hey all you berkeley sinister listers....where were you??? i wore my brand-spanking new study at stow shirt yesterday, and not a single person walked up and threw their arms around me, nor did anyone even stare at me strangely. let's make a deal where every time you see someone in a B&S shirt you walk up and introduce yourself. by the way, speaking of excellent music, everyone should got out and give a listen to joan baez. only her earlier stuff. i highly recommend "THE FIRST TEN YEARS" album, if only for the joy that is "sweet sir galahad." plus you get lots of other great songs, and it is a friendly introduction to the sweet-voiced old folkie. you can find it very cheaply on vinyl used, which is a boon to the poorer among us. why joan baez? well, for me it is nostalgia of a sort....reminds me of my childhood, my parents were folkies, you see. the music is very sincere, there are a number of fabulous protest songs, and she sings some bob dylan songs. this is good, because dylan is an excellent songwriter, but he cant sing worth crap. it is good to give his songs to others. her music is very laid-back and smooth, yet filled with emotion. her voice is clear and calm. well, that is all i can think of to say. bye. robin. am i talking too fast or are you just playing dumb if you want i can write it down +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

let's make a deal where every time you see someone in a B&S shirt you walk up and introduce yourself.
If i ever saw someone wearing a Belle and Sebastian t-shirt, i would probably cover them with hugs and kisses just out of the excitement of finally chancing upon someone who found Belle and Sebastian fashionable. Actually, i'd probably be too shy, but i'd for SURE say hello and compliment them on their shirt. Maybe if they sent properly reassuring signals, i'd cover them with hugs and kisses after i finished my awkward introduction. Every time i wear my Study at Stow t-shirt (which, in fact, Goon, is a little bit too big for me, so it's a good thing i got that M and not a L!), i feel this overwhelming sense of potentiality. At any minute my ordinary day could turn extraordinary as someone stops me on the street and covers me with hugs and kisses. Unfortunately, though, it never happens, and i keep having people ask me, "Study at Stow, what's that?" One friend of mine who is acquainted with B&S thought "Study at Stow With Belle And Sebastian" was a tour shirt and that B&S was supposed to have opened for a band called Study at Stow in Philadelphia. Then i feel somewhat obsessive when i have to give the history of Tigermilk and Electric Honey Records in order to explain what, up until then, had been an excitingly cute shirt. That didn't stop me from wearing my Study at Stow shirt three days in a row the other weekend. (Don't look at me like that! I wore it on top of a different long-sleeved shirt each time, and i always smelled it to make sure it was clean! Oh pish, you'd do the same thing if YOU had a brand-new baby-blue Study at Stow t-shirt, too, admit it.)
