hello you There's nothing wrong with Pirouette Park!! Okay, so maybe it's not *hard*, but then again, it is the only area with an explicit Belle and Sebastian reference in its name! Plus, all the best people were there, of course. and it had a pink ostrich as its logo. Admittedly we missed out on the remote wanking device, but we did hear someone playing 'Away in a manger' on a kazoo through the wall. Horrible decor though, our chalet. The light-shade scared me. Highlights of Bowlie: Well, you've heard them all before, i guess. But the impromptu gig in the car park was just great; from then on i knew we were in for a superb weekend. Cornelius was fantastic - i only wish i'd seen the whole show. Jon Spencer rocked and rolled, as ever. And those Glaswegians, well they just ruled! I must say, Winter Woofter is much better than Paper Boat, not nearly as, ummm, catchy? (irritating!) More Flares and NHS specs than you can shake a stick at. And, I bought Tigermilk in one of the shops in Cambersands. Only £4.50. Made in Macedonia. Lowlights of Bowlie: Missing the football, the picnic(s), and the beach party. Mercury Rev - I saw them a few months ago and they were incandescent; but at Bowlie, after being on tour for months and months, they seemed tired, on heroin, and.. well,... their songs had gone a bit Aerosmith, if you know what i mean. And, of course, the Pontin's camera-kill squad. I was right next to a girl who had the film ripped from her camera during B&S, and it was so unnecessary and just a bit cruel, I thought. frankko/jarkko wrote:

Well I'm listening to dEus quite often. And Stina nordenstam! I thought I

was the only one in the whole of Europe who liked her music. Not a chartbreaker, her. Anyone else into her? been trying to get some of her singles, but it seems impossible to order them from anywhere. Not that good music to listen to when the sun is shining, though. Perfect while sitting at home while its raining and the thunder is roaring outside. Very relaxing the old stuff. New stuff is so claustrophobic it's almost scary.

stina's great - the first two albums are gorgeous, sweet and strange, quite minimalist. the third album grew on me, but it took a while. she's done a covers album, but that one's just scary! i say 'covers', but she only seems to have used their words, and made up her own weird tunes - very dark and, ummm, well i don't really like it. I know Honey is a huuge fan, so I shall probably be expelled from the list for blasphemy, but it isn't exactly easy listening. Speaking of which, i just bought a Free Design album (Kites are Fun), and it's rather nice. Could anyone in the know please recommend me with another of their albums, as there are quite a few and i can't afford them all! The new Luna album's quite nice - there's a rather good cover of 'Sweet child o'mine' on it! Much better than their last album, at least that's my (humble) opinion. Ah well, I've gone on far too much already, so I shall stop here. byebye Rob P.S. whoever recommended going to see Prolapse, you've made my mind up - i shall go tomorrow. But if they're pish, i shall be forced to kill you. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
