hey, kids -- seems like i'm always telling you things that i've read in very bad music publications, but i thought you might be up for some reading to stave off bowlie antici........pation! so, included in Rolling Stones top albums of the 1990's is IYFS. this is what they got to say: _____________________________________________________________________________ Belle and Sebastian If You're Feeling Sinister This instrument-switching Scottish outfit represented the ultimate triumph of twee, that British subgenre that applies rock-style hipness and amateurish fervor to unrock interests such as coffeehouse folk, French 1960's pop and the works of Burt Bacharach. Casually led by real-life choirboy and Smiths admirer Stuart Murdoch, Belle and Sebastian attached cello, trumpet and strings to a skiffle beat and melodies devised after hours of lonely listening to vintage Top Forty radio. Not since Nick Drake had so quiet a band spoken so loudly. ______________________________________________________________________________ now we not only have a definition of tw**, we also have the perfect formula for songwriting! ah, well... it is still both exciting and disheartening to see B&S in shit mags like RS, but probably no one noticed anyway. ah, yes, my subject line: today i was finishing a cigarette with kimmy outside the post office, and i turned to leave, not realizing i was perched at the edge of the big concrete steps. i took a flying leap, trying to avoid the concrete, which i did, only to land on my hands and knees in the mud, thereby ruining my jeans and making for an embarassing situation. why share this? well, the first thing that came to my mind was the line from "lazy line"... oh, and if students can smuggle orangejuice&vodka into class in Sunny Delight bottles, surely you clever, sinister people can smuggle some alcohol into bowlie! take care, and take pictures! xoxo, marie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
