Sinister: Am compelled to post again, somewhat in response to postings of Kieran (sp?) and Christine Irene, though not directly B&S related until the end... Firstly did not know that Boards of Canada's "Aquarius" was used in a Mercedes commercial and am disheartened a bit but that's okay. Don't watch much tv anyways. And sure it's nice in a way for music to get out there in tv land but it can really ruin meaningful associations i have with songs. Like Pink Moon in the Volkswagen commercial and every Who song there is it seems. But I really like BOC and the newer album is good - "the devil is in the details" kinda reminds me of Kate Bush's "waking the witch" or something. I liked the Cage poem - was a pleasant reminder of "experiments" i did some years ago, obsessed with randomness. I had a little comic - the quigleys i think - a guy with his fist in his mouth and a lighter to his elbow with the caption "Bob makes a vain attempt to get high on himself." This sentence has 10 words, and I used the random number generator on my calculator to select one of the 10 words in sequence. I continued doing this, writing down the sequence, for a good while. I then recorded myself reciting the poem... get high bob a vain makes on himself a attempt a high bob get bob attempt high to bob on bob....etc. It was a lot of fun... Office Space is a great movie, especially if you haven't seen Friends that often... And to B&S...I got a ukulele for Christmas and learned chords and searched for B&S songs to play (which is how I found Sinster.) I played and sang the song Belle and Sebastian for two coworkers (who knew nothing of B&S in this suburban soundscape of Christina Aguilera and JayZ) here at the call center where i work and they both said they recognized the song. Now my question is....how? where might they have heard it? The only thing i could think of is tv? Or a really popular movie? Or maybe another song that sounds like it? Any ideas?
