Sinister: A Dream Of All the Bowlie Kids That Hang Around You

[David Moore]

Hallo,

Bollocks, there goes another reference to Camber Sands, sorry.

Oops, I think that bollocks is one too: "Oh my God, I just found out what
your bollocks is! I always thought it was your ass!" :)

Actually I don't know why I am apologising for mentioning ATP: I am
mystified as to why an activity common to a score of listees & half of Belle
and Sebastian should not be a suitable topic on Sinister.


Meatier, Beatier, Bigger & Bouncier

is what struck me on first listening to the promo of Geometrid I acquired
today. Of course I should really have put it away for a couple more weeks
before playing it, but I think that would be a bit silly. If I were
fortunate enough for someone to give me a copy of FYHC,YWLAP I would of
course listen to it immediately, seeing as how we haven't had a release from
the band for a millennium or so. I wonder how far one could take the "not
listening until official release date" position, anyway? What if Jeepster
posted pre-orders so as to arrive on the Friday before release Monday again?
Would you wait 3 days before playing it? And if so, at what time on Monday
morning would it be OK to start the CD player? 9 a.m. when the shops open,
or say, 10.30 a.m. as being the time when one would first get home from
town?

Anyway, Geometrid. I like Stuart David, & I don't think he smells of wee at
all. But I have to admit to being a wee bit disappointed that the album
gently waves farewell after a mere 35 minutes & 10 seconds. Leaving the
question of value for money aside altogether, the album is cracking, more up
tempo & diverse than its predecessor, & has more than one tune :) The
touching romanticism of the Stuart & Wee Karn story is absent, but the
humour isn't, & other childlike stories are told with that impish grin, to
toe tapping beats, with added bleeps'n bloops.

Excellent stuff, but I think I'm making it sound boring & its NOT so I'll
shut u


BTW, the Looper site lists UK dates in June, see
http://www.geometrid.co.uk/news.htm

or if you're too lazy:

Sun 4 Hove- Old Market

Mon 5 Bristol- Fleece & Firkin

Tues 6 Portsmouth- Wedgewood Rooms

Wed 7 Manchester- Music Box

Thurs 8 London- Camden Dingwalls

Fri 9 Harlow Square

Sat 10 Glasgow- King Tut's

Sun 11 Edinburgh (venue tbc)


Mick, if you're looking for somewhere to put rude Top Tens, why not ask
Honey to put them next to the Body Parts page, where I see that another,
thankfully blurry, winkle has emerged from its shell?


Love to you all,
