But speaking of dancing to B&S, the piano part in Seeing Other People gives me a kind of Vince Giraldi Trio "Charlie Brown Theme" type vibe. Every time I hear it I'm forced to do a sort of shuffle like Schroeder does in the Peanuts Xmas special. <<
I too have used this description when trying to convert my unknowing and often unwilling friends. It makes me wanna dance on one foot then the next, alternating sides that I bop my head. The xmas special is the reason I have often thought this song extra wintry. carl wrote:
if you haven't seen "happiness" yet, go see it! now! i mean it. i don't want to bastardize any of the movie, so i'll just say, "wow, it's quite a movie". <<
I completely agree!! I saw it last week and it has upped the ante for filmmaking. I havent been so moved to silence in a long time. I'm still digesting and processing most of it. I'm gonna try to see it again soon. Finally, on a consumer high last week, my vacuum tube amplifier and magnaplanar speakers were delivered on Friday. And although belle and sebastian sound great on my discman and everywhere else I have played them, I must admit they simply sparkle through my new system. So I am an audiogeek!! The tears that came upon my first listening to B&S came streaming again as I listened to Judy whilst sitting in my sweet spot. If you get a chance, go to a hifi shop and sample some B&S on some electroplanar speakers. When I was shopping around I used several songs for testing and a salesguy even wrote down the title and band name for himself. I know not everyone can appreciate or afford to get a similar system: mine came with several years of saving and a very teeny inheritance from my mom. But to hear every small breath Stuart takes is a simple thing that makes this not so young girl sigh. ciao for now, Dawn (Vintage68 Libra) np on her Adcom player thru her Conrad Johnson CAV50 and Magnaplanar 1.6's... the divine Sarah Vaughn +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
