Sinister: Just like Jonathan Richman, I AM SO CONFUSED

***WEIRDNESS IN THE B&S CAMP***
I am extremely confused about recent developments in the "new B&S single
department" and was wondering if anyone could clarify.
(Anyone uninterested in the more anal details of release info etc. should
probably skip to the next post right about now ....)

(also, apologies if this has been mentioned before)

I went to amazon.co.uk today to order "The Season Has Arrived". I seem to
recall being told that it was coming out on November 12th. According to
amazon.co.uk it is being released in November 19th, although the US import
copy is available on the 13th. hmmmm ......... So, I went to the B&S band
site, and what should I find but a message saying

THE NEW SINGLE IS CALLED "WAKING UP TO US" AND IS COMING OUT ON NOVEMBER
26th! (Same b-sides by the look of it, different a-side, obviously)

Am I really out of the loop? What happened to "The Season Has Arrived"? Does
anyone know? Does anyone care? Very queer.

Also, according to the (not terribly reliable but better than nothing)
amazon.co.uk website, an album called "Storytelling" (presumably the
soundtrack to the film of the same name) is being released on November 13th
in the US. No UK release date.

(I remember when Jeepster used to keep me informed about these sorts of
things through their mailing list. I don't think I've had a Jeepster email
in close to a year ...)

OK, OK, so this sure is anal stuff to be posting about ... I just feel like
the kid at school who is the only one in the whose class to know some big
important secret.

(sigh)

onward ......

New Sodastream is *excellent* I know I said that in a post a week or so ago,
but truth be told, I'd only listened to it once when I posted saying how
good it was. I mean, I *knew* it was going to be good, I was just a wee bit
enthusiastic is all.

Wedding plans are driving me to drink .....
Confirmed tracklist for wedding ceremony is as follows .....

Entrance: Song To The Siren: Tim Buckley
Singing of the register: Northern Sky: Nick Drake
Exitus: Wouldn't It be Nice: The Beach Boys

Rockin'

OK, it's late ...... if *anyone* call fill me in on all this B&S stuff, I'd
love to know ... I feel like I've just come out of a coma.

Lawrence.

PS - favourite song title of all time, this week
"Are you STILL evil when you're sleeping?" The Siddeleys.
