I believe it was Marilyn Manson who once said - How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people? Then he started screaming in a highly frivolous manner, I made my excuses and left. afternoon, How *does* it feel to be one of the beautiful people? I guess well soon see, when the most beautiful people of all gather in the name of picnicking, circa May 17th 2003. I believe it was Lucy Alder who first suggested the idea of making a weekend of the Karen Dunbar gig at the Royal Concert Hall and Ive been looking forward to it ever since, even if its fifty-three days away. I shall be there, complete with Physics revision books for my first and last exam on the Monday after the gig. I recently finished my first ever music video, to the music of the Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner, which has been a lot of fun and has pretty much determined that film production/direction is the kind of thing I can see myself doing in ten years time or so. On the subject of videos, I wonder when the DVD is going to be released; maybe theyll sell them at the Karen Dunbar gig in May, thatd be grand. It was only in February of this year that I realised just how long it had been since Id been to a good old pop concert so I decided to pop along to Hyndland Church Hall, where Camera Obscura, Roy Moller and the Ladybug Transistor played some great little numbers that even got a few of us up and dancing in the aisles. Those clever Camera Obscura folks even managed to colour co-ordinate their fancy new T-shirts to match my Keith FC scarf, I was impressed and even a little touched by their thoughtfulness. Roll on the new Camera Obscura album, I say. If You Find Yourself Caught In Love is maybe one of the best Belle and Sebastian songs Ive heard in a long time, both lyrically and musically superb and dont even get me started on Step Into My Office Baby those Beach Boys-esque tones are enough to make a young boy sigh (a young boy sigh). Roll on the new Belle and Sebastian album, I say. Cheerio Patrick x http://www.secondsoflight.tk _________________________________________________________________ Worried what your kids see online?
