Sinister: You never quite learned the song.

[weejay]

	Hey sinisterines, you all seem to have gone quiet of late... 
I hope there's not some evil robot from the future tracking down and 
systematically killing us all from honey's membership list. Anyway, 
I'm here to tell you all about the thing that was on TV over here last 
night called 'Shooting The Past' - and I know this probably isn't the 
place to go on about some TV programme, but it was the best 
thing on since the singing detective, and that was 15 years ago. I 
could be exaggerating but I don't think so... Anyway, superficially it 
was about the closure of a photo library (B&S points there) but 
underneath, well... Let's just say that when it finished I swore to 
anyone listening (i.e. nobody but that's not the point) that I would 
rather die tomorrow than waste my life in the pursuit of money. And 
I sat down and wrote more than I've done in the last month. I really 
reccomend it. Except half of you can't see it. Humph. In the less 
real world my new guestbook fucked up big time and had to be 
reset, so if you wrote anything, *sorry* and please go back again. 
Plus today I finished putting up the first issue of my tawdry zine so 
if you want to see that... you'd better be a bit of a Pulp enthusiast. 
	Some people were talking about the incredible string 
band... excellent stuff. Especially that song about the magic 
hedgehog that goes "you learnt all the words / and you followed the 
tune / but you never quite learned the song she sung" which is just 
beautiful. I think that's on the 'Thousand spirits or the layers of the 
onion' album with the one about the happy cloud. I like the stuff up 
until they gave up drugs and joined the scientologists. Apparently 
one of them is now the mayoress of aberystwyth. Ah, you're better 
asking my dad about them. 
	Hello to all the newcomers too - especially one who hasn't 
announced her presence... Feel free to in your own time.... 
	I have a stupid urge to listen to 'Fantastique No.5' by 
Plastic Fantastic, but I left it at HOME home which is more than 
just annoying. Ah well, I think I'll retire to my flat and eat a tin of 
strawberries. Have fun y'all.
