Sinister: kissing etc.

Hey Sinister People,

Are you all well? And dandy? I'm not too bad, cept it's a little cold. 

You know the picnic in Sheffield on Saturday? I was in Manchester on Saturday 
morning and I saw a 95 bus going to Simister. And my vision was a little 
skewed and I was a probably still a little bit drunk, and my shoes were on 
the wrong feet and all that kind of stuff, and for about three seconds, I 
really believed that 'Simister' read 'Sinister'. Everything kind of clicked 
into place and I imagined the bus as a clunky, puffy old Charlie's Bus, 
crawling through country lanes over to Sheffield, driven by a twinkly-eyed 
cheeky Pilsbury DoughBoy in flares and a cap, honking the horn, and the back 
seats full of kids licking apple butter off each others' fingers. Stopping 
off various bakers' on the route, before letting everyone pile off to roll 
about for a few hours before taking 'em back to Manchester. 

But then everything cleared, and all I saw was a dusty old bus dragging 
itself out to Simister.

Sheesh.

I had a cracking weekend though.

A Room For Romeo Brass is out on video next month. I've checked the archives 
and I know it's been mentioned on the list and I'm sorry to mention it again, 
but it really is fantastic. The use of B&S on the soundtrack is perfect, you 
get the feeling that Shane Meadows... um... gets it. Y'know, the sense of 
malevolence and of implicit violence and of things not being quite right that 
crops up in SM's lyrics. It's my favourite film this year, definitely.

I've got a funny, queasy feeling about B&S not doing anything for a year. 
When I first heard "Dirty Dream#2" live I misheard  "comedian" as "chameleon" 
and convinced myself it was about Stuart wishing he'd been in The Chameleons 
and stayed a perennially romantic underacheiver. I was sure it was code that 
something was wrong. I know I was wrong, but I've got that same, queasy 
feeling again.

Oh, and before I forget, on Wednesday 5th July 2000 at 19:38GMT Emily Bishop

And I thought "You've been nothing but that since Percy left, and even then 
you were the weak link..."

It's late and I have to be up early tomorrow. We've got a drummer now, and 
we're all meeting up in Crosshouse. I'm proud in a funny way, I bet there 
aren't many bands who conduct their business in the hospital cafeterias. 

So I'll hit the hay. Be sweet,

mouche
