Sinister: train thoughts

[Lila Matsumoto]

Hello people with confidence,
This is my first post.  I had to say that, because it seems to be some rite
of passage.  And I couldn't have slipped through the cracks, could I?
Someone was bound to find me and label me a fraud.
And I must say that everyone seems to know what they are doing, like those
people on busy streets who don't look left and right twice like I do.
I live in Florida, amidst the humidity and falling coconuts.  Anyone else in
Florida?  Someone once said that they would like to live in America.  And I
think:  Are you out of your mind?  Maybe in New York, with its subway
system, or somewhere else, but definetly not Florida.  Every time I go to
England I wish I lived there, but maybe this is a naive thought.  So I would
like to ask..  would you like to move to America?  And if yes, why?
I am infatuated with trains.  For some they are dingy but for me they are
wonderful.. .  I have only been on three systems, New York, Tokyo, and
London.  Admittedly some are shitty in smell and appearence but I love
riding trains, and feeling responsible and cool, listening the best of B+S.
I try not to make eye contact with the passengers, but I do stare at them
when they're not looking, and make mental notes about their dress and make
stories about their lives. I know I'm not alone.
My favorite band of the week.. Cornelius.  What a cool guy.  Horrible
haircut, however.

A list
#2 songs on B+S cds, excluding singles, in order from best
1.  Seeing Other People
2.  The Model
3.  Expectations
4.  Sleep the Clock Around

I love them all, the #2s.  For me #2 songs are significant in that they must
try to overshine the first songs on the albums.  I think numbers 3 and 4 on
my list succeed in doing that.
Thanks for listening to my palling incessant chatter.  You can go now,  to
do better things.

Lila

...On March 1997
I was the only one in the world humming a song
called "Just Like Honey"...
