Hurrah (he said in Hugh Lauriean fashion), I'm out of the nursery. Feeling so adulty all of a sudden, I would consider breaking it of with Aloysius (my darling teddy), if I could stand to see him with another. Anyway... Hello everyone. Thought I'd write a few words about my self, one of my favourite subjects I'm sorry to say, as a form of introduction. I'll try not to make it to AAish. Hi, my name is Kjetil, and I'm a Belle and Sebastoholic... A reviewer in one of our tabloids wrote in his review of FYHCYWLAP that B&S was the favourite band of all "tea sipping literature students." He is of course completely wrong; I myself study art history (although I attended an English literature course at the time) and am outraged to be stereotyped. I live in Norway, more precisely the semi-delightful town of Bergen, were I do my best to waste my time and the tax payers money on a degree only fit for marriage to doctors. I've been a B&S fan since the winter of 98, when I picked up a copy of "If Your Feeling Sinister" of the embarrassing reason that the girl on the cover looked remarkably like one of my infatuations. Strangely enough I loved the music. It was the start of something new, what I like to call "A young lads odyssey of the magical land of indie-a." But now my wandering days are over (geeky, I know), or at least I have a map of sorts, so I don't get lost all the time and can return to loves old. With new determination to be a good B&S fan, I suppressed my fear of computers and joined the weird and the wonderful. So here I am, promising to post more interesting thoughts in the future. Love Kjetil P.S If we've started to discuss who could replace Isobel, I would suggest B&S got Aidan Moffat in, as a guest appearance, to do her bit on the next album. His voice has many of the same qualities. P.S.S I will now express my views on the match so Laurel, don't read on... Hurray (he said, now in a hooligan fashion, followed by a couple of "England, England") +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
