I've found a way to get really long
messages, like most of you lot write and NOT ACTUALLY WRITE MUCH. This is
achieved via the exciting new technique of QUOTING people. It is a technique
that I strongly encourage because it promotes CONVERSATION. And that can
only be a good thing, can't it? Unless you've got nothing to say. Oh dear.

Anyway, hello to fountainhead and Arantxa. Yes I am following you.
