Sinister: Introduction

[Simon Fallaha]

Hello everyone,

I've been waiting for two weeks to finally post my first message to this
list, so here goes...

As I wait to start the second year of an accounting course at uni, the
summer's just dragged on and on and on. Thankfully it hasn't rained recently
(like it seems to be doing where PF is), so there's been plenty of time to
go outdoors, but even so, I'll be almost glad when uni starts again in three
weeks' time. Even though I did (surprisingly) well in last year's exams, I
only got a job for a couple of weeks, and as for going away...well, the best
thing I got was a day trip in London. And all I did there was go round Soho,
see the theatres, eat at Pizza Hut (simple) and take a trip on the London
Eye! To be honest, I wish I could have stayed there for longer. Londonderry
(my home town) is dull. Hopefully the new concert hall will liven it up.
Also, there was a B & S concert in London which I unfortunately missed.

On the plus side, I've been listening to a lot more music. I'm probably not
as much into B & S as some of you are, but I'm getting there. If You're
Feeling Sinister's my favourite album - I thought Tigermilk was good, but
Sinister and The Boy With The Arab Strap are better. My favourite song at
the minute is probably Like Dylan In The Movies. Unfortunately I don't like
The Gentle Waves quite as much ... I tend to shut my ears every time I hear
Evensong.  My other favourite bands at the minute are The Divine Comedy and
Ash. Any big TDC fans on this list? If so, Promenade is definitely the best
album...I've just been listening to it there now. And I love singing all
these songs as well, especially TDC's. In fact, I love singing any good
song. So much so, that on the 3rd I finally joined the Londonderry Amateur
Operatic Society (LAOS). It's given me a chance to perform in the new
concert hall, as well as re-unite with all my old school friends. I went to
a rehearsal some five years ago, but never came back...until now.

Finally, notes to everyone. Jim (Gilmer), that was good advice of yours
about avoiding loneliness, but it's easier said than done. Jenni (sorry,
Cay) - you were right to see Josie and the Pussycats, I enjoyed it too
(unlike most American critics). In fact, I now have one of  the songs from
it (Three Small Words). Why not try Down To Earth? I saw East Is East for
the first time recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. I plan to get it on DVD.
I also saw Moulin Rouge recently - very good. (you've probably guessed I'm
really into films)Ken Chu - you are one funny guy. I especially liked the
final part of 'Loneliness of the middle distance runaway thread.'
Idleberry - eat as much chocolate as you like, I hear it's good for you (in
a way). Alasdair Cook - Tigermilk is really good, but as I said above there
are better B & S albums. And yes, that may have been the worst German team
ever, but you didn't expect 5-1, did you? Anything like that's really worth
celebrating. Amy Skelton - good to see another MFC fan here, I'll E-Mail you
again soon. Ben - I don't think I'll see Hedwig & the Angry Inch, even
though you say it's good.

Take care,

Psi
