I love you, Sinister, and I'm writing about it. I was innerlemming or lem or Laurel, and I was living in Chicago and I met and had good times with many of you, and then I broke my own heart and someone else's and ended up in Austin. Since I left you I met and married and now I've divorced and I'm finding my way back to the things I loved, and one of them is you (apologies, Carly Simon). New B&S albums always seem to come when I need them most and now is good. And I'm so cheered to see that Sinister is still here and it's the same, and the old folks are still kicking around here (Ken Chuuuuuu!), and we've got new songs to discuss and new days to Do Something Pretty in, and oh, Sinister, you'll always take me in. Tomorrow I have a long date with "Write About Love" -- I'm stubbornly putting off streaming it on NPR as sacrilegious, it's strictly a Tuesday-release-day-ritual thing -- and I'm sure I'll babble about the album then, but this about love is all about you.
