I'm going to Belgium at the end of next month. I'm visiting Brussels and Bruges having obtained a very cheap Eurostar ticket. According to Honey's list-everyone-by-domain-type list, there are 5 of you there, so maybe we could have a little sinister meet-up, though it'll prolly be too cold for a picnic.....
sorry mark hester, i was not able to take part in saturday's meet-up in brussels because that snowman contest kept me busy all day.. nevertheless, as b&s related content is always appreciated, i will just lazily share with you the echo i've just received from a fellow listee.. i hope he doesn't mind..

hey jule,
yesterday's meet-up went pretty well.. three belgians plus two special guests from the uk.. too bad you couldn't make it to brussels.. we first had dinner in an asian - was it vietnamese? - restaurant that played daft dance music.. then we headed to the ABclub to see the veils (pleasant tunes, neat indie attitude, a little loud maybe) and the fiery furnaces (funny keyboards, enthusiastic lead-singer, summer clothes in mid-winter).. mark was nice enough to bring me a copy of the cuckoo and i really like it..
yesterday was definitely a good day.. i also got a fantastic calimero resin figurine which certainly is my best birthday gift so far.. well ok my birthday is in june so the classification is far from final but try to beat calimero!..
i must say i quite like the new single.. the remix is lovely, the accordion bits especially.. stop look and listen is another nice rip-off..i just wish the song was 3 minutes shorter.. "travelling light" is sweet but certainly not as good as the tindersticks song, even if the latter lacks the laser beam sounds.. reviewing records or concerts is pointless isn't it.. time for a nap now.. *waves* jule +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
