In a post more warped than the sizing system at the Gap, Ian wrote: <<i was a bit bored so i kidnapped sarah cracknell from saint etienne and have imprisoned her in my cellar. >> As self-proclaimed founder and President of the recently established Sarah Cracknell Appreciation Society, I CANNOT stand by and let this happen!! NO! My crack team of bleach blonde go-go dancing hostage negotiators are on their way, armed with feather boas, so watch out, buster!!! While on the subject, Saint Etienne are currently touring the US, and I *strongly* urge anyone within cat-throwing distance to go see them, regardless of whether you're familiar with the band or not. A good time is guaranteed for all. Sarah is a total glam queen and although she's teensy, she could probably take Isobel in a fight. Struan, too. hi, my name is Tara, I live in San Francisco, and although i've been quiet I've been around for quite some time.. . for about 42 rounds of the perennial " belle and sebastian-ish/favorite books" thread, anyway. (I've got an ancient compilation of listee recommendations, anyone interested in a copy please contact me privately.) Interestingly, the same books/authors seem to pop up a lot, though one I don't remember being mentioned is "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" by Thornton Wilder. It's a very sad collection of tales about these lonely people who are all destined to the same doomed fate. Something about the way the characters in the book are described, and their approaches to life remind me of Judy, Lisa, et al. The rest of y'all probaby read this book in junior high, but I was in total VC Andrews worship back them ... <slaps wrist> Anyway, go back, read it, enjoy, cry. back into hibernation, Tara (who wants to know why a CD proclaiming itself "the best Latin music album in the world...ever!" includes a Beck song??????) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
