Sinister: My claim for a Sinister trainspotter award

[alistair fitchett]

Being pedantic, one could not in all honesty follow the rules and it still remain an ‘all time best-of’, don’t you think? However, it’s rather a charming idea and not being able to ever escape the appeal of making a mix, here is my eleven song playlist. I’ve even sifted it so that it’s not strictly chronological. I think it plays through rather marvellously. You may choose to disagree. That is your prerogative. But you would, of course, be wrong.

The State I Am In
Another Sunny Day
Like Dylan In The Movies
Sukie In The Graveyard
Enter Sylvia Plath
I Want The World To Stop
Piazza, New York Catcher
I Don’t Love Anyone
Simple Things
If You Find Yourself Caught In Love
Judy and the Dream of Horses

Who else is going to play this diverting little game?
