hello left handers something occurred to me whilst reading Anthony Saunders' mail everybody's favorite belle and seb record seems to be the one they heard first. personally i consider '...feeling sinister' as *my* album as no one else i knew had heard of b&s when i got hold of it and it got me through my gcse exams (i went through a phase of listening to it every night on my walkman and wore the tape out and had to get the cd) the two latest albums didn't really *do* it for me, if you know what i mean, but i adore tigermilk coz a friend bought it fo my for my birthday this year, on vinyl too, i suppose b&s records hold sentimental value for me more than other bands, they're not my favorite band in the world (well, equal 2nd and definately in my top 5) but i love them for different reasons to other bands and they are very, very special to me. did this ramble have a point? mail me if yiu can figure one out. don't you think 'i fought in a war is just so incredibly sad? people always ask me why i listen to melancholy, down music but i find it all amazingly uplifting and it helps me get through when shit is getting *me* down so i suppose it all goes round in circles. i think i'll give 'fold your hands...' another go and learn to love it. incedentally 'fold your hands...' reminds me of charles de gaulle airport in paris where i had a 2 hour wait between planes on my way to barcelona last month and i listened to FYHCYWLIP whilst sitting in the departure lounge and it'll forever remind me of that. CDG airport is the one on the front of the new U2 album. someone mentioned customising badges from boring crap to something you can wear, i took this on board today and changed a badge i had picked up a a lo fidelity allstars/regular fries gig with 'sneaker beaters' written on it and stuck on with sellotape the words 'on the leeds side-streets that you slip down,' this is for my aforementioned friend, cathy, who has moved to leeds for uni so i think it's kinda appropriate. on our way to the leeds festival this year cathy (how come cathy and leeds are recurring themes her?) and me saw some cows on a hillside so she sand 'punctured cows, on a hillside desolate' and we spent the rest of the journey singing smiths songs but changing vital bits to the word cow, it's grate fun, you should try it. cow in a coma if a double decker cow, kills the both of us reel around the cow this charming cow see? hours of fun bit tired now think i'll go to bed see ya cats of all ages pez* _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
