Sinister: Sometimes Luck Smiles on You
What a top day! Finally we know the name of the new album. The most striking thing about it, I think, is its notable omissions. The Loneliness..., Lord Anthony, Paper Boat, Landslide etc. It sounds like we're due for a very good e.p. , or two. The cover is ace too, and it is YELLOW and looking at the jeepster site there are going to be sleevenotes too which is GRATE! The first person to work out what book the girls are holding gets a gold star. By the way, does anyone know what book Lazy Line Painter Jane has, on her e.p.? It looks like a textbook or something. I met a chap today, at a Socialist Worker talk about Austria, who was Austrian. He was very nice and we walked off for a cup of tea and talked for a while about how Socialist Workers are too extremist and counter-productive and stuff like that. We were talking about how being reasonable is much better and I mentioned Belle and Sebastian and Stuart M and, bizarrely he'd heard of them and was a big fan. So I'm quite chuffed about this and about my new Austrian friend in general because he was very nice and when the weather gets better he's going to come to a picnic with us. ACE! Then we said goodbye and walked off up different staircases, but ended up meeting at the top, which was rather embarassing. FYHCYWLAP = Floppyflaps?

i was just going to send this off to robin herself, but decided that it might actually be of interest to the rest of the list, too. (yes, all 1200+ of you) Robin Stout wondered:

well, i'd never bothered to look before, but it appears to be something like "reason and reality" by john polkinghorne. if i had the 12" it would probably be easier to see. i found a book in my school's library catalogue called "reason and reality," and i found an author named john polkinghorne, but not the two together. maybe if i get bored enough i'll go dig around the library and see if it looks the same. all the john polkinghorne books are physics books, and the listing for "reason and reality" lists it as a philosophy book. hm. as for FYHC YWLAP, i can't discern the book she/they are reading, but doesn't the evil girl look like fairuza balk of "the craft" fame? well, i think she does. maybe it's just the eye makeup. and on a totally unrelated note, has anybody else noticed the feature on the sinister website that says "greetings to ____, our newest list member" or something to that effect? has this been around for ages without me knowing? it's tempting me to leave the list then rejoin just to see my name there. um. -kerry "well it comes with the hurt and the guilt and the memories. if i had to take them with me i would never get from my bed . . .
