Mick puts me in my place

Well, Sinister is red and LLPJ is purple, of course!

My, GOD he's right! That's what I get for writing shit like that at work, where I don't (usually) keep the Belle and Sebastian catalog at hand. Well, good. That means B&S snobbery is now in full effect. Would someone who's lucky enough to have the Tigermilk LP call the album cover "gray" or what?

Come to think of it, Stuart M's songs (for Stevie, Isobel & Stuart D's songs don't seem to be about people's occupations as much) seem focused on daydreamers, students, photographers, bussinesspeople, artists, members of Arab Strap, Line Painters(?), long- and Middle-Distance Runners, assorted Stars of Track and Field, authors, the sick, the blind, the users of medicinal drugs, and of course, children.

My good friend Laurie (my co-star in "Embarrassment on the Streets of Athens") is a living, breathing Stuart Murdoch lyric. By night, she loves the night life, she loves to boogie, big pockets for the pharmaceuticals, etc., but by day, she's an elderly care-giver at a home for alzheimer's patients. Plus, a billion and one tragic romances and even more interesting tragic flings. If Stuart's subject well ever starts drying up, I've got her number. And this whole line painting thing is a total mystery... That's all, I swear... ~Reid +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
