Sinister: beyond good and evil

[Ian Moore]

I was struck by Marisa Stroud's post about there being a secret 
Sinister in-crowd. I'm not one of the Sinister Illuminati, but I was 
hanging out with Stuart the other day, and he was playing me a rough 
cut of the album they are planning to release in early 2006. "We're 
moving in an increasingly  Drum and Bass direction", he was saying, but 
the tracks  sounded a bit more Jungle to me. I'm not sure what the 
Tigermilk kids will make of it, but Stuart says he doesn't care.

I also was hanging out at the Glastonbury Festival. Because I fear the 
yellowface I was late to the meetup on Thursday, and didn't meet any 
Sinister types there bar those travelling as part of the ILX party. On 
Friday morning I hid from the thunder in my tent, and thanked Tobit for 
the wisdom to not camp at the bottom of hills beside toilets.

My favourite acts at the festival were probably M.I.A. and Billy Bragg. 
And Goldie Looking Chain. I think there should be GLC/B&S joint record 
sometime.

I'm listening to CDs I'm thinking of getting rid of. Thus far The Tyde 
and Miranda Sex Garden are down for relegation, while Moonshake are 
staying... for now. Where did I get all these records?

I've also been reading the Simon Reynolds post-punk book, "Rip It Up 
And Start Again". It is very interesting, and I foresee that I will be 
listening to much in the way of angular, anti-rockist music in the 
immediate future.

Oh, is that the time? I'd better get myself down to the chapel, they're 
waiting for their sermon.

rock!
