Sinister: Sini-history

[Sam Walton]

Hello Sinister.

A piece of junk mail arrived in my inbox this morning, urging me to take a 
peek up some poor girl's skirt or something, and as I clicked delete, I 
noticed the date. It made me remember that this time last year, Sinister was 
going mental - I think there were about 70 posts in 24 hours. For those of 
you who've joined in the last year, and for those who want a memory 
freshner, have a sini-history lesson:

We had a minute's silence in the V-Shop Crouch End this afternoon. We were 
playinng "Amnesiac" by Radiohead over the store PA, the music came off and 
everything stopped. That was a long minute. "Pyramid Song" broke the 
silence, beautifully. It gave me a sense of perspective, that minute - what 
with recent stuff that's happened in my life. But there's not much more I 
can say.

This post is not all doom and despondancy though, for I have an amusing 
anecdote to relate to you all. Later on in the day, Fran Healy, from the 
popular rock'n'roll combo Travis, came into the shop to enquire about a 
certian PC game (we didn't have it). He asked me what was playing on the 
stereo. "Belle & Sebastian", I cheerily replied, thrusting the box to 
TWATTYBUS under his nose. "Jangly Scottish pop - you'd like it", I said with 
a smile, and he grinned past his beard and corduroy flat-cap and walked out.

Well it made me smile, anyway.


love
