Greetings sinisterines, When I first joined this list I was afraid I'd be tempted to post too much. Now it seems ages to me since I last post. I'd ment to several times, but my leg got caught in some tangly lurker bramble, and the lovely sinister village was nothing more than a skyline on the horizon. Now I'm sure my listcrush untangled me, and I've just been moved to post by the strangest belle and sebastian dream ever. It began on a stage that was set up with the instuments of my favorite local band, Rane. Isobel and Stuart were there, trying with great difficulty to get a cello around the percussionist's equipment. Stuart looked up and said "Hello, we're two members of Belle and Sebastian." Then Isobel looked up for a moment and just said, "Oh, hi." They continued struggling with the cello while a very official voice in the background talked about the musical "groups" that created such hits as Sur le Point d'Avignon, and I'm a Little Tea Cup. Then the two gave up on the cello and proceeded to play People Lose Their Pants in Mexico with great gusto on the marimbas. Now I'm not convinced that this is a real song. It was taught to Robby Boscarino by his grandfather, and subsequently taught to me by my brother. Anyhue, the official voice then went on to discuss why the aforementioned "groups" had troubles, never acheived the success of their first hits again, and broke up. Then a littl! ! e tagline showed saying somethin g like "Earnestly trying to foster originality." This dream was so realistic that when I woke up I felt like posting and saying "Did anyone see the ad with Isobel and Stuart? Strange...very strange indeed... Be well, the whole lot of you, Kara Jean* +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
