hi there sinister, you're looking lovely - so many new and old email-faces in the last few weeks (steven kado! robots! the signified! etc!). and, like, reporting on struan in the bath, hello, new sinister heights of Reporting Back, oh yes :) Yes, i've been keeping up despite the snow. i'd like to second the praise of The Hidden Cameras. they are good stuff. press: http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2003-03-06/cover_story.php , which compares them to who? yes, belle and sebastian, noneother. you can listen to a studio session here: http://www.justconcerts.com/concerts/concert.cfm?Concert_Id=98&Concert_IsLive=0 eegh, that's an ugly link. however, it includes video footage (some of which features s.kado giggling). and also, they're on *rough trade* now. *and* they sometimes have t-shirts that say "music is my boyfriend"! how great is that? i bet that even the ever-hetero, ever-at-least-partially-well-intentioned mark casarrrrotto wants one. i also heart the aisler's set, but, like my love for ken chu's witticisms and ways with a collander, this has already been established many times over. sometimes i wish i were in the uk and/or europe so i could go to clubs and shows and elite brighton beach beer-tasting festivals. i've done it before. and i want it again. but i've got the snow to keep me warm! no, that doesn't work. i've got libraries and on-line databases and a whole wack of friends who can't get enough of big words and intra-departmental flirting. spring is certainly about to be springing and one can only worry/hope about what the shedding of winter clothing will promote... how long will the so-called, self-imposed moratorium on kissing last? how... long...?? the more i think about the new cronenberg film "spider", the more i really really love it. this is always the way with me n' cronenberg. i should be so lucky to find myself in a romantically similar position: initially lulled by what appears to be traditional narrative only to realize a certain creeping up of being creeped out and then to be mesmerized and wanting more, and then to be, yes, leaning my blissed-out head against the shoulder of Great Ideas in a corner at some party where it's getting late but no one wants to go home. would that it were. or that it would be. or... well, what i really need is a haircut. and some kind of small wearable/portable computer that doesn't clash with my style or mutable identity. or, for that matter, crash with it. oh, i can spell love, but my keyboard doesn't have those keys. fashion! technology! new lifestyle ideals! robyn! ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden@yahoo.com Montreal, QC __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
