I am going to need a new CD case thing. I have ordered five, no wait, six CDs from amazon.com the day before thanksgiving, which they've informed me via email have been shipped on december twenty third. it should be in my mailbox by the time I get back. All by Guided by Voices, too. My friend, who introduced me to Belle and Sebastian as well, informs me that only three of the six CDs I bought are good. Under the Bushes Under the Stars, which is the one I'm most looking forward to, to be frank, apparently is by GBV overcome by the devil, or some kind of music satan... I think her opinion may have something to do with the fact that the first song on the CD, Teenage FBI, was in the Buffy soundtrack... GBV somehow reminds me of B&S. Maybe it's just because the same person introduced me to both of them, but they do... Not their music, because
music is pretty different, but just something about them... It can't be
band members, either, because GBV is, well, old compared to B&S. Or at least from what I know. That was long. If anyone bothers to read this, which I doubt they will after scrolling down, please tell me what B&S and GBV have in common. Maybe
This is my initial Sinister post. Never heard of Guided By Voices before but I checked it out at www.cdnow.com -- found that Teenage FBI is on their Do The Collapse (1999) album. Interesting band -- reminds me a little of Warren Zevon but definitely not of Belle and Sebastian. There is an "inner peace" that I feel while listening to B&S and miss with GBV ; Badly Drawn Boy more nearly approaches it. Lutin "Old and a student still -- I don't forget, Most mossy Sir!

don't have anything in common at all to begin with, and it's just all in my head... I really should stop writing now.
