Hi kids. Before i go on and praise B&S for including middle distance on their next ep it seems i have been "gently chided" for my use of unevocative prose in the description of Hefner, the 13th note and camera obscura so um, im sorry.I did mention that the 13th note was excellent and that by scary i meant dank and atmospheric. Camera Obscura, in my drunken state, did sound like B&S not a hugely like them but there was a resemblance, not in that they were scottish but because they sounded very much the "twee" band. The more i think of it the more it could have been Struan there. He did seem pretty shy, and when a small chant of Stuart was started he did seem pretty amused, so perhaps it was him after all. Now onto B&S. I'm absolutely delighted that they're releasing Middle Distance, i've never actually heard it live but i did manage to download it from www.belleandsebastian@freeserve.co.uk and it sounded really amazing. I rate it much higher than Paper Boat which is also pretty amazing. Has anyone heard Poupee di cire, poupee de son? I heard it on some bootleg of a french concert and it scared me to my very bones, in a good way. Isobelle sang it in perfect French and then apologised if her french was bad. If anyone has heard it and can e-mail me a translation i'd be chuffed. Peace, Love, Empathy Danny xxxxxxx _________________________________________________________________________ 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.
