Sinister: Free jazz blender solo

[Sam Walton]

Hello Sinister.

Things always go a bit strange on The List around August, doncha think? For 
me, August always brings back memories of P*ter C*rter or the A*gel 
Bl*ckw*ell stirring things up, with regard to Sinister at least. Perhaps 
it's just the heat. Of course, it might not have been August at all - that's 
just how I remember it.

I must say that I'm very much enjoying Robin's previews of the new album. I 
have also heard a rumour that if you play Travelling Light backwards, you 
can clearly hear Stuart David saying "I smell of wee... I smell of wee". 
It's true, too, y'know; the rumour that is, not the statement. But look out 
for it - it's just after the free jazz blender solo in 17/8 time.

In maybe more substantiated album news, I found this, 
http://bigleaguers.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4928/, which looks suspiciously 
like the inspiration behind track seven. He's clearly a looker, too: 
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/photo?slug=1061781154.mets_dodgers_lad106&prov=ap. 
However, being the slight sports nerd that I am, I noticed that his batting 
stats documented 1690 career homers, which sounds pretty impressive for a 
catcher to me. I mean, I'd be happy with that, for sure. But can anyone 
who's more au fait with baseball averages help me out?

Anyway, lazing on a Sunday afternoon-ah is all very well, but it won't get 
the dinner cooked now, will it? No, it won't. How did the bank holiday 
picnic go, anyone?

love

Asm.x
