Sinister: Have some respect

[Matthew Henderson]

Matt here, along with Ally Cook, Stacey Shackford, and Michael Grant.

Ah, the fall comes along at a steady pace.  What does this mean?  
Abso-fucking-lutely nothing.  But what's more important, is that the world 
is spinning.  Yes, we are alive, and so it goes, how it is, and what a day 
that was.

Patrick Doyle has just entered the room.  Do you know him?

We were all just reminscing about the old days...I shagged Calamity Jane.  
Doris Day, not the ugly one.

Belle and Sebastian are on a break these days, or at least I think.  I saw 
them about 4 minutes walking time from my flat this summer.  I enjoyed it.  
I think it's time I see them again.  Properly.  I think I've missed all the 
touring though.

The funny thing about the last few months has been the invention of gamma 
rays.  When did this happen?  Suck on it, Hulk.

Here's ALLY!

Hello Sinister!
You know, a while ago I spent a charming saturday night at home with a 
bottle of the soft stuff, engaged in simple self satisfaction. Yes, I was 
re-reading some of mine, and possibly some of your, old posts to the family 
circle. Sometimes I was really, you know, OTM, as the nu-vernacular goes. 
Sometimes, on other hands, things were dark and dreadful. What struck me 
most - I simply didn't WRITE as much as I'd thought I'd written. That's 
almost disappointing.

Should I talk about Belle & Sebastian? OK. Their new video is awful. But 
that's OK. I've stolen all their stuff! Haha! No, it's true. I won't 
apologise.

This book I'm not still writing. It is now called 'Visiting The Desert 
Girls'. Since, oh, this morning. watch out for it. Cactus skin is the topic 
du jour.

My sister has a Justin t-shirt and a beautiful new flat. I am quite the 
jealous sibling. All I have is this Brother Beyond single. 'Be My Twin'. 
1989. Before I'd ever even heard of you. Im passing on the baton, here.

STACEY reporting for duty...

Well, to be accurate I'm no longer reporting, as I've QUIT MY HORRID JOB and 
moved back to this lovely city. Only now it's a bit different, as I spend 
most of my time perched high atop a hill, staring out the window at the 
hospital opposite, wondering if anyone nearby is dying, and what ever 
happened to the good ole days of sinister get togethers and dance nights and 
pub quizzes. Which is why I kidnapped Ally for the day and made him listen 
to me bitch about how I hate everyone. Lucky, lucky boy!
As for B&S... er... I have nothing relevant to say.
I'm thinking of introducing a Glasgow bingo expedition. Any takers?
Matt's flat is like THE place to be these days. The sinister Seinfeld crew 
uses it as a base, so if you ever need an instant posse to accompany you 
anywhere, it should be your first stop. You will undoubtedly find 
Michael/Kramer playing FIFA, Patrick/George sipping tea, and Nal/Elaine 
glaring at Matt/Jerry postulating on the superiority of Styx. Was it like 
this when I lived here? Probably. I was just too busy holed in my room 
playing Spider Solitaire to notice. Hmmm. Not much has changed, then.
I have a hankering for chips and cheese.
Time then for someone else...

Look, it's MICHAEL!

(crowd cheers)
(random mumblings)

hellooo everybody! wow! sinister! what's that all about? i was hoping to add 
some sort of emotionally resonant denouement to this rambling multi-post, so 
that you'd all like me. however, having read over the first three 
installments of this email, there does seem to be no coherent narritive. so 
instead i shall follow their lead and rant uncontrollably about nothing in 
particular.

i have been compared to both kramer and cliff claven in the past week. 
disturbing.

patrick doyle has the niftiest wardrobe in all the world. and some snazzy 
shoes.

right, i'm drinking vodka and watching family guy. and this is boring me. go 
away. GO AWAY!!

cheerio, michael.xx

Still, STILL doing it for the kids. Be fucking grateful. Have some respect. 
One of you is a homosecular. God is watching. The pervert.

See you in your graves.

Immense love,
Matthew, Alasdair, Stacey, Michael, (Patrick (sends no love)). The rest. xx

P.S. Sorry about The Lord Of The Rings.
