Sinister: Seasons and Silver Halide Coated with a Thin Layer of Emulsion

[Mick McMick * Sandcastle Records]

Hello Sininstines,
	Hm, I've just had a look at Ronnie Black's photo page and there are
some really lovely photos of various members of B&S. I think he's got
everyone in there somewhere except Stevie. There's a nice silhouette of
Stuart David playing piano, and a gorgeous picture of Isobel in the dark
with just enough sidelighting to make her profile. Er, the picture is
gorgeous, I mean, of course. Anyway, they're quite neat, just thought
I'd let someone else know besides Megan. I was so pleased with myself
when I could look and say "Aha, he burned there!" or "He dodged there!"
	As far as all of B&S' songs sounding like Summer....no. That's totally
wrong. Sorry. A lot of them, maybe, but I can't see how anyone could
think "Fox in the Snow" would sound summery.
	For me I associate summer with sweat, heat, and sloth. Sweating because
it's so hot and muggy, sloth because you don't want to get up and go
about because it's hot and muggy and you'd get all sweaty. Summer is
made 10-20 times worse when you don't have air-conditioning. I think
summer is my least favorite season of the year.
	Having said that, there are definately some B&S songs that undeniably
exude summer, especially from TWATTYBUS. For me, Sinister always had a
quality of Autumn or Winter, probably owing in part to the fact that I
first had the album in those two seasons. I just think that B&S, like
most bands, have different feels to their songs for differet seasons.
However sometimes this is determined by when you first heard it. I
suppose if you bought all three albums and all the EPs over the summer,
they'd always remind you of summer, even when they were singing about
snow. All speculative of course.
	And for the record, I can't remember the last time someone used Autumn
or Fall in an adjective sense. So I don't think anyone says Fall-ish. We
use Autumn, too, BTW.
