hello, my dears.. there's a lovely article about scottish pop in Exclaim, the monthly canadian newspaper-y thing. of course there's tons of talk about the objects of our desire, as well as the pastels, bis, primal scream, mogwai and arab strap.. you can read it for yourself at: http://www.exclaim.ca but, let me give you a tiny excerpt (referring to Aidan from Arab Strap): "But talking to him you get the sense he's a rather tender pervert. Tender and rather shy, he says he's still recovering from hearing a copy of the new Belle and Sebastian album, The BOy with the Arab Strap, earlier in the week. It was the first time he heard lyrics to a song that is quite possibly talking about him. ""I'd heard the song live, but I couldn't understand what he was saying because sound-wise, they're quite terrible. I don't know who their soundman is, but he's not good. I guess I'm just hurt because he never told me about it. I don't think it was meant in a bad way, but I would have liked to have been told about that beforehand." " awwww. misunderstandings suck, don't they? i know because i was involved in far too many yesterday afternoon.. but sigh, that's another story! anyway IYFS is one of the "classic" scottish band albums, yay. a friend of mine saw a girl wearing a cranes t-shirt and chased her down the street. i wish i saw someone with a belle and sebastian shirt -- i would definetely chase them down the street... just got a felt tape in the mail, teri xxx uhhh, so what *is* happening before the toronto show? :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
