"and the rain comes rattling..." good [rainy] morning, ye of the sinister persuasion, (i think i used "ye" incorrectly, and my HistoryOfTheEnglishLanguage professor would probably have my head for it, but...) i was reading SPIN last night -- a hi-gloss, sell-out publication second in shamelessness only to RollingStone -- and there was a review of Blur's new album. now, i'm not going to comment on blur because, in all honesty, i think all i ever heard was "song 2," but in the review, the author mentioned that the band were tackling lost love or something, and then proceeded to mention a slew of other bands who are partial to this, including Belle&Sebastian. ... i may not have gotten the words right, and SPIN will probably sue me, but i thought i'd mention it... on the topic of school uniforms: i went to catholic school for 8 years, and although it was not boarding school or all-girls, i DID have to wear a plaid skirt and woolen knee socks. and it was Damn Hot come june 23, let me tell you! i've never been mauled by birds, but my mum was once chased home from school (in 4th grade or something) by geese. in freakin' new jersey suburbia! dave the moon man is my current favorite looper song -- precious. take care, xoxo, marie ps. kisskiss! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
