Today marks one week since my cat Louise got out and hasn't come back yet. It seems unlikely that I'll get to see her again. I love her very much and am very sad just thinking about it, but haven't given up hope yet. But...to help make things a little brighter here I got my hands on a promo copy of the new album. So I thought I'd tell you all about it. It is exactly the album I was hoping they'd make. Lots of extra strings ala ddn2 which I'm always a sucker for. The Stuart songs are just divine, all of them. His songwriting really just keeps getting better. There's one by Stevie(wrong girl) and one by Isobel(family tree) that we've heard live, but they get nice treatments. There is one song sung by another girl, I'm assuming it's Sarah, that is just great. Way better than any Isobel song, and I like Isobel's songs. The only song I haven't fallen totally for, al least not yet, is sung half by Isobel, and half by a deep voiced guy(Chris?). We'll see if it grows on me. I've still not hear Legal Man. I hope it's as good as this album. My credit card is burning a hole in my wallet just waiting for those damn official tour dates. I want to see them at least one more time before they start to suck or break up. thanks for listening, Steven +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
