Sinister: You don't have to be cool to rule my world

Sorry, I know I've just posted, but I have to reply to this.

It was me, but that wasn't what I meant at all! Please believe me, cos I
hate musical show-offs too and I'm the last person who would be in a
position to show off - I was still listening to Take That when I was about
fifteen and most of the music I like now I was lucky enough to be played by
my ex-boyfriend or my friends so I certainly can't be superior in any way.

When I said that, I was asking about the tape tree, and the point I was
making was that there's some great music that I might have heard that most
of you haven't (like a Dylan bootleg my dad played me), and probably 1200
great songs that various other Sinisterines love that I've never heard, and
that it would be great if there was a way of hearing each other's favourite
songs, not so I can show off but because, as you say, "music is music. It's
nice, it's for the ears".

Actually, now that I'm on the subject, would anyone be interested in
joining a tape tree? The current one is already running. It's just where
everybody makes a mix tape and sends it to the person below them on a list,
and then every few weeks everyone sends that tape on, and so on. If
anyone's interested please email me. And you certainly don't have to be
cool or anything!
