--- i sent this a few days ago, but there wer some problems. so i apologise in advance if you get it twice because it got through and i missed it or something. --- hello. this is my first post in several months . . . you probably don't remember me, but this was in last week's new yorker magazine: "looper is the brainchild of belle and sebastian bassist stuart david, his visual-artist wife, karn, and his photographer brother, guitarist ronnie black. stuart sings and speaks with a soft scottish lilt, and the group's low-fi songs are infused with the sounds of children cackling, typewriter keys clicking, andother odd sounds. their performances are backed by karn's homespun video images of toy scooterw, tree houses, and spaceships. the net effect is a childlike exuberance that's still enver far from the cruelty of youth, a prime example of which is the lovely ballad "burning flies". i'll shut up now, -kerry http://hamp.hampshire.edu/~kwl96 "i'd be riding horses if they'd let me." -- palace, "horses" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
