Sinister: While My Furry Banjo Gently Weeps

[Peter Miller]

What's with all this current affairs talk on the list? I haven't been
so well informed since I stopped watching John Craven's Newsround.

Speaking of news, THAI NEWS: Peter Withe's boys have an intersting
group in the World Cup qualifiers. They face fellow jungle dwellers
Sri Lanka, kebab inventors Lebanon and Pakistan, run like a madam's
brothel by our old friend General. How *do* madams run brothels? With
a rodd of iron?

I've been looking through my vast fanzine library, fifteen hundred
Chickfactors, one The Horn, a bag of goodies from Da Dook. All very
nice. But there's a gap where Trousercuts 3 should be. I feel like
J.R. Hartley. Where is Trousers? If you ask me, he spends all day
mooning over his special friend. I notice he hasn't been generating
many column inches lately either.

Pete Townshend of the 70s WHO has been generating lots of column
inches. Apparently you can get him to write a song about you, based on
some kind of 70s computer output thing. Obviously it's no good getting
him to write one about Sister Disco, because he already has, the
legendary "Sister Disco". Our sworn enemies on the Indie Pop list got
one written about them by Momus, so perhaps we should get one for the
whole list done by Pete Townshend. It'll cost loads of money, but just
imagine the look on their faces when we get one written by a bonafide
rock legend and they have to make do with one by indie underachiever
Maurice Mus.

Matthew Fletcher is credited in the acknowledgements section of The
Oxford Dictionary of New Words. How did he wangle that? It laso
features anorak pop, anoraky, anorakish and anoraknophobia.
