isn't that from that arcade game Dance Dance Revolution? I wonder if there will ever be a belle and sebastian song in that game..........besides I

person 1 "which one's stevie jackson then?" person 2 "um, i'm not sure, he'll be there somewhere" me (stepping in to avoid any further embarrassment, sotto voce) "he's standing behind you, dear" Which leads me to believe that Steve was NOT saving those anonymous people from impending embarrassment (akin to the sort of embarrassment one would encounter if one were in the presence of a band member and your mobile rang,

A few things, since I'm supposed to be writing a paper and the best time to write posts is when you have more important stuff to do. 1) Sinister is grate. No really. I whine a lot about the volume of crap posts, but upon reflection I've realized that it's like, a squillion times better than other mailing lists. At least on Sinister we don't get the <pasted half of last post> + four words of your own + 8 line sig line that you would find on a list like, say, Stephinsongs. Thank you Princess Honey!! Parkandride is also a nice list and it is moving into the missprint family like an annoying stepchild, if you like those Camera Obscura people or you like to hear Matt and Martin call each other names, I suggest you join. 2) Some Jason guy said (after Christiaan quoted Butterfly): perfer Drum Mania =) Oh no! A Belle & Sebastian song on Dance Dance Revolution (or the European equivalent "Dancing Stage" if you're not capable of comprehending two Dances at once) would be the equivalent of Have You Never Been Mellow! Like, 4 steps total in normal mode, 30 in Trick mode, and 846 in Maniac mode. I can picture the boys in Chinatown with baggy pants rocking out to String Bean Jean, although I have to say that Jason is correct in saying that Electronic Renaissance would probably be the most likely B&S song to grace the machine. It's no Stomp To My Beat though. Also, the fact that Jason likes Drum Mania better clearly shows that he's on crack. DDR is, has been, and always will be the raddest game in the arcade. It's even radder than Para Para Paradise. 3) Carsmile Steve said: playing a jaunty little midi-like Family Tree. This has been discussed before.) but was rather IMPERSONATING A BELLE & SEBASTIAN MEMBER. "Why, I'M Stevie Jackson." That's not nice, Steve, and you know it. It's much nicer to just pretend you KNOW Belle & Sebastian members, as so many people are good at. In fact, I'm beginning to think that if you live in Scotland, you are automatically acquainted with the band either through stalking or the chance encounter-in-the-next-bathroom-stall. Wee Carey knows the band through the latter, and I hear that a certain listee peed next to Stevie Jackson last night. Did he peek? He won't tell. 4) England is nice. That's why Marie Elia and I are going there on December 28th. We're staying at the world famous Mell Street hotel. I hear several other listees have made reservations there for New Year's Eve as well, so I guess I'll be seeing you then. My card reader told me I was going to have a wonderful New Year's Eve. I would have preferred some info with a little more consequence, but hey, who am I to argue. And that is all you have to put up with from me today. xoxo Julie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
