Sinister: sinister is law -- YOU ARE CRIME

[Rener]

hello all,

i've been listening to the Hives recently. they're
GRATE. in fact, they are my new favourite band (well,
not really, but it was too good a line to waste).
they're coming to dublin in may, and i will be there,
admiring their impeccable dress sense. i like bands
with a sense of humour ... but not joke bands, which
are completely different and somewhat annoying.

as usual i've left it too long between postings and
all the mails i'd intended to say something about are
too old. gah. i have read every mail, though, and
basically yer all fab. just one or two things that i
can squeeze in (missus) before i go home for my tea:

stewie louie ratatouille's mention of Singles
Awareness Day and Commodify Your Love-Life Day made me
laugh -- I also am in full support of open hostility
to manufactured holidays. personally i'm looking
forward to Patronise Anyone With A Set Of Ovaries Day
... oh wait, that was last friday wasn't it?

i enjoyed robster's photos, stacey dahling's too, and
liz's. brighton looked bluddy cold.

welcome to oscar (nice dramatic intro to the world of
B&S there!), and gudmundur too. and anyone else who's
new.

astrid is very lucky indeed to have snogged all of the
strokes. do they appear black and white in real life
as well? i suspect they do.

hannah reminded me of how fab Underworld are. their
first album (with darren emerson, not that
scary-looking mid-80s one) is still my favourite
post-club chilling-out album. mmmm skyscraper ...

i've just read sophia katrina's mail about australia's
sins. i saw a bit of a program recently about
aborigine children who were taken from their parents
and reared in horrible-sounding orphanages. the
program tracked down some of the children, now adults
whose lives have somehow never worked out and who have
never got over the trauma of being (often brutally)
taken away from their parents for no other reason than
that they were aborigines. as the camera followed
them, recorded their conversations, there was such a
sense of lost potential and lives wrecked beyond
repair, which i found terribly sad.

ken and carsmile mentioned horse racing, which reminds
me of my night out at greyhound racing last week with
my workmates. in the first race there was a dog called
- wait for it - Sebastian's Earl! ah hah, i thought,
this must be lucky. so i put two euros on him to win
.... and he came last, the pathetic pooch. bah. don't
go gambling, my friends, it is a mug's game.

i'll try to write more next time ... begob, here's me
bus!
