hello everyone, it's been *ages* since i last posted, but like a good little girl i've been saving up my things that i wanted to say until now, because i just can't resist it. YORK PICNIC - i know it was a long time ago, but i didn't get to say anything about it at the time. it was grate, me and my friend (who didn't like belle and sebastian at the time, but now loves them thanks to meeting lovely sinisterines) drank babycham and ribena. it was a strange combination. also we had fairy cakes. and the picnic was small, but perfectly formed. there was singing and guitaring and even violin playing, which all in all was hypercool. OFFBEAT - we trekked all the way to sheffield for their very special b & s night, and it was brilliant. they even played pulp's lipgloss for me. but the best things about the whole night were the posters for it that had mr men on them and then a suitable song title, so mr skinny got string bean jean and miss scatterbrain had she's losing it. we liberated quite a lot of them during the course of the night, where there was a great deal of drunkenness. STRANGEWAYS - this is a club in leeds, which we went to last tuesday. it was lots of fun and we met another lovely sinisterine who danced to she's losing it with us. and they played lots of other nice stuff, like i can't stop dreaming of injured popstars and punka. but then we didn't get home 'til 4.30 in the morning, which was really a bit late for me, because my bedtime is supposed to be 8. SCARBOROUGH and IPSWICH - i am now going to 2 of the gigs on the tour, having just bought my ipswich ticket. i'm particularly looking forward to scarborough, because there's going to be millions of us on a bus from york, and because they might play scarborough fair in a simon and garfunkle styleee. maybe each of them could take a part and do it in a round. how gorgeous would that be? i am *hyper* excited JONATHAN DAVID - i got a copy from my uni newspaper, and i got to review it but they never printed it. in a nutshell: jd itself is a grower, carriage clock is brilliant, lonliness isn't as good as the version from the telly. also something else i heard from the campus meeeja people is that they're not doing any interviews for this single, but they probably will for the next one. *fingers crossed* though it seems unlikely. and i can't wait for the peel session. at the moment, there's not much going on in my life that isn't b & s related. *aaargh* they've taken over my life. so i shall say as ever, pip pip, FB X _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
