Sinister: was elvis at the taping?
Andrew Dean wrote: thanks for that leslie. but are you sure this was '...elvis' and not '...fakers'? i can't see them doing '...elvis' live as there's too much to remember... It was indeed "..elvis" -- He read the words from a notebook and I didn't hear much of it due to sitting directly behind Stevie's amp. On another recent topic: I am the parent at our house (sigh). My son and I first heard "Sinister" at the same time and both loved it. I probably bought it first--having more disposable income-- but we each own everything that has come out thus far (except the fabled Tigermilk of course -- altho' I believe he has arranged to get a tape). He was kind enough to bring me to the PBS taping, (which was probably smart of him because who else would have been able to get him excused from school for it). Surprisingly, while we might disagree from time to time, we rarely hate each other's musical tastes, which has been pretty nice all in all -- music has given us something to do together as he has grown up. I have to say I'd rather go to shows with him than with most of my friends, who rarely want to go anyway. He started out being a captive to my taste, and then began contributing to mine as he started listening seriously and needed me along to get into shows. Now he can go on his own. I usually decline his invitations to come along as the crowds are much younger than I, and I often feel out of place. That's one wonderful thing about B&S: the music transcends age. Everyone can love it because it is beautiful and universal. Anyhow, this parent loves Belle & Sebastian and will now pretty much go back to lurking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I've been feeling rather old at concerts for quite a while and have long since given up jumping about with 15-year olds at the front. I try to retain my dignity (and cool!) by nodding appreciatively at the back, as befits a 30-year old with excellent taste in music. I saw Belle and Sebastian play the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh earlier this year and the first thing that struck me was the amount of late-twenties and 30-somethings who were there. I wouldn't go so far as saying that the average of the band was lower than the average age of the crowd, but it _was_ a nice change!
