Hi Lovers.... Many things on my mind, including: * Sand on a wet body, beachside. * Jealousy at my special friend Rachel Cornflake for not only singing onstage with Belle and Sebastian, but getting some smashing photos as well. * Pleased & excited about THE SOUND of THE NEW B&S; starting with Legal Man and extending into Jonathan David and now blossoming into The Season Has Arrived (which I just heard in its live version); presenting our Belles et Sebbys as being excited about pop music, and having the glee to show it. I hereby dub them as the Most Gleefully Soul-Searching band of today. * Urging anyone who took photos at the U.S. shows to post them, no matter how blurry or sweaty. Especially photos which document a fan being onstage with the band, as occurred so many times. Wouldn't you, if you'd danced on stage with our favorite band, want a picture of it? So get in touch with Rachel Cornflake, or Rachel "Smartly Dressed", or others, if you documented their moment of fame. They'll thank you. * Michael Jackson: If he wants to do ANYTHING for the victims of the attacks on America, he'll AVOID releasing any recorded music in the near future. Especially not a generic "We Are The World" type group-tribute. I appreciate where his heart's at, but Mike, we've suffered ENOUGH. * Lyrics: Have the complete lyrics to "The Magic Of A Kind Word" been posted yet? I've only seen the lyrics that came with the guitar tabs (thanks Mike K) but they only had the 1st verse. Shouldn't we update the Lyrics page on the Sinister site? Methinks so. * Bootleggers: Anyone surfacing with audio from the West-American tour? Send me some mp3's and I won't tell a soul. I swear. Really. I mean it. * Positive Thinking: Hang in there. Things are bad but not terrible. Love to you all (And a HUGE welcome-back to Joan of Dark); ~Brier www.brier.homestead.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
