Dear Sinister i hope this finds people well etc etc and so forth. the subject was taken from our dear taoseach ( irish equivilant of prime minister/president Blair) Another one i thought was quite humourous was "through government funding we have managed to turn temple bar ( "cultural" quarter of dublin) into Irelands west bank. Squire Gardiner mentioned about meet ups in London. I am travelling all the way over the irish sea for this gig and wouldn't mind a meet up/piss up of sorts. I am going to the wednesday gig if that aids matters any. I can't wait , even though my window for getting to london is thin , if we don't get that flight in the early morning our plans are basically sunk which would be a shame. going to england last week i was meant to fly out on friday morning , due to weather our flight was cancelled and we had to drive to Kerry Airport to fly out 12 hours after we intended. This is the eqivilant to wanting to fly out of Newark and driving to the tiniest municiple airport with no longterm carpark and damn expensive guinness . the dvd i must say i like. i am not in any way an anorak of it but it is getting there, i noticed at least one example of gurning which funnily enough is a word i never new existed until this very day. Drew Barrymore? i tried once and came to the conclusion that my remaining leg was being pulled. i got ms campbells album the other day and must say i quite like it. ok i felt like a bit of a idiot going up to the counter with a pink cd case and lining up behind a guy with the buffy box set but anyway i pulled through and after i tore the sticker off say "ex belle and sebastian cellist" and had a moment silence i put the album on and it was rather goo d. something in me wasn't expecting to be. i think cats pajamas is my fave thus far. some of it does sound slightly like b+s when she was with them which makes sense. Also i noticed in the liner notes that she thanks Mr Stuart David ( i wonder how wee Karn is , since he hasn't done anything of particular importance since i feel i have lost touch with what wee karn has said/done/shat) and she doesn't even mention anyone in belle and sebastian. i think we have an opposition camp setting up. Anyway i can't really remember what else i was going to write about so i will just end on this note. meetup? regards Jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
