Sinister: Well she was just seventeen...

[FourJacksAndAJill]

Sinistars,

Someone asked about a song during a Simpsons episode (the chili pepper
one).  I think it's "Seventeen" by Janis Ian.  A nice song isn't it?
Almost B&S-like in its gentle folk sound but somewhat bittersweet
observation/reflection.  (There, I did it, married Simpsons discussion
with B&S!  Feel like I've tied a maraschino cherry stem with my tongue)
Not to be confused with "When I was seventeen, I drank some very good
beer..."

I hope people are making an effort to see Marine Research as they trudge
across this vast land of ours.  They put on a great show and are really
nice folks to boot.  They were awesome in Philly last Thursday...anybody
to share?  Apparently Cathy wasn't feeling all that well (they were going
to see a doctor but they had no time) but you didn't see her refuse to
play.  (Ouch!)  I kid, I kid.  I kid because I love.  Peter Momtchiloff is
an amazing guitarist btw.  Up there with Johnny Marr, Graham Coxon,
Maurice Deebank and of course whoever played guitar in the Monochrome Set
natch.  

Maybe I'm alone in thinking this but B&S are going to have a really tough
act to follow with _Tigermilk_ re-released this week.  Now instead of the
elite few sniffing "Eh it's not as good as _Tigermilk_", *everybody* is
going to sniff the same sentiment, and everyone will nod knowingly instead
of shrugging and saying "I wouldn't know, I haven't heard it yet..."  Man,
that was annoying for a while I must say.  You fuckers!!!  You know who
you are!:) Oh, there I go again.

About this Mick^3 being 35 business--maybe he has a verbal case of Werner
Syndrome?  You know what would take care of that, a good hot poultice.
(Showing my premature age there with that one)

Tiger what?
Tiger who?
(with apologies to Jay-Z)
