Sinister: she summered every winter

[Robyn Fadden]

sinister!

wow, the pernice brothers! i saw them last night and it was great.
there was pop and rock and even ba ba ba's. and depressing lyrics!
and catchy hooks! my boyfriend said that someone should tell joe
pernice to lower the mic stand so he doesn't have to bend his knees
and sing 'up' and such, but i think that's just his style. right? eh?
yeah. i like him just fine. 

and stereolab on thursday. lots of stereolab goodness. and laetitia
on trombone. trombone! what a good instrument with all its slidyness.
and her haircut is good too. 

i did see the nick drake documentary at the film fest here. and it
had danish subtitles which i kept trying not to read and then
inadvertantly finding them funny b/c i was reading them as i would
read english. because i don't understand danish at all. anyway, the
film was good. and sad, but you know that going in, don't you? and it
was just lovely to hear nick drake songs in this big dark full
theatre with surround digital sound. it was double-billed with some
short films/videos for sparklehorse songs. my favourite being the guy
maddin film. guy maddin! yeah! he is the rocks. but the films were
part of an mtv show hosted by someone who's probably famous but i'm
too ignorant of such things to know him. actually, it might not have
been mtv - it was called 'sonic cinema', the show, so i don't know.
regardless, he reminded me of the chicken lady of kids in the hall
fame and i started laughing about 10 seconds after he started
introducing the show. and then my friends started laughing. and then
by halfway through everyone was just laughing at the guy no matter
what he said. it was *how* he said it, yo. 

i like how the list of b&s covers includes my embarassing entry of 'a
left banke song'. holy crap, i should do my homework and listen to
some music now and then so as to be able to distinguish songs and
their names. but really though i tried to make a mixed tape yesterday
and realized i have three times as many cds as i had the last time i
tried to make a mixed tape. *is* more better? is it? i've actually
been hurt when piles of cds fall off whatever surface they are on,
becoming plastic projectiles of pain headed straight for my bare
feet. 

yeah, so i thought i'd visit eng-a-land in november, but obviously
i've spent all my money on cds. i don't know.

i was a fairy (faeirie) for pre-actual-halloween. usually i am
something evil or dead or evil-dead. with blood. but i had this dress
(gown, some might say) i never wear and got bored of it's unwornness,
so i put some wings and glitter on. and my red boots, which i really
think are what fairies would wear if they needed shoes. later i drank
some gin out of a jar for a while. from what i observed it seemed a
lot of people were dressed as hunter s. thompson. or maybe just
*like* him.

just contemplating a graduate degree, not to worry.
back to working,
robyn
