Sinister: Seasons and Silver Halide Coated with a Thin Layer of Emulsion
Hello Sininstines, Hm, I've just had a look at Ronnie Black's photo page and there are some really lovely photos of various members of B&S. I think he's got everyone in there somewhere except Stevie. There's a nice silhouette of Stuart David playing piano, and a gorgeous picture of Isobel in the dark with just enough sidelighting to make her profile. Er, the picture is gorgeous, I mean, of course. Anyway, they're quite neat, just thought I'd let someone else know besides Megan. I was so pleased with myself when I could look and say "Aha, he burned there!" or "He dodged there!" As far as all of B&S' songs sounding like Summer....no. That's totally wrong. Sorry. A lot of them, maybe, but I can't see how anyone could think "Fox in the Snow" would sound summery. For me I associate summer with sweat, heat, and sloth. Sweating because it's so hot and muggy, sloth because you don't want to get up and go about because it's hot and muggy and you'd get all sweaty. Summer is made 10-20 times worse when you don't have air-conditioning. I think summer is my least favorite season of the year. Having said that, there are definately some B&S songs that undeniably exude summer, especially from TWATTYBUS. For me, Sinister always had a quality of Autumn or Winter, probably owing in part to the fact that I first had the album in those two seasons. I just think that B&S, like most bands, have different feels to their songs for differet seasons. However sometimes this is determined by when you first heard it. I suppose if you bought all three albums and all the EPs over the summer, they'd always remind you of summer, even when they were singing about snow. All speculative of course. And for the record, I can't remember the last time someone used Autumn or Fall in an adjective sense. So I don't think anyone says Fall-ish. We use Autumn, too, BTW. /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick/Sandcastle Records <<->> bp224996@ohiou.edu \ / Sandcastle Records Homepage: ICQ#5056758 | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | -Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
