My brother is one of the head librarians at the CSU Fresno Music Library (one of the largest music collections in California - hoo-ha), and the library just got a big, fat grant to go and buy new CDs. The best part is that I gave him a list of my essential picks for his shopping list, and he's going to buy them. So now, thanks to me, "If You're Feeling Sinister" will get its own catalog number and place on a shelf in the library.

that's cool. My mom's a librarian too, at a small library in the Chicago suburbs...they have a very eclectic music collection because she does the CD shopping. They own several Smiths albums (Morrissey too!), some Joy Division, and tons of other assorted indie stuff...she has to buy the popular music, but she always has me pick a few. The people in my town don't check it out very much, but a lot of it gets sent to other libraries for people to enjoy. (They're on a network with 50 or 60 other suburban libraries, and most of them don't have very large or eclectic CD collections.) I think Belle and Sebastian is a must for the next CD shopping trip. It would certainly add to the collection. I'm also going to recommend the purchase of Quasi's "Featuring 'Birds'" but I don't know if that will happen. Another amusing aside...I took a test in my grammar class and the professor mentioned the Smiths in one of the questions. I smiled a *bigbig* smile. After class, I asked him if he had ever heard of Belle and Sebastian...and he said no...so I'm making him a tape. I'll convert him yet. And I'd better get an A on that test for it. *smile* still brimming with happiness from monday's show-- nanette! **Visit No Idea, No Spark: Nanette's Online Journal** http://www.geocities.com/soho/workshop/7432/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
