Hello friends, Allow me to start this with the token phrase, "Oh, all you lucky people who get to see Belle & Sebastian live, I'm so jealous, etc." But you are lucky, and I am jealous. I drafted a letter to Isobel to see if she wanted to go to prom, but I never sent it. That's the extent of my B&S content, for this time, at least. There are a few things that prompted me to post, I believe that two of those things came from the illustrious Pinefox! (note the exclamation point denoting increased illustrious-ness). 1. Points of/raised by Pinefox a. Squeeze. I remember as a lad listening to Singles; 45's and Under. (Somebody help me out with that, am I even close to the title?) My father had it on vinyl and I would jump around and play with my cat during the particularly happy numbers and more than likely do considerable damage to the record. But right, they're great. b. Edward Gorey Fascinating, his works and his life. I recently read a biography on him entitled 'The Strange Case of Edward Gorey,' written by a friend of his. Has anyone got a favorite Gorey tale? I'm rather fond of the Pious Infant, personally. The preceding subpoints may not have even been raised by Pinefox, but oddly enough his posts stick out in my mind. 2. Hye Min a. Weezer The new Weezer album is incredible (though they don't seem to be too terribly popular on the list). Maybe in five more years we'll have another 28 minutes of greatness. Although word on the street is that their newer stuff is dark, like Pinkerton. Which is good, cause Pinkerton's still my favorite. Has anyone ever listened to a group called The Locust? I'm starting to grow attached to their self-titled disc. I think my favorite song off of that album is probably a toss-up between 'Moth Eaten Deer Head' and 'Cattle Mutilation.' They don't really sound anything like Belle & Sebastian at all. So, with that I suppose I'll retreat back for awhile. Hope everyone's doing well. Has anyone seen Coldplay live or is going to see them on June 2nd at the Electric Factory? My friend got me tickets so I'm rather curious. Sincerely, Timothy. xoxo p.s. LL, got the Pixies b-sides disc finally, I'll be sure to write you, er, one of these days. Terribly sorry, been busy with school and such. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
