I=E2=80=99m The Duke of Harringay and although I am 18 (eighteen!!) = years older than I was when I first posted on Sinister I am no less = foolish. Well, perhaps a bit. But only a bit. I must say it=E2=80=99s rather lovely to think that many of the old = names and faces may come creeping out from whatever corner of the world = they ended up in to post amusing anecdotes about their Belle & Sebastian = related antics. Me, well today I ended up driving (I know! The Duke = driving a car!!!!) around for well over an hour, ostensibly looking for = a car wash that was open, but in reality using it as excuse to listen to = much of Tigermilk and most of Sinister for the first time in far too = dashed long. It was glorious. There is something so wonderful in = listening to a much adored record for the first time in a long while and = just luxuriating in the easy familiarity, isn=E2=80=99t there? I also rather liked the new record. Perhaps I will report back about it = at some point if you are all damnably unlucky. Someone else should report back about that filum that Struan made = recently. I=E2=80=99m afraid The Duchess and I found it rather flat, but = there you are. I quite liked some of the character=E2=80=99s glasses, if = that=E2=80=99s any help? Right, I=E2=80=99m off for a refill of the whisky glass. Who=E2=80=99s = next?
