Happy May Day Weekend Sinistereens, Yet more Bowlie ravings. Jarvis Cocker: we bumped into him wearing his mac after V-Twin finished, having his picture taken with someone (was that you Care Bear? with a bag slung over your left shoulder?). Sally took a photo, but was too awe-struck to speak to him, so I did so that she could too. He was chatty enough, but a bit aloof/just being cool. We discussed why he wasn't wearing a gorilla suit, and his TV series. (Because I don't really like Pulp! Sally does though) He was upset that the programmes hadn't been shown at a primer time. Mr Dastoor (who really looks like Nick Dastoor) wrote: Laurel, for her one-woman Isobel Campbell bombing campaign. Hmmm. I think Sally flew co-pilot on at least one mission. She also called out "Snap!" to the following ink polaroid, especially the bit about Mick: This one's during 'If You're Feeling Sinister'. It's taken from a great position, only one row from the front and dead centre. The band look good. Except Straun - he needs to do something about his hair. All eyes are on Stevie, who is grinning like an idiot, clearly enjoying the adulation that his fantastic steel-guitaresque playing is receiving. Mick's smiling too, obviously pleased with his mastery of the opening guitar chords. Bowlie II: I get the impression that its Foundation, the promoters, who are organising more events. Therefore if there is another, it won't be called Bowlie, and it won't have anything to do with Belle & Sebastian. Poo or what? Bunked off work early yesterday to see Sodastream's in-store. They were great: played really intensely for an hour to an audience of 18 adults, 1 toddler & 1 baby in a sweaty record shop. Free gig, free beer, a free single: what more could you ask for? Rough Trade got me to get my plastic out 4 times though: Karl's single, a John McEntire soundtrack thingie, and new ones by Arab Strap & Suede. Now even more on the listening pile for this weekend, so its lucky I have 2 weeks' ironing to catch up on! The Belle and Sebastian story seems to be being scripted by Brookside's writers at the moment. Triumphant Bowlie gig putting an end to all the complaints ever voiced by critics or fans, swiftly followed by a debacle at Dublin ending in temper tantrums. All hold hands and wish them well and no more tensions please, before someone does something irrevocable. Some whipper-snapper 39 year old wrote about being the oldest Sinistereen: I think you 'll have to try harder, as I'll be 43 on the 12th & I don't think even I'm the oldest. Every shade of envious green imaginable, as I know someone who's got the B&S Bowlie video to watch for the weekend, (Please Release It, Let It Go - to whoever owns the rights) Lots of love, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
