ha! don't be fooled by the subject line. my heart was NOT broken last night. i had you going there for a second, didn't i? i thought so. now onto business. 1. the other day, no sooner did i post, grab a sandwich, and return to my computer, that several emails were waiting for me that stated "pale skinny guys are sexy". i really must have lost the memo on that one. actually, i don't think i ever got it. so i celebrated that precious kernel of truth by getting lambasted in the sun today. so i'm not pale anymore. i'm just a lobster. this is a good look for me. very very red. well at least now my blushing won't be so awfully visible. so i'm pale no more. at least for a couple more days. wheee! 2. i just got contacts and they are ripping my self confidence to pieces. i just can't open up my eye to either stick those things in or rip those things out. i do achieve my goal eventually, albeit thirty minutes after i start. i think it will get better. i hope. i pray. love me, contacts, love me. 3. i listened to FYHCYWLAP last night. hmmm. i still just don't know what i think. i think i liken it to suede's "head music" (no sighs, no laughs, no groans!)--i consider both EPs. there are some songs that are brilliant and grate and lovely and represent some of the group's finest work but some of the other songs are just blah blah blah and i skip right past them. i can't get enough of "the model" and "there's too much love" (the latter being one of my favorite songs ever) but was there a need to put "beyond the sunrise" or "nice day for a sulk"? (i'm sorry the latter hurts my ears. anyone else struan is off key on this song? i don't think it's been mentioned on this list before) so it's a mixed bag. and it's way too overproduced. that's the B&S snob in me. i want more anonymous noises like the cardigan zip on "expectations". more more more! maybe the unzipping of isobel's skirt? boy that would make a track memorable. oh doctor. oh me. oh my. 4. sorry for posting twice in such a short amount of time. i will now go into hibernation. for another week or so that is. hardy har har love blake the nerdy shy eyed pacifist the palace of heartbreak - http://members.tripod.com/nucleartrout - newly updated! more stuff for everyone to suffer through! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
