Sinister: Commie B&S propaganda and the end of the world happens just as I get to see Marine Research and Harvey Williams

[Mick McMick * Sandcastle Records]

Hello Funsters,
	I was thinking to myself that a nice listen of "I Know Where the Summer
Goes," would be apt, and as I was doing so, I took note of the cover art
once more. What should I notice on the EP but a hammer and
sickle-looking flag lying below the fellow who did Postcard. Anyone know
the story surrounding that? I must say I'm curious. Am I correct in
remembering them saying B&S are socialists? I don't really mind them
brandishing a communist flag, at least the communists got the socialist
bit right...
	Anyway, it must be Murphy's Law that the world would end on Sunday. I
was looking forward to seeing a nice show, too. My houseguests will be
pissed, I can tell you that. Who does that Amadeus fellow think he is,
anyway? You know there was a religion based here in the US once upon a
time. Seems they thought that the world would end on...eh, well I forget
the date, but it was sometime in the 19th century. Well, the day came
and all of the members of this religion (I'll be nice and not call it a
cult) came out to worship for their last day on Earth...then the day
passed and nothing happened. As you might imagine, they don't have quite
as many adherents these days.
	I also recall something about an interesting Utopian society. They
decided that none of them would have children, ever. They added to their
ranks by converts, rather than having children. Funnily enough, they too
aren't around anymore.
	Wouldn't it be impressive if I could somehow connect that factoid with
Belle & Sebastian? Well I can't, so I'll end here...
