Hey Sinisterines, I'm afraid I'll be missing the Looper instore this evening, sadly. The show on Friday was indeed quite lovely. The songs all sounded as if they'd been greatly fleshed out since the recording of the album. It's a shame they can't re-record the album now. Anyway, perhaps this is a better preview of Looper album nombre deux. Also, Winter Woos[f]kie was this time performed by all the members of Looper, not just David on geetar and Stuart D. on vocals. It sounded great. Either Stu[D] is getting better at singing or his voice is growing on me. Either way it's good =) Dan, I saw you but didn't know you were une sinisterine. Wondered where you got the shirt, but figured it was through the webpage. Guess not. I certainly liked the whole audio/visual experience, though. That was the best part of it I think. Sometimes the video seemed a smidgen trite, but it seemed mostly quite good. Regarding the scene with a dancing flares-wearing boy, some expressed skepticism as to whether or not it was Chris. We all definately thought we saw Sarah and Isobel, though. It must be fairly old, as it was prior to Isobel getting her hair cut like Amelia Fletcher/Jane Seberg. We thought we saw Stuart Murdoch sitting on a fallen log near Sarah, but it is only conjecture. I do agree with whoever thinks the flares-clad boy was Chris, as in Ink Polaroids he asked for "40-inch flares and Celtic to win the league cup." Moving on, as per a post on the Factory list (which is only slightly higher traffic than Sha-La-La, sadly):
Having recently bought the Belle & Sebastian album Tigermilk, just released on CD for the first time, I was struck by the similarity of the song Electronic Renaissance to New Order's Procession - both the bassline and synths. Is this plagiarism......?
I won't post the author, and I'll let you all make your own judgements as to his/her question. I can't even remember what Procession sounds like offhand... Lastly, Stuart Gardiner was stumped as to whether or not to include Tigermilk last or first in his record collection. Well, being somewhat less anal retentive than the main character in High Fidelity yet somewhat more than the average Joe, I'll give my two cents. If the release date is what matters to you, then put it most recent. If, however, the chronolgy of the recordings, not their proper releases, is important, put it earlier on. However, if you do that, stick Dog on Wheels before it, because it was the first in order of recording. That's how I do it, anyway. Okay, that's all for me.
