Sinister: Who are The Strokes?

[Sam Walton]

Hello there Sinister.

The week has been dull, but I feel obliged to post, since my name has 
cropped up twice.

Mummy I've Grazed My Knee called me a Stud Muffin. I can't deny this enough 
- I merely have **friends** who are **girls**. Perhaps R. Fruitloop's 
analysis of me being followed around by "rats with boobies" is closer to the 
truth. Then again, being a Stud Muffin isn't exactly a bad thing, is it?

On Friday night I deejayed at an Indie night, accompanied by various 
nefarious members of the York Sinister Massive. It was fun, and capped off 
my a conversation that I had with one blissfully ignorant punter:

HER: Play something I know - this is shit.
ME: That's mighty open-minded off you. Okay then, what are you after?
HER: Ash?
ME: We just played Kung-Fu. What else are you into?
HER: Muse?
ME: Sorry, they're shit. None of us have any of their records. How about 
some Kenickie or something like that?
HER: I've never heard of them. Have you got any Limp Bizkit?
ME: No.
HER: Play something I know.
ME: Okay then, we'll be playing some Strokes later. How about that?
HER: Who are The Strokes?

I thought I'd never hear that sentence spoken at an indie night. Ah well - 
blissful ignorance. Perhaps she'll be the best to gauge how good they are, 
because she's obviously been living under a large rock for the last year, 
totally oblivious to the hype.

Anyway, that was all. The message for this post is: Asm is not a Stud 
Muffin. He might be, but generally he's not.

love

P.S. Graham Henderson asked if there were York people on the list. There's a 
veritable Massive, Graham, operating under the moniker, "York Sinister 
Masssive" (YSM), consisting of at least six of us, and a fine Massive it is 
too.
