Sinister: acronyms ago go

[Tjonrr at xxx.com]

so my computer was broke and when it got fixed and i read the big stack of
sinister gubbins that had built up (i have no job, or life) you were all
talking about all my favourite bands. curses! my plan to impress you all with
my vastly superior knowledge foiled again. like hefner frexample. i know i
misquoted them a while ago but what i like about them is the whole package,
like B+S not just great songs but great artwork and sleevenotes too. part from
the fact darren hayman couldnt write a bad song if he tried. have you heard
the one with the boy murdoch on it? lovely...erm, whatever the organ equivlent
of fretwork is. and if you like the delgados NBT cover you should try their
cover of a very cellular song, cause i know you all like the ISB.
by the way, bill bryson sucks satans big fat cock. and fierce panda releasing
the first three colours red single is a misdemeanor compared with the heinous
crime of releasing the first embrace single. for this they will burn.
mogwai! i regularly hyperventilate along to this band. aidan moffat of the
strap is on two songs, the one that was mentioned, plus now youre taken, off
the 4 satin ep. this is real 3am stuff like most of their songs. the one to
annoy your parents though is with portfolio, the brendan o'hare track, written
in response to the nme describing him as the bands gibbon without portfolio.
its the one on young team which starts off all tinkly but then goes VROOM!
VROOM! from one speaker to another. more white noise vicar? did you know
brendan o'hare was kicked out of mogwai for talking during an arab strap gig?
quite right too, in my opinion.
i noticed people have been talking about douglas coupland again. he takes
turns with bill bryson if you ask me. you want to read a real book, try the
shoe by gordon legge. this could be my autobiography, but 10/15 years earlier.
sensitive, stuck in a small town, no job (too shy), no prospects, not much
money for records, trying to do the right thing, life ends up revolving around
john peel, thats me. most of the lead characters thoughts and feelings were
stuff i had thought and felt myself. i suppose youd have to identify with it
in this way to properly appreciate it, but i recommend it nonetheless. another
thing id recommend is the lp weve got rhymes for times like these by khaya.
they were the ones did that single a couple of years ago that went do you
remember that leonard cohen song suzanne . the albums nothing like that but it
contains the immortal couplet   i ate too many cigarettes/ she smoked too much
chocolate   as the reason for a break up.
B+S content? well when my sister had her walls stripped before she put the new
paper up i wrote   do something pretty while you can   on the wall in gold
pen, y'know for future generations etc but later i was in a bad mood after
aberdeen and liverpool both crashed and burned in their respective cups so i
scrubbed it out and wrote   kill a nazi for jesus   instead.
well thats my story and im sticking to it. from tjohn
