Sinister: B&S, bs and my feeble attempt to say something here.
To start things off, Fluffy Sarah said:
Didn't Stina Noredmemsndgshgtstan cover some really cheesey song by some hoary old soft-rocker?
Well she covered some Leonard Cohen on her "People are strange"-album. Is he a "hoary old soft-rocker"? Dunno. And hey, whos song is "I Dream Of Jeanie (with light brown eyes)"? That's on the same album too. I've heard the original version too, but I can't remember who performed it. And I think it was Beth, who said something like "Flaming Lips kick ass!!" Hmm. I've tried to listen to them, but I really can't say that I got it. Don't know why. And tomorrow it's a day off for us from the neverending cycle of worklife. Thank god for Jesus. Without you and your daddy-o we couldn't go out tonight (well we could, but we'd be pretty tired the next morning). And I don't even know why we don't have to get out of bed tomorrow. But then again, I'm an agnostic who's not paying any taxes for the church, so why should I care? And now for something conserning Belle & Sebastian. Hmmm... How should I put this... Is it true that Jeepster is going to stop selling B&S- merchandise? Heard it from trustworthy sources. Well, I don't care anymore, since I've got my buttons, "Study at Stow"- t-shirts and "If youre feeling sinister"-shirts. But is there a a specific reason for this, or is it just because Belle & Sebastian is getting too commercial and all those dimwits who got into B&S after TBWTAS think it's a credible thing to wear a shirt of a band they've only really dug for about 6 months or so (and yes, this is supposed to be irony)? And like they said in Select-magazine, does it make you a better person when you can say "Yeah, they used to be better back in the good ol' days when they weren't this big." If it does, well then fuck off. Stupid twat. @--->--- a rose, love and other stuff that makes you feel funny in your tummy, Frankko, who likes his new nick so much that he decided to stick with it. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

I don't mean to offend anyone which I am sure is not an effective disclaimer, but I was hoping someone would agree with me on this subject, and I think Frankko is the first. I bought a Mercury Rev album (Deserter's Songs) the other day, and although the music is nice and catchy, that voice reminds me too much of the guy from the Flaming Lips. I truly without sarcasm can't understand why people like that screechy, high-toned voice. I saw the Flaming Lips about three years ago, and the show they put on was not bad, but it takes every iota of strength for me to put up with his voice. Just to give some ammo to those who are going to be attacking me, I like the Trash Can Sinatras, Donovan, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan (I like the lyrics, not the voice), and a lot of other mellow stuff which may explain why I don't like FL. Sorry to waste the list's time with non-B&S info, but I just had to get that out. Also I apologize for any offense taken....all in good fun, eh? :) Justin W "Often I tried the frightening way of "reality," Where things that count are profession, law, fashion, finance, But disillusioned and freed I fled away alone To the other side, the place of dreams and blessed folly." +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
