Sinister: Stone Lions, Paper Tigers

[David Moore]

Hi All,

The new Michael Shelley album, "Too Many Movies" has Chris & Stevie playing
on 5 tracks. I've been struggling to think up a really exciting review but
fear I can't avoid damning it with faint praise. Its OK, its nice, its an
alright indie album, unremarkable except for the fact that 2 memvers of
Belle & Sebastian play on it. I *do* like Baby's In A Bad Mood tonight,
though. As I said before.

Apparently Stevie & Chris appear on Astrid's "Play Dead" album, too. Maybe
I'll have better luck with that.


I see that the Fragrant Princess Honey has found the time to add some pretty
pictures to the Photo Pages recently. One is called Harem. However I can't
work out whether the guy in the picture is supposed to be the owner of said
seraglio or its guardian*.

There is also one of the The Pinefox: ummmm, pinch, sizzle!


RIBENA LOVING YOU TOO LONG

Big Stu:
Surely the problem with the likes of Ribena manufacturer Glaxo Wellcome is
not that they made Beagles smoke a load of fags 20 years ago or whatever it
was but what they are doing *now*: getting distraught & illiterate relatives
in Africa to sign consent forms so that they can test experimental drugs on
human patients, & refusing to allow the licensing of generic forms of their
patented medicines that could save the lives of hundreds of thousands of
AIDS sufferers.

Anyway, I am as hypocritical as the next person. I'd drink Ribena if I liked
it & I not only eat KitKats & Milky Bars but sell hundreds every week. My
only worry is when searching for "Ribena" in the Sinister archives produces
4 times as many results as a search for say, "Belle & Sebastian".


Props to Llllaura for the name check - I knew I could depend on you :)



Splat! wears white socks.
