*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* i'd like to thank mike, julian, and stephane for their lovely letters. for once, i feel like rather than making me jealous, they made me really happy. when mike talked about the show, i almost felt like i was there. perhaps it's my mood (though i rather doubt it cause the mood isn't that pleasant) or maybe i'm just looking at things differently today, but these letters were so much nicer than those from people who complain. there is a difference between a criticism and a complaint, but i think lately a great many people have been erring toward the complaint. well, if you've seen belle and sebastian eighty times since stuart was five years old and singing choir songs, that's well and good. but why would anyone continue to go and see them if all you felt was disappointment? why bother to go if it isnt' worth your precious time? i know several of you have seen the band dozens of times and still get a special floaty feeling, and i'm not talking to you. but if you don't, maybe you should distance yourself from the band for a bit, so you can come back and maybe feel that realization of how lovely and wonderful it is, get that feeling back. my muddled little point of view. ;) xox megan, the cranky and sickly mkl206@is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
