Duh. Galaxie 500. It's one of the nicest box sets ever made. Of course, NOBODY EVER FOLLOWS MY MUSICAL ADVICE, so I won't be offended if you get the Felt one. Even though it is surely not as good. Happy birthday to you! -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

i'm starting to feel that everything i post has already been asserted by another sinisterine by the time i get there, but in this case it seems okay: go for the galaxie 500. don't wait, don't pass go, don't collect $200. the only felt i have is igniting the seven cannons and one of the creation eps. it's okay, but it doesn't even come close to galaxie 500. "snowstorm", off of the on fire album, gives me the shivers every time i hear it. seamus On Wed, 6 May 1998, Boodle Boodle Boodle wrote:

Go for Galaxie 500. There is no way you can pass up this fine opportunity to plunk down your well-gifted money. "listen, the snow is falling" brings me to tears every time. Let me also take this time to tell all about the Madison, Wisconsin picnic that was held on Sunday, May 3. I was trying to think of brilliantly funny anecdotes to make this piece exciting, but I'm quite uninspired due to my present surroundings (university computer lab....some guy playing the bongos outside the window...) So anyway, the number in attendance was 3 ( myself included). The weather was drab and cold and misty. Lake wind ensured that our toes were frozen. We dined on such delicacies as Jumex tropical fruit pulp (now with a contour can and varying percentages of real fruit juice), Pims, strawberries and Nutella, a finely crafted potato salad (not too mustardy....Thanks Doug!), pasta salad with secret ingredients, and a steady diet of Belle and Sebastian. Topics of conversation included Porksicles, old men out looking for a Good Time, and whether anyone else was going to show up. All in all, it was a lovely 4 hours. I went home utterly frozen on the outside, yet thoroughly warmed on the inside by all of the good-will that was present. working on my status as lowest-poster ever, jennifer

As pretty much my favourite band of all time, I'd only tell you not to get the G500 box set if it wasn't comprehensive and beautifully put together. It is. I guess you know already, it's the three albums they released, plus a wicked CD of hard-to-get-hold-of 12" tracks, demos etc. There's a lovely booklet which I find hard to read cos it makes me all maudlin about them splitting. Buy the G500 box set. Wait 'til you're on your own at night-time. Put 'Tell Me' off the On Fire album on repeat. Pretty loud. Keep playing 'til the guitar part at the end fries yer synapses and makes ya sob. And grin like a fucker. regards, yerluvinuncleTurt ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
