Sinister: Country
by John Bleasdale 14 Mar '98

14 Mar '98

<< 2. Could someone reccomend some really sad and slow country? >> Assuming I've interpreted your idea of "country" as music and not land-mass correctly, you may want to try Lambchop, Palace, Silver Jews, Vic Chesnutt and/or Smog which are the closest interesting music gets to being country (in my opinionated opinion).

Oh, I can second the vote on "A Prayer For Owen Meany! " It is a wonderful wonderful book -- with that magical shimmer... Another couple of books I liked a lot recently were "The Book of Ruth" by Jane Hamilton. Can be very brutal and heartbreaking sometimes, but beautifully written. "The Rapture of Canaan" by Sheri Reynolds was also really good. Yeah, now I think, these are pretty B&S... kind of moments ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

From: TonyK <college(a)aliasrecords.com>, on 3/13/98 3:23 PM: One of the best books I've ever read has to be A Prayer for Owen Meaney by John Irving. For some reason it strikes me as very Belle&Sebastian, there is a certain magic to it and a poetry that is enough to bring one to tears on occasion. It's a bit longish but well worth it. For something a might more disturbing (and consequently less B&S) try Geek Love by Katherine Dunne. Very strange story but a good read nonetheless. I have to say Geek Love is one of my favorite books of all time! I would also recommend The Wasp Factory by Ian Banks or Perfume by Patrick Suskind for those who like strange.

In a message dated 3/13/98 6:18:22PM, you write: << belle and sebastian. the chat, what a fucking disqappointment. >> I'm afraid I can only agree with just about everything Sarah said. The IRC set-up is dysfunctional and the transcript is ludicrous. I took part in the aol conference chat with Kevin Shields and that worked wonderfully. hey-ho.

From: Faker <bullis(a)avana.net>, on 3/13/98 2:33 PM: My bold and stupid claim that I was the only person in the world on both the B&S and Afghan Whigs mailing lists has been refuted by two people. I am mortified - what kind of freak listens to both these bands? well on the chat yesterday someone from Belle and Sebastian did say they were a SLAYER fan and that they hated Nick Drake.......hmmm wonder who that could of been?
