Sinister: Barmy

[Matthew Henderson]

Hello everyone.

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd pop my head in and say 
'hello'.  So...hello.

A busker I met in London a few weeks ago emailed me the other day.  She said 
I was the most unashamed Belle and Sebastian fan she had ever met.  Who 
would be ashamed of being a Belle and Sebastian fan?  Surely they aren't 
filed in the 'guilty pleasures' section along with the Cars "Drive" or 
Loverboy's "The Girl is Hot Tonight", are they?

A conflicting report came from my co-worker, who saw my room last night.  He 
said I act pretty nonchalant about them, but I have posters of them all over 
my room, so I must be obsessed.  Am I subconsciously ashamed of liking them? 
  Is anyone afraid to tell people they are Belle and Sebastian fans?

I ordered a Belle and Sebastian coffee mug for use in a new coffee shop I 
sort of work in.  I hope Mrs. House or the rest of the Banchory crew don't 
mind.  Even if they do, I'm using it anyway.

Okay, I'm tired.  One last note:  In the recent belfast gig pictures, you 
can see me in several shots!  In one shot, you can see me holding a 
cigarette somewhere in the very front around Mick and Stevie.  Look for me!  
The back of my head looks terrific if I do say so myself.

-Matt
