Sinister: ...and i left my friends behind me...

[chris perriman]

hello left handers

something occurred to me whilst reading Anthony Saunders' mail
everybody's favorite belle and seb record seems to be the one they heard 
first.  personally i consider '...feeling sinister' as *my* album as no one 
else i knew had heard of b&s when i got hold of it and it got me through my 
gcse exams (i went through a phase of listening to it every night on my 
walkman and wore the tape out and had to get the cd)
the two latest albums didn't really *do* it for me, if you know what i mean, 
but i adore tigermilk coz a friend bought it fo my for my birthday this 
year, on vinyl too, i suppose b&s records hold sentimental value for me more 
than other bands, they're not my favorite band in the world (well, equal 2nd 
and definately in my top 5) but i love them for different reasons to other 
bands and they are very, very special to me. did this ramble have a point? 
mail me if yiu can figure one out.

don't you think 'i fought in a war is just so incredibly sad? people always 
ask me why i listen to melancholy, down music but i find it all amazingly 
uplifting and it helps me get through when shit is getting *me* down so i 
suppose it all goes round in circles.  i think i'll give 'fold your 
hands...' another go and learn to love it.  incedentally 'fold your 
hands...' reminds me of charles de gaulle airport in paris where i had a 2 
hour wait between planes on my way to barcelona last month and i listened to 
FYHCYWLIP whilst sitting in the departure lounge and it'll forever remind me 
of that.
CDG airport is the one on the front of the new U2 album.

someone mentioned customising badges from boring crap to something you can 
wear, i took this on board today and changed a badge i had picked up a a lo 
fidelity allstars/regular fries gig with 'sneaker beaters' written on it and 
stuck on with sellotape the words 'on the leeds side-streets that you slip 
down,' this is for my aforementioned friend, cathy, who has moved to leeds 
for uni so i think it's kinda appropriate.  on our way to the leeds festival 
this year cathy (how come cathy and leeds are recurring themes her?) and me 
saw some cows on a hillside so she sand 'punctured cows, on a hillside 
desolate' and we spent the rest of the journey singing smiths songs but 
changing vital bits to the word cow, it's grate fun, you should try it.

cow in a coma
if a double decker cow, kills the both of us
reel around the cow
this charming cow

see? hours of fun

bit tired now
think i'll go to bed
see ya cats of all ages
