Sinister: Now she is a popstar, with her own TV show

[Mark Casarotto]

Mmm Skyscraper took my name in vain, or rather took
Talulah Gosh's name in vain. I couldn't actually
figure out if it was a diss or not, but, y'know, being
(affectedly) twee is just as bad as being a fake
ANYTHING. If B&S make you want to commit fakery, then
you're not listening to the same band (to coin a much
loved inkie phrase).

Bit anyway, Talulah Gosh? Apart from the name, they
ain't twee. The eponymous single (best song of the
80s?) kicks so much arse, but more to the point, it's
ANTI-TWEE. The Walter Mitty-esque protagonist is
pitied but not tolerated in her little fantasy world.
Maybe I feel that B&S, by and large, have a similar
attitude.

So, I'm drinking campari and watching football.
Renaissance man or what? I've also been lamenting the
void that is #sinister in the summer months. I hope
all you ace posters are going to be back patronising
our little chatroom when summer's over.

"Patronising". A word I always feel is close to my
heart.

Toodle pip,
Mark xxx
