Sinister: stop your incessant moaning, North Americans (this includes Candanians)

[Lawrence Mikkelsen]

hello folks

whilst I sympathise with all the East Coasters & Canadians who have been
moaning ad nauseum about the lack of gigs in said places, it does grate. As
Neil so wisely said, there are a hell of a lot of places where B&S haven't
been AT ALL. I mean, for heaven's sake ... at least Belle & Sebastian have
been to your HEMISPHERE. Take pity on the people who live in places nowhere
near where B&S have played. Like New Zealand, and Australia. (Neil's e-mail
bought a glimmer of hope to me .... if B&S play Australia I will
*definitely* take time off work and fly to Australia to see them ....)

I haven't posted in a long time.

This is mostly because my grandmother died about a month ago, almost four
months to the day my granddad died. sure, it's hardly "a heartbreaking work
of staggering genius" material, but I've been pretty down. I did actually
write a post a few days afterwards, but elected not to send it because it
was pretty bitter and twisted. she went into hospital with a minor stoke,
wasn't terribly well cared for, fell out of bed and broke her hip, and died
shortly afterwards, having been healthy and normal a few days earlier.
(sigh) It's been kinda sad the last few weeks, sorting through all of her
stuff (I'm her only grandson), throwing out a lifetimes' worth of
accumulated possessions.

news of a new Hefner album and single, and new B&S single and soundtrack
keep me happy and sane right now. plus working, reading and not going out.

well, hope all is well. will try to get back into the swing of things and
start posting again

PS - Nik Ovendon .... this is getting ridiculous :)
