Hi there all.

You may remember about a month ago, I posted asking people to send me their 
favourite three B&S songs, and I’d compile a Sinister chart as it were, 
pre-album and pre-single release. And successful it has been. I had about 
250 votes, which accounts for around one fifth of the list, and although 
there were those who just wrote to me to tell me that it was a stupid idea, 
the results are pretty interesting. When a song was placed first, it got 3 
points, placed second it got 2 points, and last it got 1 point. You get the 
idea. Well then, without further ado, I’ll open the little envelope to say 
what the list’s 10 favourite (and least favourite) songs are:

SAVE THESE FOR THE ENCORES, GUYS…
10. She’s Losing It 		         (36)
9.  We Rule The School 		         (41)
8.  Dirty Dream Number Two 	         (42)
7.  Sleep The Clock Around 	         (45)
6.  Like Dylan In The Movies 	         (46)
5.  Lazy Line Painter Jane 	         (54)
4.  My Wandering Days Are Over           (65)
3.  Slow Graffiti 		         (78)
2.  The State That I Am In 	         (91)
1.  Get Me Away From Here, I’m Dying     (138)

…AND LEAVE THESE OFF THE SETLIST
10. Mayfly                               (8)
9. I Don’t Love Anyone                   (7)
7=. Seymour Stein                        (6)
7=. A Space Boy Dream                    (6)
6. The Rollercoaster Ride                (5)
5. Electronic Renaissance                (4)
4. It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career (2)
3. You Made Me Forget My Dreams          (1)
1=. The Gate                             (0)
1=. Chickfactor                          (0)

Well there you go. Make of that what you will. The only really big thing is 
that GMAFHID is the list’s favourite song by FAR. But still interesting. 
Anyway, enjoy and discuss…

Love,

Sam.x
