Sinister: Wrote about it
I love you, Sinister, and I'm writing about it. I was innerlemming or lem or Laurel, and I was living in Chicago and I met and had good times with many of you, and then I broke my own heart and someone else's and ended up in Austin. Since I left you I met and married and now I've divorced and I'm finding my way back to the things I loved, and one of them is you (apologies, Carly Simon). New B&S albums always seem to come when I need them most and now is good. And I'm so cheered to see that Sinister is still here and it's the same, and the old folks are still kicking around here (Ken Chuuuuuu!), and we've got new songs to discuss and new days to Do Something Pretty in, and oh, Sinister, you'll always take me in. Tomorrow I have a long date with "Write About Love" -- I'm stubbornly putting off streaming it on NPR as sacrilegious, it's strictly a Tuesday-release-day-ritual thing -- and I'm sure I'll babble about the album then, but this about love is all about you.

Hello Sinister! If writing about music is like dancing about architecture, then surely the best way to Write About Love is to dance in, um, some architecture. Which is precisely what we'll be doing this Saturday at How Does It Feel To Be Loved? at the Phoenix in central London, at our annual B&S album special. Hurrah! If we'd have been sticking to our schedule then this year would have been "The Life Pursuit" but seeing as there's a new record it seemed like a good idea to do that. So we'll be playing every song from "Write About Love" over the course of the evening. Please come along for a dance. Ian x ------- How Does It Feel To Be Loved? Saturday Oct 16th The Phoenix, 37 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0PP, three minutes walk from Oxford Circus tube station, 9pm-3am, £4 members, £6 non members. Membership is free from www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk Guest DJ: Simon Balthazar (Fanfarlo) This is our annual Belle & Sebastian album special. This year it would have been the turn of "The Life Pursuit", but as B&S are releasing a new album at the start of October, we thought we'd feature that one instead. We'll be playing all of "Write About Love" over the course of the evening. We play: The Smiths * The Supremes * The Go-Betweens * Dusty Springfield * Belle & Sebastian * Love * Tammi Terrell * Aztec Camera * The Ronettes * Orange Juice * Beach Boys * The Temptations * Velvet Underground * Felt * The Shangri-Las * Primal Scream * Otis Redding * The Field Mice * Dexys Midnight Runners * Camera Obscura * The Four Tops * Melba Moore * The Orchids +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
