Sinister: Much time (and space?) in my mind

[Michael Cronshaw]

Halo peeps

Has anyone else thought of a conspiracy theory concerning Legal Man and its
artwork? To me it suggests that B&S are unhappy with Jeepster and all the
bureaucratic malarky that they impose on the band: long mixing times for the
records, love affair between sleeve artist and legal man (?), big
(unnecessary) expenditures on bank account, letter of contract extension
dated 1998 (not to be renewed?), Katrina looming over paperwork with
scissors in hand (having left Jeepster?). Is Stevie playing the part of
Jeepster's legal man, with THE LOVELY Bel and Maisons wielding gun, rope and
dagger behind him? Or is that just what they want us to think? Or is that
just what they want us to think that they think that we think that they
think that we think?

I particularly like the retro globe piggy bank, and the picture frame like
the ones we were forced to make at skool. But what does it all mean?!!!

I like to read too much into things, makes humdrum life more melodramatic.

Hopefully the artwork also suggests that Middle Distance will be the next
single, but I'm only saying that because I think it's definitely a 'single',
in that it's a catchy song which I got bored with after a few listens. I
recently acquired Lordy Antony and Pocketbook Angel, which I infinitely
prefer (esp the former) Pleeeeeeese let them be the B-sides.

And would it be GRAYT if Dick Flap appeared on another release, but with
singing (a la Century of Fake Elvises)?

P.S. I like Clinic's album I hope you do too.
