hello again all, a few notes re: recent mailings from you lot BELLE AND SEBASTIAN AT THE BARBICAN i confess that others have written on this before me and probably better. however, i must have my two cence to use an american parlance. firstly, i am absolutely miffed at missing the picnic. i arrived late due to having to work - this annoys me everso. i'm sure it was excellent. perhaps you all knew each other and i would've looked daft. either way i'm gonna throw my hat into the ring - let's (as the beach boys so deftly said) do it again. i want a london picnic! come on, lazy types, do we need a gig as an excuse? anyway, there was a gig. stuart's lyrical recollection was about 54% this evening. notable lyrical failures: slow graffiti, women's realm, stars of track and field. however, i cannot begin to tell you how much of a sap i felt hearing that wretched album. i was evangelical about that album circa 97/98 to the point of irritation. hearing the group play it through was pretty emotional stuff......i could see other fully grown chaps and chappesses looking far too emotional considering their years. i left fast to catch a train to enfield. i had to run and it hurt lots. THE GODLIKE GENIUS OF SCOTT WALKER someone was murmuring about scott here recently. scott is not for everyone, but in this scribe's humble opinion scott could sing the phone book and make it divine. if anyone sad enough to own 'i don't wanna hear it anymore' by the walker brothers then you'll know what i mean. i had an evening on the red wine and the scott came out......then the bacharach, then the jimmy webb. i don't drink much (he lied) but red wine + scott = mecca, followed by vomit alas. i reccomend him without reservation. espesh for the red wine crowd. yes i'm drinking now incidentally. WHO AM I? oh. i'm new here. here are some facts regarding me. faves: b&s song: slow graffiti punk rock single: 'where's bill grundy now' by the television personalities cheese: cheddar obviously film: 'if......' actually, has anyone seen 'if...'? it really is the most ridiculously wonderful film i have ever seen. i want a picnic! come on london! i've said enough james (dumbangel1) _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
