Greetings, I spent a very lovely evening today barely leaving my house, but oh I had so much fun. A friend of mine, who used to be barely more than an acquaintance in high school, came back from his first year of college apparently liking some of the music I was into. There were always a little bit of common ground...the Pixies...the Beach Boys, but nothing unusual. So I called him & we talked for a long time about music this afternoon. This evening I invited him over to listen to records. He'd pretty much become totally infatuated with the Magnetic Fields, but knew relatively little else. So, I tried to let him hear a bunch of things I thought would strike a nice chord with him. When I asked the question "have you heard Belle & Sebastian?" he came to an affirmative answer! =) Then I let him listen to a million and one records, CDs, and tapes, and he came out greatly liking #Poundsign#, Eggstone & Trembling Blue Stars to boot! Woo! I get to play the mentor role! Yay! In unrelated news, I spent a large portion of my day making my father a mixtape for tomorrow. I want to tape him a B&S song, as he's shown a bit of curiosity about them, but I don't know which song... He really likes the Beatles, the Beach Boys, & Steely Dan (hehe). Keep in mind that I've only got IYFS & Dog on Wheels (waiting for that EPs comp that has been pushed back FURTHER *groan*) and some stuff that is bad recording quality. Any suggestions? So far the best I can do is "Me and the Major." =D Oh, and if you're waiting for an e-mail reply from me, sorry, but I've been busy. It's also 5 AM right now =P If only my friends hadn't dropped by for ice cream with caramel...yummmmmmmmmmmmm......;) /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick@indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords@indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
