Sinister: judy and the dream of belles

[igh1]

i have to agree that it is quite curious so many listees 
seem to have dreams about people that, in general, they've 
never met.  saying that, however, i have had my own b&s 
dream which was bonkers to say the least, in which i was 
trying to convert my friends and then suddenly the whole 
group (but there were only five or six members - i told 
stuart that he had lost some people, but he wouldn't speak 
to me) turned up, and then left with my friends.  i chased 
them on a unicycle into a cave because i wanted their 
autographs, and rode upside down on the ceiling, weaving in 
between stalgmites (or whatever the ones on cave rooves are 
called) before looking down into this huge lake and seeing 
the reflection of all 8 members of the band there.  yet 
there was no sign of them anywhere, and when i looked back 
into the lake, the reflection had gone, and i fell off my 
unicycle into the lake and . . . woke up.  if anyone out 
there has joseph-esque (as in technicolour dreamcoat) 
qualities, please let me know what this dream means.  or 
alternatively call the men in white coats if you think i am 
a danger to society . . . :)

i don't think that people dream of the band members 
individually (just talking from personal experience here, 
so no offence anyone), but BELLE AND SEBASTIAN as a whole, 
as if the group were themselves one person.  this means 
that even if you haven't met them, it is still possible to 
dream of them, just like i have dreamt of other people i 
have never met (and they aren't necessarily famous, images 
just appear in my head) . . . of course, i'm probably wrong,
but i don't really dream of other bands, and i've only ever 
had the one b&s dream.  unless you count the day i bought an
original tigermilk, and dreamt there was a crease on the 
cover, and as i tried to straighten it out, i dropped it on 
the floor, and the corner creased, forcing the cover to kind
of float off in a puddle . . .  

on a final note (simply cos i like lurking, being one of 
the fabled creatures of the shadows etc), i'd like to say i 
agree with elzober.  now, i don't want to start a huge "i 
agree/disagree" debate here like the one that nearly 
killed our beloved sinister, so if you want to flame me or 
whatever please do it off list, but i don't see how anyone 
can say they like b&s and then promptly insult other 
members (usually isobel).  i don't know any of the band, 
and i've never met them, but even if i did, and for some 
strange reason disliked a member (although i'm sure i 
wouldn't :)), i wouldn't tell the list, simply because i 
know at least one of the band reads the list, as do many of 
their friends.  it just ain't fair.  people don't attack 
other sinisterines (usually), so why attack members of the 
band, especially when it is likely to hurt them???!!

okey dokey, that's all i'm going to say on the subject, and 
please reply to me off list . . . if you want to reply at 
all.

back to lurkerdom for me,
ian.
