Sinister: You married a Communist!?

[Julie]

I'm taking a silly history class this summer, and for this class we are
watching a silly movie called One Two Three which stars James Cagney as an
American working for Coca Cola in Berlin in the early 60s.  He's trying to
make Coke the "first American company to penetrate the Iron Curtain"...that
is, getting Coke into Russia.  Of course I'm reminded of the good old days
when Magnetic Megan and I frolicked in Moscow,  checking all the Russian
arcades for Dance Dance Revolution, buying bootleg cds at the seedy cd
market, and making photocopies of our faces at the Coca Cola headquarters.
They make lemon Fanta in Russia, you know.  It's yum.  That, however, is not
the point.
Lately I've been having fantasies about Belle & Sebastian covering
Suspicious Minds, and I'm a bit worried about my sanity.  How great would it
be though?  Isobel and Sarah could sing the backup.  "We can't go on
together...with suspicious minds (With suspicious miiiiiinds), and we can't
build our dreams on suspicious miiiiiiiiiiiinds".  If that whole young
Elvis/fat Elvis vote thing were going on again I'd put my money on Fat Elvis
for that song alone.  I'm caught in a trap, I can't walk out...because I
love you too much babeeeee!
I'd like to welcome Phil to the list...you don't know him yet, but you will,
oh, you will.  Phil is a smooth and slender Asian boy who spends his free
time listening to hip hop and selling his underwear on ebay.  After shoving
some Magnetic Fields and Belle & Sebastian down his throat, I finally got
him to admit that "This whitey music ain't half bad!"  In return, I've been
listening to a lot of De La Soul.
The boy who plays the Commie in this movie is really cute, btw.
Yesterday two of my favorite people in the whole Sinister world posted, Mark
Casarotto and Marie-ree.  I was a little disappointed that Mark didn't talk
about his nob at all.  Maybe he hadn't had enough to drink before posting?
I think it's only fair that I warn all of you London lot that I'm applying
for a study abroad program there in the spring, so I might be in your city
for four whole months.  You might want to start planning a welcoming party
or else go about changing your phone numbers and moving flats now.
Now, after all the talk about the London picnic(s), I thought about how
there hasn't been a New York picnic in almost two years now.  I'm going to
plan one.  I'm hoping to organize it around the Shelflife September Set so
there'll be something to lure those of you who live and love on the
outskirts of the city into the city itself.  September set is grate and
always full of bands I end up loving two months after the show (ie, the
Lucksmiths, Aislers Set, Poundsign, Masters Of The Hemisphere in the last
two years)...so come for the show, stay for the picnic.  There'll be more
info forthcoming...exact date, location, etc, when I become more motivated.
And that, my dearies, is all.

xoxo
Julie
