Hey all Wasn't completely decided on posting tonight, but after being gifted a Laura Llew Sinister post, my fate was sealed. Laura said:
Dirty Dream #2: I blame this one on JenOwl's comment of, "Why do my friends and boyfriends always end up as either rapists, sadists, stalkers, Mormons or nutjobs?" which kept me laughing for days. I dreamt that she had been baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Thus, she had to quit Sinister because if she wasn't going watch rated R movies anymore she certainly wasn't going to read our smut laden posts.
An amazing coincidence that I should read that as I was reflecting on what happened to me today. I was sitting in my maths class, infinitely bored (hardly surprising), when the girl who sits behind me asks me what i'm listening to. As fate would have it she's mormon and isn't really into music. But she asks me anyway. I'm used to being asked, so i reply, "aw, nothing, you wouldn't like it". But she insisted, and i gave in (she's not bright in the school sesne but rather pretty she is and a nice person to talk to) As luck would have it, i was listening to the 3...6...9 Seconds of Light EP. It's my absolute favourite EP. I mean, Century of Fakers is grate, but what follows are three examples of B&S at their best (aren't you all marvelling at the unprecedented amount of content from me?!) The batteries on my cdplayer were almost out. I pressed forward to track two. Le Pastie. She listened for a while. Then she pressed forward and listened to Beautiful. Then to Put the Book... . I was sorta worried about what she'd think if she heard "is it true...or are you still the queen?". She took no note of it. She said, "it wasn't bad! i can see why you'd like it". This comment puzzled me. I asked her why. "Oh, cos of all the guitar stuff there"(i play guitar). I didn't quite know what to say... In somewhat-related-but-no-not-really news, this weekend will be what i imagine is the first B&S meet up in brazil. Two people! Actually, if there's actually anyone else living here in sao paulo mail me off list and we'll all plan together. I'm not holding my breath though. I think it was Peter who said he'd got the Badly Drawn Boy album and quite liked. Well, i just got it and i quite like it too. Another girl at school saw i was listening to Belle & Sebastian and went, "you like them!" and i was like "yeah!" i was so excited, you know, hoping for another fan. But no! "i bought one of their albums, i don't like it much, i like louder stuff." oh. she bought fold your hands. Not the best of introductions, although it *is* a grate album. I love the 'interpretation' of Beyond the Sunrise that someone sent in. I can actually listen to that song now, and with a smile, no less. Love you all, Mike K. Putting a little sunshine into your lives. Maybe. __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
