Hello everyone. I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd pop my head in and say 'hello'. So...hello. A busker I met in London a few weeks ago emailed me the other day. She said I was the most unashamed Belle and Sebastian fan she had ever met. Who would be ashamed of being a Belle and Sebastian fan? Surely they aren't filed in the 'guilty pleasures' section along with the Cars "Drive" or Loverboy's "The Girl is Hot Tonight", are they? A conflicting report came from my co-worker, who saw my room last night. He said I act pretty nonchalant about them, but I have posters of them all over my room, so I must be obsessed. Am I subconsciously ashamed of liking them? Is anyone afraid to tell people they are Belle and Sebastian fans? I ordered a Belle and Sebastian coffee mug for use in a new coffee shop I sort of work in. I hope Mrs. House or the rest of the Banchory crew don't mind. Even if they do, I'm using it anyway. Okay, I'm tired. One last note: In the recent belfast gig pictures, you can see me in several shots! In one shot, you can see me holding a cigarette somewhere in the very front around Mick and Stevie. Look for me! The back of my head looks terrific if I do say so myself. -Matt <instead of a quote, just think of the riff from the Fall's "Barmy"> _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
