I have no clue how this has anything to do with Belle and Sebastian, other than the fact he has a few mix tapes with B&S songs on them. >> I was in DC too. My sister saw me on TV marching in the background. Things were actually pretty calm, although there were a few outbreaks of violence. Every single one I heard about involved the police hitting the protesters. It's true. we have pictures. I think there is one of me holding a "Death to Capitalism" sign. Steve Kado quoth like a raven <<at work today i noticed that beared men (not bearded men with trendy hair cuts, or with any tacky things like bad jeans or pony tails) have beardy pants. and these are BEARDED men i'm talking about, we mostly do classical music concerts at the glenn gould so these are classically bearded men and they all wear different pants than their clean shaven contemporaries. for real, theres just something about the *fit* of them, that screams BEARD! i bet they wouldn't even sell them to me if i asked.>> I had a mammoth beard I recently trimmed back. Now I'm checking my closet to see if my pants are secretly screaming "Beard!" I actually think they do. I don't wear jeans, bad or otherwise. I do wear a lot of corduroy, or surplus and patches Jes Sez <<Q - how do you know when a blonds having a bad day? A - she has a tampon stuck behind her ear and keeps asking 'wheres my pencil?'... >> ow. that just seems really uncomfortable. I must say that since i've been blond I have not done that. To myself or anyone else. Let's hope she put it in eraser-end first... I wanted to take a belle and sebastian tape to DC, but the car we were in only had a radio, no tape player. So we got to listen to talk radio or pop rock. I chose oldies when i drove... we also listened to Rush Limbaugh, who made the brilliant civil rights comment that police should just run over protesters who got in their way.. Never mind that the protesters were LEGALLY there WITH A PERMIT. Fucking asshole. I had to change the station or i would have lost my voice cursing at the radio. sigh. all we're saying is no masters, no slaves. love to you all dave, the moon man. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
