Sinister: The Haughtiness of the Mediocre Rocker

Is it just my tastes, or has the recording industry hatched a massive plot 
to relieve us all of our wallets this month? I'm not just talking about the 
50 track Ultimate Doo Wop collection due out today either. If you're none 
too happy about the marketing of Legal Man, check out Clientele, managing to 
recycle tracks off of TWO previous singles for their scrumptious e.p.!
Despite my fondness for the band, I wondered if they qualified as fey (even 
before it was used to describe B&S), but I was suprised to find that the 
Dictionary thinks it's
1) Scottish for DOOMED; marked by a foreboding of death or calamity
2) able to see into the future, and only
3) a) precious b)unconventional or campy
so once again, the English language has managed to completely confound me.
I don't think it's been mentioned on the list, but Clientele will be playing 
Saturday at the Fez in NYC
