Sinister: The Undergarments Hit the Fan

[Mick McMick <> Sandcastle Records]

Hello List,
	In case anyone is wondering where I've been (though I truly doubt
anyone is, humor me) Magnetic Megan has distracted me for a week, and
I'm only now catching up. In fact, if I owe you an e-mail, that is why,
and tonight I endeavour to remedy that situation. Hm, The Weather
Channel reports that we are close to being in flood conditions here.
Lovely. 
	So, the first two weeks of 1999 were glorious, and the third was
underwear. Really, hasn't this gone a little bit far? Please stop, or
start an underwear list, as I'm getting dizzy. Nextly, in reply...

	I dunno about "related" (or really what that would entail, exactly) but
I must say the faster session version of Sleep the Clock Around always
reminded me of Stereolab. Maybe that's why they slowed it down and added
bagpipes.

	Well, I for one always thought this was the evidence in support of the
fact that Stuart writes some songs in the perspective of females, or
other people. I think it's a perfectly good example.

	Maybe they're referring to "Electronic Renaissance"? Idunno about a
version, but it's certainly very dancey, in addition to being lovely.
	And before I leave, I finally got to hear a Hefner song, and was rather
disappointed. Maybe it was a bad example of their songs, I don't know,
but it sounded absolutely nothing like B&S, I will say. Something akin
to the Violent Femmes if you ask me. Or maybe no one was ever saying
they ever sounded like B&S, I can't recall...
	Okay, well I probably have more things to say, but I'm hungry and I
have class soon, so I'd best be off. Ta-ta
