Sinister: funny instruments
by jon g. 01 Feb '98

Has anyone seen the new Select (it came out yesterday). In the relics section, there are all retro keyboards and things - there is a stylophone like sarah plays in 'Mayfly' and a melodica like Isobel plays in 'Tigermilk (?)' Sadly, there is no mention of the blow up keyboard thing that Sarah plays in 'Lazy Line Painter Jane'. jon g. jon.g(a)btinternet.com - http://www.btinternet.com/~jon.g/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: RE: Talking songs etc.

On the subject of songs with talking over, would Murray Lachlan Young count? I think he is well funny, but I could imagine some people could hate him. Shall I change my middle name to Sebastian Tjinder? That would be fun. jon g. jon.g(a)btinternet.com Visit my site of great meaning @ http://www.btinternet.com/~jon.g/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: random stuff

first off, thanks for the suggestion of listening to nick drake. my friend loaned me his album, and i really, truly deeply fell in love. and of course, though the music isn't the same, "lazy line painter jane" seems to bear some sort of reference to "hazy jane". also, _don't_look_back, the documentary about bob dylan is showing at the film forum in new york. is it worth seeing for someone who isn't terribly interested in him as a singer? um, i have had belle and sebastian dreams. i have a theory that those of us who really pay attention to the list, especially those who frequent the chatroom (which you should all do by the way) think of the band, almost by default, so often during the day, that it invades our dreams at night. one dream had me getting a belle and sebastian calender as a promo item, each band member was featured a different month (this was before i'd even seen pictures of the band memebers, so you can imagine the accuracy). another was about searching for tigermilk, and finally finding it in a store for an exhorbitant price. i can't remember whether i bought it, it was just about the choice. sad that the quest for tigermilk is invading my dreams now. um, i don't know if i should be writing at night. i try to make my posts somewhat pertinent, but i'd like to encourage all of you who only want b&s info to delete my posts in the future, cause i plan on going for the silly and entirely irrelevant info in the future. oh, to dream the impossible dream. xox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
