hello people,
i feel like expressing my opinion about isobel´s exit from the band. apart from her cello genius i think isobel has sung some of belle and sebastian´s most beautiful songs, my personal favourite is "waiting for the moon to rise". true, she didn´t have a professional singing voice, but i think her voice was unique, it added to the specialness of the band. i will certainly miss her, and i´m really glad that i have seen the band at least once before she left, which was in rotterdam in april, and which was truly wonderful. however, isobel´s constant depressive appearance got on my nerves, it was especially visible at the rotterdam gig, when the rest of the band was in excellent form and really funny, and she just stood there and looked like she was going to die. this is probably unfair, though, as most people here, i suppose, know how it feels to be depressed and not be able to find a way out. sometimes you just can´t help it, you fuck up other people´s good mood and cool times because you feel so shit. you are completely obsessed with yourself in that moment, you´re totally unable to pull yourself together for the sake of everyone else. i know this is crap behaviour, but as i said, sometimes you just can´t help it although you should.
i know i mentioned austin before, but at the moment i am completely obsessed with texan bands, or actually american indie bands in general. originally i am very british-based concerning guitar music, so i´m just discovering all that stuff from labels like tigerstyle, temporary residence, and better looking. that explosions in the sky album is just one of the most head-fucking, mind-blowing, destroying pieces of music, and they will come to europe in autumn! they will play in germany in october though, and i´m moving to manchester in september, but, thank god, they´ll be in birmingham on 11 september (what a date, and with THAT name!), and in leeds september 16. i´ll be there. definitely. the american analog set, and tristeza, both on tigerstyle, they are also my favourites. saw tristeza in april, and amanset just 2 weeks ago, both incredible gigs, and incredible nice people, especially amanset.
yes. nothing more to say, i think. apart from this: what happened to astrid from sweden, you still around? on the list i mean?
i hope you are all fine, also isobel... love, anne.
ps: i guess most people didn´t give a fuck about germany in the world cup, but i was really sad yesterday. they have played well, though, really...
