Sinister: Bono saves the world again

[Jon Botterman]

Hello listees and listettes

I was looking through the new musical express' one hundred moments that
rocked or something and noticed that number twenty something as voted by
for people who supposedly have brains and can elect governments was "U2
and Ash get together and bring peace to Northern Ireland". I don't
remember that happening! Honestly, people actually spend their time
voting for that. Anyway, that enraged me and I had to share it. B+S got
in at number ninety one for winning a Brit award. Seems that if they'd
got together with Mogwai and teenage fanclub to fight the evil English
and bring peace to Scotland they might have got in the top thirty.

Thinking about it now I probably misread it. On another related subject
are many people going to All Tomorrow's Parties? If not you should, it's
great fun, you get your own chalet and last year I met Stuart Murdoch
who sold me a Sonic Youth T-shirt. This year seems dominated by post and
math rock. If that's your cup of sugary tea then you should go. If not
spend one hundred pounds on yourself in some other way. This is not an
advertisement.

I feel I should write shit loads like most other e-mails but I won't as
I normally stop reading at about this point.

Cheers a lot,

Jon.
