Sinister: change in the weather

[PKHINTZ at xxx.com]

	As for a change in musical direction for Belle and Sebastian's new album, if
you listen to _Dog on Wheels_, _Tigermilk_, and _IYFS_, the songs always sound
like Stuart M's guitar with the added bits of the band.  However from _LLPJ_
and _3.. 6.. 9.._ and the radio sessions of the new album tracks on, the songs
sound as if the band has been writing these together, composing their "finely
knit musical sculptures" or whatnot as a group.  Seems to me that the new
album should be nothing to be frightened of--if it does frighten you, leave
the light on as you listen to it and hug your teddybear.  :-)    

	And, it does seem that "The Loneliness of the Middle-Distance Runner" is not
on the new album.  Will it be properly released as a b-side in the future?  I
read the short story by Alan Sillitoe called "The Loneliness of the Long-
Distance Runner" a few weekends ago.  It inspired me to start running again,
even if it seems the only result is that I repeatedly have to hear a slight
thud as my sneakers hit the asphalt and I lose my breath.  Then I take a nap
to compensate for all the expended energy.  ;-)
