Sinister: did wire do the original 'i am superman'?
by Matthew Henderson 30 Dec '01

30 Dec '01

A man in his mid-50's came into the record shop in which I am employed. He looked around a bit, then asked "where is the new belle and sebsatian single?" My ears perked up and I scooted on over and showed him. Sometimes life can be grand. This was the highlight of my birthday. The lowlight (???) was finding that the men who tiled my floor and moved my records had cracked my original pressing of the Clash' "London Calling", but only the second LP. I was very saddened by this. As some of you may know, whether you want to or not, I was in Glasgow last week for the concert. I would like to say hello to everyone I met. Truly, you are all wonderful people. A special thanks to Dimitra, for being nice and meeting with me before anyone else did. I'm very shy, and she made it quite nice. It was a grand show, although I was far in the back. Also thanks to Honey and Dimitra for providing a ticket to the Belfast show. I stayed up all night (hi will and danny) and then hopped on a train with Rachel Sunnyset and Dimitra to Belfast. The ferry ride was very rough. I felt very sick. I didn't help that I was mere feet away from the band. And what did I say? In my chance of a lifetime to meet my favorite band in the world? A brief word to stevie about sega rally championship, which I am sure is rigged. I'm such a git. (is that the right word?) The belfast show was fantastic, and I believe better than glasgow, mostly because I was very close. Both wonderful shows though. I actually met a few sinisters there, but not more than a few. hi to those I met. I have some lovely pictures of the sinisters. I won't post them. But I have them. And I like them. Best washing up album? Weezer's self titled. The first one. So shoot me, I've been listening to it for years. -Matt _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A Bored Mind is not necessarily a good mind. Or, Lame-o Trade Stickers
by Rob Lorenson 30 Dec '01

30 Dec '01

Afternoon. It's a cloudy and gloomy day in Southern California. I am backing up my entire 10 GB hard drive onto CDs, which is probably going to take well into the wee hours. I have all these extra CD labels, so what am I doing? Making Belle And Sebastian Lame-o Trade Stickers (TM), THE LAMEST TRADE STICKERS YOU'LL EVER SEE! COLLECT THEM ALL! TRADE THEM WITH YOUR FRIENDS! STICK THEM ON GRANDMA! 1s OF USES! I don't know what I'm going to do with these. Maybe stick them somewhere. Maybe I'll send them to people. If you want one, tell me, and I'll send it to you. Maybe I'll see how long it takes until I get a lawsuit warning from Banchory or from the band. Note: Lame-o does not necessarily mean crappy. Well, maybe a little bit. OK, most of the time, lame-o means crappy. But, maybe not in this case. Well, back to burning CDs and making Lame-o Action Trade Stickers (TM).

Sinister: just a thought for astrid
by toadie291＠attbi.com 30 Dec '01

30 Dec '01

hi everyone. i would like to take this oppurtunity to wish you a toadie new year! i just read astrids post in which he said: Do you want to hear something really, and I mean *really* strange? I´m going to tell you anyway. Well, last nite (well, the night between yesterday and today) I was lying in my bed, listening to Ryan Adams and I thought "FUCK, I hate being alone and I *HATE* sleeping alone in my bed, cause it makes me feel even lonelier" and about ten second after that thought, I listened to what Ryan sang, and what do I hear? "But, tonight you´re sleeping alone Without him Tonight you´re sleeping alone Without him" And I went like "WHOA!" because of several reasons: a) I know for a fact that I hadn´t read those lyrics or heard that song ever before b) he only sang that line for the first time when I heard it, I´ve checked and he wasn´t even mentioning it before in that song c) Something like that had never happened to me before Isn´t it strange? I think it´s really weird. Anyway. this reminded me of the song as you are which goes: As You Are Everyday I wake up alone I'm not like all the other boys And ever since I was young I had no choice But it's OK to lead me on I admit it's not much fun To be led on by such a one As you are As you are As you are And ever since I woke up I felt the net Was lifting me out of the sea And even when I'm sinking I feel the need But it's OK to lead me on I must admit it's not much fun To be alone with such a one As you are As you are As you are And ever since a long time I felt the rain And there was no danger And no more strangers As you are aww, i also love the lil poem that pseuo-inspired that As you are so once was i remember this as time goes by as i am now soon you will be remember this and pray for me i "try" to keep that sentiment in mind as i meander through life. love to you all ~~stine...oh yeah..im not a boy! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: either way i´m dead.
by Astrid Wiezell 30 Dec '01

30 Dec '01

Hey Sinister, how are you all? Well, I haven´t posted for quite a while. I wrote a long, long, longer post some time ago, but then when I was about to send it, something went wrong and it all got erased, and since then I´ve felt too tired to write a new one. Christmas came, and then it left me with lots of fabolous present as eight CDs, a new chair for my room, two new gorgeous cd-racks, two t-shirts, three boks, a rhyming dictionary, and the cutest thing, a black candleholder with goldletters around it saying "Stuart", this was made by my really sweet kind-of-sister (dad´s girlfriend´s daughter, as I´ve explained LOTS of times before) and underneath it it said, aslo with goldletters "Made with love from Stuart Murdoch to Astrid Wiezell" which I found quite amusing. I gave her a Strokes-wallcalendar fro 2002, which was highly appreciated. Oh, I didn´t buy it, I made it. And then I bought Strokes-vinyl-stuff for her. Did I mention that her favourite band is the strokes? I´ve given up on that 13-yr-old now. Not because of what someone else thinks, but just because he seems like such a superficial snob. And I definetly don´t like superficial snobs, so when I realised that, my feelings went away quit quickly. Do you want to hear something really, and I mean *really* strange? I´m going to tell you anyway. Well, last nite (well, the night between yesterday and today) I was lying in my bed, listening to Ryan Adams and I thought "FUCK, I hate being alone and I *HATE* sleeping alone in my bed, cause it makes me feel even lonelier" and about ten second after that thought, I listened to what Ryan sang, and what do I hear? "But, tonight you´re sleeping alone Without him Tonight you´re sleeping alone Without him" And I went like "WHOA!" because of several reasons: a) I know for a fact that I hadn´t read those lyrics or heard that song ever before b) he only sang that line for the first time when I heard it, I´ve checked and he wasn´t even mentioning it before in that song c) Something like that had never happened to me before Isn´t it strange? I think it´s really weird. Anyway. A couple fo days ago I realised that I think I´ve become a more happier person, not always, but in general. Because I am so much confident with myself and all that. I dunno, though. I kind of realised it when I was going to get off the bus when it came to my bus stop a couple of days ago, it amy have been yesterday but I think it was the day before that, my memory is crap, but anyway, because of the ENORMOUS amoutns of snow in Stockholm right now, the buses stop at real strange places and you have to kind of jump off or else you´re going to land in a big pile of snow, so you have to try and jump over it. The bus was full with people and when I landed I kind of slipped, and I didn´t fell over, but I was damn close to, and I made lots of strange gestures with my hands and legs and all that, trying to stand up straight and not fall over. And I just, didn´t feel strange about it. it was more like "Oops, heh heh" and I strated to walk, but if that had happened to me about three months ago maybe, I´d be horribly embarrassed and be like "OH MY GOD EVERYONE IS LAUGHING AT ME" and feel really ashamed. But I didn´t. And it felt so good, so damn GOOD, being able to laugh about it and just don´t care. I haven´t been able to do that for, well, any part of my life, but I feel so much more selfconfident and just.. well, glad nowadays. Maybe I´m growing up or something. Oh, wait, I can recall me laughing hysterically whilst listening to the song "Meatballs in your nose" with the chorus You shouldn´t put meatballs in your nose Marcüs you can´t put meatballs there stop putting meatballs in your nose Marcüs you shouldn´t put them there today, and also listening to songs like "You´ve got dandruff" and "Dirty underwear" and laughing madly to that too. So, no, I haven´t grown up yet. But the meatballsong is just HILARIOUS, a guy singing it with a german accent, in swedish of course, oh and I haven´t met a single person yet not to have laughed about it. What does that say about my friends? (Don´t answer that!) So, yesterday was Sinister International Bowling Day if I´m not wrong, but I might be, as I´ve already mentioned, my memory is not the best. Anyway, I hope you all had a great time and had fun. I´ve talked about Ryan Adams already, but I´m going to mention him again. I got Gold for christmas, and it´s just such an amazing album, and Mr Adams´ beautiful voice keep me company wherever I go now, even in this very moment. I´m going to go see him when he comes to Sweden, I MUST or else I´ll.. ok, not DIE, but almost! I long for the Strokes´ gig on the 4th of March, it´s going to be great and I think that I´m going to get a backstagepass as well, not sure yet, but I just might. It would be so nice. AH. Yesterday before I fell asleep I thought about the dilemma: Julian Casablancas wanting me to come along to his room, would I say yes or no? Well, if that was the only question, I´d say yes, oh yes, but Amanda is almost obsessed wiht him so I´d hurt her badly if I did. So I wouldn´t. He´s not my favourite Stroke anyway. I like Nick Valensi, but also Fab Moretti. I just like Nikoali Fraiture because he always seems so shy and insecure and lost. Our internet at home is gone, so I´m at my grandparent´s house now, sitting at their comupter, don´t worry though, my mum is paying for it. Our internet connection + nice channels as VH1 and MTV2 is going away from my life, but as well as that my mum´s husband is, because he payed for that, but I must say I´m glad about it. He was one of the strangest persons I´ve ever known. He lived with us for ten years, and I still didn´t really know him. Awfully strange man, but now he´s gone, yes! they´re not divorcred, but I guess they´re going to, which is for everyone´s best. Before I quit, I of course have to say "hullo" to some people; *Corduroy Boy (the mixtape is brilliant, gorgeous! But come to Sweden!) *Lindsey Baker (kittenmittens! yay! thank you!) *Joe Vester (not for any special reason, but he´s just really cool) *JohnJohn (haven´t heard from you for quite some time now..) *Paul (thank you SO MUCH for the B&S-video! It´s SO good, i watch it every day!) Sorry if I forgot anyone, but it wasn´t because i want to be mean, oh, yes, i remebered one more: AN Monchihi! My little snowangel, hi to you too! So goodnight Sinister boulevard, goodnight see ya soon goodnight Sinister boulevard, see you sometime Astrid x Goodnight, sinister boulevard _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: if it's that kinda party, i'm gonna stick my dick in da mashed pataters
by stacey dahling 30 Dec '01

30 Dec '01

So Christmas is over. But Athens seems unwilling to release it from its long, blood-red, manicured talon grip. I ventured into the city center to be swallowed into swarms of scary shoppers and skinny Santas, some pulling along tiny ponies. Mimes, street musicians, magicians, balloons, people, people, people. It was a bit frightening. A bit exciting. And I felt lost, caught unawares, with neither kids nor friends in tote, no money to spend on holiday shopping, no camera to at least capture the action. There werent even any after-Christmas sales! I was confused. Still am. I had a simply fantastic holiday though. On the Wednesday prior to Christmas, I hopped on a bus and had an action-packed five-hour journey north to spend a week with Ms. Velocity Girl herself, Kalliope. I had a front-row seat, which afforded me a fantastic view of the winter wonderland that existed 20 minutes north of Athens. It was breathtaking, and unexpected - rolling fields of white, snow-covered purple peaks everywhere I looked. I grew excited. It WAS Christmas! It was a bit nipply when I left Athens at 3 p.m. and the temperature swiftly plummeted along the way. By the time we stopped for our 15-minute break at 5:30, it was downright freezing - the bus driver decided to have some giggles by locking us out of the bus for 10 additional minutes. When we started up again, the sun had set and a silent, serious tone fell over the entire bus as the driver inched along to avoid certain death on the icy roads. It was rather silly, but fun all the same. I love emergency mode. When we passed through little villages, you could see villagers coming together to shovel out the main road and central square. They huddled in cafes and peered out of houses at anyone who dare venture outdoors. When I arrived in Volos, it was only 8 p.m., but the place was deserted, like a ghost town! More than 100,000 residents and only five could be seen. There were no taxis. I stood for a few minutes, watching my breath mist and fall heavily like ice, my teeth chattering, my bones vibrating, my toes freezing, before giving up and beginning to skate along the ice-covered sidewalks to the city center. Along the way I passed a city bus terminal and had the brilliant idea of taking a bus. The guy told me there would be one coming in five minutes, so I bought a ticket and waited with this friendly, frightening chap. When I got to Kallis apartment I never wanted to leave again. So warm and cozy. Mmm. I felt like the biggest wimp, this New England girl moaning about a spell of Grecian winter. But the television did say it was -7 Celsius that night so I think I was justified. My God! -7! Im not entirely sure how cold that is, but considering it hardly ever dips below 10 here, it was quite dramatic. And now that Im back in Athens, its up arouns 17 again. Ha! Insanity! Anyway... my resolution to stay indoors did not last long. Soon we were outside again, running along the beach, the SNOW-COVERED BEACH, making snow angels and burying the dog and hurtling snow-covered objects at each other and trying to shake big clumps of snow off the bamboo sun umbrellas. A mist was coming off the sea, and the whole scene was surreal. And SO FUCKING FUN! I felt like I was 10 years old again. Afterwards we walked to the video store to stock up on horror films. Walking, however, was a bit difficult, considering the fact that every surface was covered with at least two inches of solid ice. So we developed this crazy glide, and skated arm in arm down side streets, singing awful South Park and Christmas tunes. We spent a good chunk of time and money at the supermarket, stocking up on supplies to make enough soup and pie to take us well into the new year - if we didnt eat it all within the week. Oops. Hell, Its the holidays! Isnt the whole point of it to eat, drink and be merry? Well, we did all that, in mass quanities. Oh what a spectacle we must have made, pushing an overflowing shopping carriage home through the streets covred with ice and slush. And later, when we headed to the local park with scary ski hats pulled low, large knives in hand on our way to cut some evergreen branches for our Christmas tree. We took the branches home, stuck them in a planters pot, tied them together with a bit of twine, and spent the rest of the night decorating it with balls of crumpled newspaper we painted and other random items. We also had an impromptu ghetto dance party. Inspired by my ghetto-looking ski hat, perhaps? Kalli popped on her Ice-T record and demonstrated how she could shake her ass, ghetto style and I was duly impressed. Shocked, in fact, by how bad-ass she truly is, deep down. No twee motherfucking in that house. Give Kalliope a ski mask and she looks like she could pop your ass. Shit, g-friend! Before long we were both bouncing to Cypress Hill and the Beasties. On the last night we shaked our asses a bit to a more subdued beat - that of Belle and Sebastian! At a café! It was completely unexpected. We decided it was high time we left the house and met a few of Kalliopes friends at a café. The DJ played FIVE B&S songs! And other amazing songs in the meantime, including Heavenly and Love and a whole block of The Smiths. I was shocked. Yay! What else? I dont know, its all a blissful haze. We were going to write a joint post but couldnt find the time in all the fun we were having! HA! Okay, so perhaps that was a bit mean, but its kinda true. To be honest, I never expected to have such a fantastic holiday. I was feeling a bit down about spending my first Christmas away from home, and my family was treating me like a big traitor for being away. I didnt think it would be a real Christmas without the cheesy movie and music marathons, the pecan pie and huge fragrant tree and evil grandmother evasion tactics. But it was in some ways better! There was no tradition, so we kind of made up the rules as we went along, throwing together bits of tradition, which resulted in interesting combinations. Like tiropita, curry, and apple pie. Ha! There were no annoying relatives to entertain. No reason to wake up at a certain time. No expectations. Its a Christmas Ill never forget. Actually, Kalliopes apartment has begun to feel like home for me anyway. And after each visit, Kalliope and I feel more and more like sisters. To think, it was sinister that brought us together! Ah, what would I do without you, dear sinister? I also liked how Christmas day was punctuated by a steady stream of well-wishing text messages from others in the sinister family, and how that night #sinister was hopping with listees trying to escape their real families. Aww. Ive spent the final days of 2001 listening to punk covers of the cheesiest songs of all time. Mandy, Puff the Magic Dragon, Dont Cry For Me Argentina. They are surprisingly fantastic. All from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. I have 11 of them, and I keep playing them over and over again. Then I started crying when I heard the Cheers theme song. Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name. Its sad, non? Then theres the Lionel Richie. The original, no covers there. My former flatmate, Emilie, once tried to single-handedly resurrect Lionels career. It was about the same time as a new greatest hits album was released, and she thought it was perfect timing for a comeback. She decided to start in our apartment, of course. Until then I had never realized how much Lionel I knew. More than youd think. He is quite classy. And now Dancing on the Ceiling makes me want to dance all over my cold marble floors. This morning I blasted the punk covers and Lionel and.. Queen! And my flatmate was so startled she actually left her beserk cleaning frenzy to come in my room and ask Are you playing Lionel Richie??? Just had to make sure. I think it was a statement more than a question. I think maybe she was trying to imply something. Hmm. At least I wasnt crying at the time. Ive been playing a hell of a lot of Alchemy lately. Its this strategy game from Shockwave.com that Kalliope got me addicted to. Ive managed to ace it enough to make it to the very final level, which I of course cannot complete. Argh! Last night I made granola. As in, I took rolled oats, wheat flakes, barley flakes, peanuts, maple syrup, honey, raisins and other dried fruit and baked it. Which presupposes that I was in the supermarket, regarding rolled oats and wheat flakes with interest. This is weird for me, in case you didnt know. Im still reeling. Today I plan on making my own garden burgers with the mince soya product I also bought in the grains section. I dont think Ive ever stood for more than five seconds in the grains section. Whoa. Sadly, there was no bowling in Athens on Saturday. I considered it and even called Joanna. But she was in her fathers village up north. So. Yeah. Her absence also means I have no New Years Eve plans as of yet, which disturbs me a bit more. Traditionally I have welcomed in the new year by dancing my ass off to cheesy Top 40 and ghetto rap in a squalid club with my little sister and her best friend. I was willing to make do this year by dancing my ass off in a cheesy oldies club or even an indie club, but it looks unlikely. Coral doesnt really celebrate New Years Eve, she told me yesterday, but might be convinced to hang out downtown as a cultural experience or something. This is kind of appealing. I mean, when I was little I used to watch the festivities in New York City and wish I was there. And now I actually live in a huge city, a 10-minute bus ride away from the biggest party in the country. I should go, non? Yeah. I just dont want to go alone. Something about being alone on New Years Eve depresses the hell out of me. Its bad enough not having anyone to kiss at midnight, at least I can console myself with the fact that Im with other important people. Blech. Ah well. Happy New Years lovies..

Sinister: my two cents on the B&S VCD
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 29 Dec '01

29 Dec '01

hello everyone, I hope everyone had a nice Christmas, or anyone Jewish had a nice day playing golf or pool. That's what all my Jewish friends seem to do every year, anyway,. Play golf or pool and get Chinese takeaways for dinner. This is quite appealing, actually. I have "inherited" (via my recent marriage) a fairly large family, and seem to have spent the last few days endlessly visiting people I've never met before, when all I've wanted to do is stay home and listen to my new post-Christmas CDs. (sigh) Can I encourage everyone to get a Jeepster Records DJ bag? This was my main present, and it's ace. My old satchel was falling apart, and now I'll be the hippest kid at work. anyway, the VCD ....... A few days ago I got a copy of Suede's "Lost in TV" DVD. It's great, for a number of reasons. Firstly, it's been great to see all the promos. Living in New Zealand, I've missed out on pretty much every decent music video, and those I have seen have been via third or fourth generation dubs. So having a decent quality copy is fantastic. Secondly, and what I really like, is the interactivity. Suede don't really like many of their videos, and the DVD gives the user the option of hearing the band members actually talk about the videos, what they liked, didn't like etc. So, anyway, it would be nice if B&S could do something similar. I remember that, back in '99, there was some talk via the Jeepster newsletters, or releasing a VHS compilation of B&S TV appearances, promos, plus Gentle Waves stuff too. I think B&S could put together a really nice package, along similar lines to :lost in TV". Anyway, that's my two cents. Merry Christmas, and a happy new year everyone, Lawrence +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: another day has begun...
by maryam! 29 Dec '01

29 Dec '01

I've noticed that for every heartbreak I suffer, there is a theme song. Right now it's "waiting for the moon to rise". I gave the CD to him for his birthday, and that was the first track he listened to. Well, now he's taken and everytime I hear that song I want to mope off in a corner... but i want to hear the song all the time. Blah. The single is ok, I'm liking "I love my car" the best, "marx and engels" being second, "I'm waking up to us" being my least favorite... the vocals tend to bother me. Alright, people...

Re: Sinister: Don't Think Twice (It's OK, I Suppose)

I think we should applaud Pinefox on this one for making the post that bears the most similarity to a Jorie Graham poem!

Sinister: Don't Think Twice (It's OK, I Suppose)
by P F 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

1. I see (where) Mr Moore swiftly made up for months of the sound of (the sound of) (the sea) of silence (of the turkeys) by mailing like a donkey on its way down a hill. It cheered me up. I think he wins the Sinister Xmas Poster Award. I believe Honey has the prize. I don't get informed about that kind of thing. If the apt category comes up, I shall vote Mr Moore in at top 4 posts of the year (5th pending) if only for the sake of grateful symmetry. 2. I like(s) all that Glaswegian Diary stuff. It didn't do us any harm. Cookie Jar, eh? A jar with Cookie, that could be a good idea too. Does Mr M know that John Martyn has an LP out called GLASGOW WALKER? It seems an almost uncanny coincidence, unless you think about it. 3. I was intrigued by the reference to the geezer, Miller, as a Druid performing the solstice. I'd like to imagine it but have enough trouble imagining the geezer as it is. 4. THE GREAT ESCAPE is surprisingly long, and I don't even mean the Blur LP this time (that was predictably long). Every minute's worth it though, every one a loser. I couldn't believe James Coburn got away with it. I must rethink my counsels, imbibed as a child, of political pessimism. 5. THE LORD OF THE RINGS is as good as they say, which is saying something. 6. The geezer Jackson (S not P) is not big or clever for playing famous Stones riffs before every song. Any idiot can do it. I've been doing that for years, and my fees have never been upped as a result. 7. I would like to talk about S.J. Perelman. A good gag of his that sticks in the mind was about the National Board of Labour, 'or "Nat" as I call him' - that was roughly the wording, you get the idea. 8. John Peel on Xmas night played O COME O COME EMMANUEL. (A different version?) I'm not quite sure whether Mr Moore mentioned that. He also played NOT THE TREMBLING KIND, that wasn't a bad idea. 9. Lloyd Cole is back, twice. He has finally released an LP that my Producer might conceivably like more than I do. (Hold that thought. I may be some time.) He's also released one which doesn't have quite as many full new songs as I'd like, but whose every acoustic texture is swoonsome. I feel so suspiciously at home among its sounds, I have a feeling I may have recorded it myself. 10. THOUGHT FOR 2D Rome wasn't built in A.D. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: SUPERBOWL XXVI!!
by Christiaan!! !! 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

Someone Said: >suppose. I for one disapprove of swearing, Fuck, I haven't posted in a long time! Someone else was talking about the old man (who sounded like he looked somewhat like Harry Carry [however you spell that man's name]) on NPR bitching about Harry Potter. He did sound like a twat. I recently read the first Harry Potter, and I must say, it was lovely! Oh wait, no it wasn't, it was a big pile of shit. I hear the series gets better, though, so yesterday I purchased the second one, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." I will read it and make a new decision! If I was the Rowlings lady, I would have written about hippies. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Pot." Haha! Look at that! Three different reference in one use of the word pot, boy! How was everyone's Christmas? Asked out of habit, not caring of course! It's good to see B&S are playing shows and making people happy. It would be nice if they played in the midwestern USA too! We could give them apples. Of course, they never will, so whatever! It's nice to hear the shows have been good. Oh, speaking of flying, I have a story to relate!! Recently I was flying from Toledo to Toronto. It was a small plane and the thing kept getting blown all over the sky by the tough-ass wind (winter has hit us hard this year; we've had 7 inches of snow already!). Well, the plane was big enough to have a bathroom, so I got up to do a pee. Needless to say, a big gust caught us and I toppled over! And guess who I landed on! Isobel! Boy, was I surprised. She, however, was not. "Hi! Heeheheheheeeee!" she said. "What?" I replied. "I AM STALKING YOU! HAHAHAHAHAH!" "NO! You are not!!" "Yes I am, now that I have met you I will make a song!!" "OK! Wait no you are the the Gentle Waves ARUGHGH." "Boy in the airplane, here is an acorn, hooray hooray hooray! dum dee dum" Anyway I don't know what the hell was going on. It's almost the new year!! That means everyone will get drunk, except me. It also means one other thing!! NEW YEARS WORD SEARCH!! C R A C K E R O P Y A A H D R G C B A O M D W C N T E X R L E I Q E C F T H T A L C T U R T L E Y N N A F E R M V W Y D M L D W E A O H N A H Q E I V G M N F T Z P C F O I A T O I A Q E C V C U R B E Special party words: CRACKER RADICAL TURTLE YOLANDA PARTY CURB MAGIC The words are also all the things you need for wacky new years fun!! OK it is time for work! Love, Christiaan PS: I think the last three B&S singles have been really really good. In fact, I like them quite a bit more than any of the older stuff.
