Sinister: helpless sorrow

I'm in shock. Among other things. I have more emotions rushing through my 
head than at any other time I can remember - hate, pity, intense sorrow, 
anger, impotence, fear, ignorance, revulsion, disturbance, more and more.

I was in Camden when the news broke. There was a tramp staggering about 
shouting "THE END IS NIGH! THE PENTAGON'S BEEN DONE". And he might be right. 
We don't know. What I do know is that suddenly everything seems 
inappropriate. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is on telly.

The news image of people waving from the upper stories of the building is 
the most harrowing if you ask me.

I am safe in assuming that there will be quite a few people on Sinister with 
Godspeed You Black Emperor's EP, Slow Riot For A New Zero Kanada. The second 
track on that record is horribly poignant.

I'll echo the thoughts of the Duke: I'm not religious in the least, but my 
most heart-felt "prayers" go out to everybody in NYC, Washington DC and 
Pensylvania. Good to hear that most of you are okay. But could Mr Eric The 
Half A Bee please show his face?

love,

S.x
