Sinister: tigermilk vs. elephant shoe

[hay fever]

sinisters

i was sitting on the train yesterday morning at four am, coming home after a 
late brilliant show with modest mouse. and i come to wonder something about 
our friends belle and sebastian. how has the release of tigermilk effected 
your thoughts about them? i was wondering, has the magic gone away? is there 
less mysticism about the band, or is that just a dumb idea popping into my 
head? i know there is a lot of different aspects of the re-release. for one, 
i now hear "she's losing it" all the time on the radio. whats the deal with 
that? i wouldn't be suprised if tigermilk pops up as one of this weeks most 
played records on p3 (swedish radio). i was almost choking myself the other 
morning when i had my cup of tea and i picked up the local white trash paper 
in which they compared the release of tigermilk to to the release of the new 
star wars movie. it obviously also got five stars. next to three four 
country records being reviewed. i now what you are all thinking, "well now 
atleast everyone is able of hearing this masterpiece" and i'm obviously 
aware of this and i defianly think everyone should. this has nothing to do 
with the fact that i liked being the only boy in school who had tigermilk 
and that all the girls begged me to tape it for them, aye. obviously now 
they won't. but it is not about that, it's about the tale of belle and 
sebastian, brutally changing or should i say, evolving?

i'm probably make you all hate me even more, but i'm actually looking 
towards on hearing the new arab strap cd "elephant shoe" more then hearing 
the new belle and sebastian album (ooh well, let's just call it "the boy 
with the arab strap 2") - and i'm basing this on that unfortunatly i may 
fear that belle and sebastian are not evolving as good as arab strap, seeing 
that philophobia was better then the boy with the arab strap and if you're 
feeling sinister was better then the weekend never starts around here. and 
to be honest with you, i don't know if i like "winter wooskielf" and "family 
tree" that much. but i'm probably wrong cuz no one has ever done a record as 
good as tigermilk, so now i'm going to quit, calm down, ok?

i'm over the counter productive culture,
