Sinister: please speak into the microphone
dear Sinister, all of you are always talking about lots of other bands that people who listen to B+S also listen to. the only band I listen to in that sort of 'category' is Belle and Sebastian. oh, I listen to lots of other stuff, mostly in completely different genres; a lot of bluegrass, a lot of emo-ish rock, some 80s pop, and stuff my parents like to listen to. and someone once gave me a mix CD of stuff that was supposed to be "B&S-like," by which I guess they meant t*ee-pop, not that B+S are, but whatever. *stumbles away hoping not to provoke another discussion of "t*ee."* and nothing there really struck my fancy. so I guess my question is, are camera obscura and the hidden cameras the same band? I mean...I don't know. I'm so confused. and is it wicked not to care about all these other bands? not cool enough for you, lem __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

hello hello! can you report back on saying hello to someone? if so, here goes! i said hello to amy skelton. for some reason i thought she was going to be american. but she wasn't. she's probably back in bangladesh right now with her shiny new visa, but it was nice to meet her. she came along to HDIF with a few pals from the olympia beer do and seemed to have fun. hope you enjoyed it amy! that wasn't much of a reporting back was it? sorry. i did try and spark up a conversation but kept being lured away by those pesky indie pop records finishing after three minutes. soul records are even worse. thank god for the velvets. i've perfected the four minute toilet dash by now..! all of which is a roundabout way of leading into this... HDIF is coming to Glasgow! On Friday August 13th - ie tomorrow - HDIF will be happening at the Little League club organised by John from National Pop League. VENUE: The RAFA Club, Ashley Street, Glasgow G3 DATE: Friday 13 August TIME: 9pm till 1am PRICE: £3 The Smiths * The Supremes * The Go-Betweens * Dusty Springfield * Belle & Sebastian * Tammi Terrell * Aztec Camera * The Ronettes * Orange Juice * Beach Boys * The Temptations * Velvet Underground * Felt * The Shangri-Las * Primal Scream * Otis Redding * The Field Mice * The Stone Roses * Dexys Midnight Runners * The Four Tops * Dolly Parton * The Orchids More info at http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk and that's about it. apart from to say that i started typing this in the garden, sitting in my lounger with my fancy new wireless internet connection, and had to rush indoor halfway through when the heavens opened suddenly. for all of thirty seconds. heavy rain and then nothing. like turning on a shower for a quick blast. what is it with this pesky british weather? x update: it's raining again. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
