Sinister: There and back again

[Philippe Garnier]

Hello Lovely Bunnies,

So Honey has just finished to defrost the fridge, et la vie est belle!

A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time, but moving from France to the
USA takes a long time too! I finally gave my two hundred quids for a flight
across the ocean. I don't know yet if life is better here, but it could be
much worse...

Did you recognize me? Honey-the-goldfish recognized me at first sight, and I
know you can do it too! Need some help?
Bad english, french accent, one L...2 P's...you got it! I am Philippe!

Well, I have a lot of things to tell you. Don't worry, it won't be too long.

First of all, the brit awards stuff.
I think it is the greatest joke ever! I am still laughing...
And Mister Waterman is soooooo cool!
(I just wonder whether Jeepster really needed to reply to Waterman's
statements in the Sun. Is there anybody here who really care about what's
written in this f***** paper?).

Second story : the Belle and Sebastian new mailing list run by Jeepster :
 As Honey said, Sinister is less a fanclub than a garden when friends meet. If
people from Jeepster want to consolidate the dedication of the fans, well I
think the concept of 'consolidation' doesn't belong to the B&S spirit... By
the way, Belle and Sebastian don't belong to anybody.
Several times David sent messages to say that there was no use for people to
create their own small webpages about the band ("because all the information
is already on the Jeepster's site" dixit Mister Cuisine). So why creating a
new list when  this is already one called Sinister? Is it because Sinister get
a cold from time to time? I hope it is not the reason...
Let's see what they want to do exactely. They might have designed a wonderful
brand new concept of mailinglist :)
Of course Jeepster can decide to create a new list without asking for our
permission. They are big kids. I just hope they have something better and/or
new to propose! If their new list is just a kind of carbon copy of Sinister
(let's call it Jeenispster), it sucks.
I feel good on Sinister. Mayby I will sometimes play in other gardens in the
future. Mayby in jeepster's garden. I hope the ones who like to swing on the
swings in the Sinister's park will not leave it even if the Jeenipster Park
has new electronic state-of-the-art swings!
Sinister is my favourite garden, and Honey is the most beautiful goldfish in
its pond!

Lesley, if you are to come to arizona, it is not that far from Utah! I would
be happy to meet you some day and help you to learn old songs by France Gall :)

Before i leave: the new Smog album, Knock Knock, is absolutely fabulous. All
the songs are great, and "Teenage Spaceship" is one of the greatest song ever.
Just some little stories about life, love... just a little bit sadness to be
overwhelmed by happiness

That's it for today. Next time I will have to ask you something about... boamers.

Love&Swings
Philippe, one L, 2 P's

PS : Lisa, I would love to swing on your swings too :)
PPS : Kin, Posts (french and US) are against be these days... it's too bad
that you didn't receive the tapes! I have a copy of the tapes i sent to you
here, so I will send them again to you asap. I hope you don't get too mad at
me (though you would have good reasons to...). I am really sorry.
