Sinister: Ba ba ba ba baaa. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaa. *

[David Howie]

* Lyrics to Legal Man.


Hello,

God, I've posted to this list about a sum total of 2 times.  First time 
round, no-one noticed apart from ("all I care about is…") Velocity Girl 
("two-and-a-half minutes of jangly guitar").  Thanks Vel, I'd join the 
spinisterines were it not for the fact that I have, err, too many moving 
parts.  Oh and, I'm not single - siggghhhh.

I suppose I should stick to the archetypal boring format.  I might as well 
say hello to that ever so sinister Alan Burns, the wonderful Jennifer 
Hodgson, and the sublime Kathryn Dutton.  Na, I guess I won't since that is 
list abuse.

Sinister (which everyone knows is etymologically linked to the Meek for 
"peddles smut and bludgeons society with the twee manifesto") is where I'd 
like to live.  I still don't know the link for the Sinister Village.  Can 
someone send me it, please?

Mandatory smut content: my unlucky girlfriend is coming up on the 15th of 
June to the sunny climes of Ayrshire.  Great F!U!N.  "Smut content?!" 
Kathryn queries.  Err, well B&S content then - since we'll probably spend 
the sojourn soundtracked by FISHYCLAP.

No. 15 in the charts for Legal Man.  Hmm, someone said "change is good; 
progression is good".  Change that to "change for the better is good; 
retrogression is bad".  Retro Retro Retro.  Hmmm, I still love the track - 
though it does feel like Stevie's bastard child.  It's a more Stevie 
oriented single (or at least it feels that way.)  With Struan lurking ('cos 
that's what he does, lurks) in the shadows.  I reckon Struan should start a 
solo side-project 'cos, as, that lovely Mr Dastoor once said, "it's his 
songs we fell in love with."  To be honest, the other band members' songs 
always seem rather flaccid when placed next to Struan's "wondertrax" (© Nick 
Dastoor).

That's another point.  Mr Dastoor, would you be so kind as to put up a list 
of all the authors of B&S' songs onto Sinister?  I mean the obtuse 
personages never attribute the song to anyone or the other.  It'd be nice to 
know who pens the songs - I don't even know why I'm asking you.  You just 
seem knowledgeable, I guess.  Anyone who has the knowledge I desire, please 
share it.

Right, I'll retreat back into the shadows.

L.o.v.e.

David.


"In my head, I'm kissing her all ways,
In my heart, I'm missing her always." (Frail Gail, Madge Bishop's 
Shellsuit.)
