Sinister: I know where the Autumn Goes

[Joe Vester]

It goes south, you know, the Autumn, that is. It likes to take its hols 
during the Winter but generally hangs around there for a while, it's a bit
of a hippy, the Autumn is.
    I had a dream about Sinister. I was on the top of Primrose Hill, not in
the park, but on the road next to it. All the Sinister people were at the
bottom, and they all recognised me, even though I've never met them. They
were waving at me, so I started Running towards them, but with every step I
took, the hill got steeper, and steeper, until it was almost vertical. I
then got really scared and tried to run up it, but fell down and backwards,
but it was really high. Much higher than it looked, and I fell for ages, and
ages. Until I hit something and woke up.
    I think this is because in my dreams, no-one has faces, or at least
no-one I've not met does. I'm just not good enough at imagining them. It can
be quite embarrassing this and dreams with other people in are always
awkward. I just try to avoid them.
    The other dream I had was where Belle and Sebastian all get in the bath
with me, like in "String Bean Jean". Yeah, I know the Jo is a girl in that
song, but I quite liked that dream all the same. It's the only one I've ever
had that directly involves B&S, not just various people who like them.
    I bought This Is Just A Modern Rock Song and Dog On Wheels. I love them
both, although String Bean Jean is my favourite. I particularly like the bit
at the beginning with the bass guitar. It sounds like a Bond movie
soundtrack. I also love the way it says "Interminable Three Chord Break" in
the sleevenotes to TIJAMRS.
    The Gate has become my favourite Isobel song.
    Peter Carter, I will buy "This is Desire" as soon as I have some more
money, having blown it all on TIJAMRS and DOW (no, not the jones, obviously)
    I had some other stuff to say, but I've forgotten what it was,

Joe

OH YEAH! I remember! The picnic, the one on Primrose Hill. I WILL
(unintentional pun) be there. I also demand that, as this is my first
picnic, lots of people will also be there, And I don't care if you have to
come from Sweden, Australia, or America. Or even further afield. I doubt it
will have snowed, though. It never bloody snows in london.
