		In the English Church such sinecures arise when the rector has no cure of souls nor resides in the parish, the work of the incumbent being performed by a vicar; such sinecure rectories were expressly granted by the patron; they were abolished by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Act 1840.
		Other ecclesiastical sinecures are certain cathedral dignities to which no spiritual function attached or incumbencies where by reason of ct~population and the like the parishioners have disappeared or the parish church has been allowed to decay.
		The British civil service and royal household were loaded with innumerable offices which by lapse of time had become sinecures and were only kept as the reward of political services or to secure voting power in parliament.

		Instead of striving to fit in, Sinecure eschews all the regular expectations of a modern "pop" release, instead vying for a more silly, nonsensical style.
		The song, which could or could not be symbolic of the circumstances surrounding Sinecure's release, is a hummable little ditty that really flaunts the lo-fi sound well.
		Altogether, Sinecure is an album that dares to mess with the intransigent pop norm.

	No Chick Trix Forum - WOTD: 2-2-05
		"Sinecure" comes from the Medieval Latin phrase "sine cura," which literally means "without cure." Not surprisingly, the earliest known use of "sinecure" referred to an ecclesiastical benefice without cure of souls—that is, a clerical office in which the job-holder did not have to tend to the spiritual care and instruction of church members.
		Such sinecures were virtually done away with by the end of the 19th century, but by then the word had acquired a broader sense referring to any paid position with few or no responsibilities.
		I always thought the oppisite of a sine curve was a cosine curve, I guess know I know it's a sinecure curve..

	Splendid Magazine reviews Don Campau and MJB: Sinecure
		Michael Bowman has been doing the lo-fi recording thing for a pretty long time (since 1989, to be exact).
		On Sinecure, the prolific home-taper, with collaborator Don Campau, has constructed a wistful, if sometimes inelegant psychedelic document, packing in a fistful of pop hooks while he's at it.
		According to Bowman's web site, the two crafted the record through the mail, sending each other parts of songs and letting the creative juices flow where they may. The results are scattered, surprisingly listenable and fairly clever.
