Hi Everybody, that's right. This is my first mail-in. Just warning y'all. Think I'm from Texas now, don't you? My name's Nick. I'm a zen buddhist monk. Though primarily I just "am". I was ordained last January (in Japan) , but I live in Sydney Australia, so I'm not a monastic monk or anything like that. I'm 20. Am studying Arts at Sydney Uni - Religious Studies, Japanese, Art History and Buddhism. What else? Oh yeah, I work as a DJ on weekends (just 21st b'days and stuff, no 'real' gigs, so to speak, as of yet). I love movies, music, reading, talking, well, actually pretty much everything. Pleasure or Pain, take it with open arms, thank God you're alive. As a Norwegian Zen monk once told me. So, why am I writing to you? I love Belle and Sebastian's music. But they're not gods or heroes or anything more than ordinary people (in my opinion at least). They're obviously just wise guys with a wonderful gift. And the other reason, well, I've been reading your messages and you seem like interesting, alive, thinking people as well. So I'd love to be a part of your group. So, I look forward to enjoying the 'submissions' to the mailing list and enjoy the new album guys. Hey, it's not as if I've got it yet. I do live in Oz remember... Cheers, Nick Ps. I wrote this message two weeks ago but soon found out I was barred for that moment. I do have the album now. I really love 'Don't Leave the light on baby'. Btw, how's Legal Man faring in Britain? It's not that 'mainstream' is it? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
