dear sinister

i was going to send you an email about the haldern festival last week, but then i read dimitra's brilliant post and that said 
it all, really. and then anakin pointed out some things that made sense too, though i did enjoy b&s. the setlist was better 
than rotterdam, the sound was not as good as rotterdam, and the rotterdam gig was somehow more relaxed. 

meeting people that love b&s is a strange thing: for a long time they were my personal musical secret. and then you go 
to a festival and meet people that love them too, or more, and know much more and have seen them a thousand times. 
and your little secret is no more. it's good that all the people i met were extremely nice and sweet, and the feeling that 
people that love b&s share something, no matter where they are, became very real.

seeing oliviers t-shirt in haldern made me remember something, and yesterday at my partents i checked it out and i was 
right: when my mother was young she got the single of the belle and sebastian tv-show. she still had it, and apparantly (i 
only remember very vaguely) i loved the first song on it, it's called belle. very sweet, probably a child's voice, and some 
guitar strumming. the sound was horrible, all cracks and hiss. next time i'll bring a guitar to my parents and learn to play 
the song. there was also a song called belle and sebastian on the record, but that wasn't as good, and didn't have any 
singing in it.

big hello to everyone i met in haldern, especially the girlies. and dimitra, i would sing a song with you any day. love,

marcbots
