Sinister: Where art defines our lives?

[Apps Ben (Mr B)]

Good day friends,

I am very happy to say that my world is becoming sinisterer(?) daily! A year
or so ago B&S, their songs and the world therein was confined to the space
between my ears and my stereo. Now it's tangible, and I've met real people
who feel the same about them, it's more than just grate, it's bloody
brilliant!! And now I'm jetting off to L.A. to visit the fantastical Rachel
Fruitloop for New Year and feel like "the luckiest guy in the world (tm)" I
just wanted to tell everyone and thank you all, right enough of the gushy
stuff.

So I have been lucky enough to listen to all the new songs on the
forthcoming EP, and here are the results of the Appsian judges:

I'm Waking Up to Us
I really approve of Struan's affected tone here. Sounds like there's a lump
in his throat and he's gonna cry at any moment. Can anyone else hear a bit
of one of the songs from 'war of the worlds' in it? Also give it a week or
so and you too will be walking down the street singing "chapter is, chapter
is, chapter is clo-osed" in ever higher pitches.
9/10 A real heartwrenching classic

I love my Car
Please don't stone me, but this is probably one of my least favourite B&S
songs to date. I didn't like it live and I did'ne like it now. Maybe I'm
just a miserable sod and can't appreciate anything remotely jolly. Retrieves
some integrity with the line "the day will come soon when I look in your
eyes, but I won't see you"
6/10 Better than 'Beyond the Sunrise'

Marx and Engels
Immediately appeals to the socialist in me, even before I've heard it.
Starts with the word "misery", this is more like it!
Scousers, Launderettes, magic!
8 and 3 quarters/10 

t'ra then and enjoy your weekends

P.S. Kelly - how d'you get on with that interveiw?
