Sinister: TIIIIIIGGGGGEEEEEERRRRMMMMMIIILLLKKK!!!!!

[igh1]

Hello one and all . . .

Ah, what a great weekend.  First of all let me say thank 
you to all those kind and lovely souls who wrote back to me 
about the price of Tigermilk - there were just too many of 
you for me to reply individually, so sorry, but here's a 
big fat THANKS.  I don't want to gloat (well, not too much 
anyway - my housemates are sick of me screaming 
TIIIIGGGEEEERRMMMIIIILLLLKKKKK!!!! at the top of my voice, 
so I'll only do it once here, I promise (although I s'pose 
that could count as twice, but nevermind :-))).  Anyways, 
on Saturday I managed to buy the most unbelivably mint 
condition copy of Tigermilk I've ever seen (although it is 
the only one I've seen) (oh dear, I must have caught 
bracketitis off a fellow Sinisterine :-)).

Indeed, I have the copy of Select about which 
you're talking (the one with Blur and the Tigermilk review, 
I think) pondered this myself on many occasions, and have 
now come to the conclusion that it was in fact an advert 
for the whole album . . . unless someone who actually knows 
one way or the other would like to set the record 
straight???!!!

Non B&S bit:

Ah, how much I hate those 
jumpy-up-and-down-moshpit-y-people.  Last night this really 
crap band played our uni, and a load of physic geeks (no 
offence anyone out there who does physics, but, hey, if you 
saw this lot, you'd call 'em geeks too :-)) jumped up and 
down, making the whole night worse cos they trod on my 
feet and spilt my beer all over me . . .  At least I got to 
laugh heartily as the jumped up and down completely out of 
time, but that's not the point.  Now, I used to think this 
was an affliction only bands such as the Stereophonics 
suffered, so imagine my shock when I saw the Happy Mondays 
at T In The Park (expecting friendly Scottish crowds - got 
a bunch of rude arseholes, in general, although some 
B&S/Smiths songs were played on the speakers in between 
bands, and Ooberman were fantastic, but anyway . . .) when 
people moshed to . . . the Happy Mondays.  Oh yes.  They 
then proceeded to throw their sweaty arms around me and ask 
why I wasn't joining in!!!  Eventually, I managed to move 
to the side and DANCE, but RAAAA.  How can anyone mosh to 
the Happy Mondays.  Earlier on in the day, some freaky 
Placebo/Manics fan (two of my most hated groups in the 
whole world) had covered his face and hair in sun cream, 
resulting in making himself look like a right TWAT.  He 
then moshed with about four of his mates to Muse (who were 
pretty disappointing on the whole), crushing this poor wee 
lass into the mud, and just laughing.  Some kids then threw 
a liquid over them and started chuckling when the moshing 
twats acted like they thought everyone reckoned they were 
heroes . . . until they smelt what had been thrown over 
them.  Usually I am anti-throwing-of-piss, but on this one 
occasion I was stricken with mirth :-) 

Ok, I'd better go now, so byeeeeeee,

Ian.
