Sinister: stop crying your heart out

[anakin_sky at xxx.net]

hello people,

    i feel like expressing my opinion about isobel´s exit from the band.
apart from her cello genius i think isobel has sung some of belle and
sebastian´s most beautiful songs, my personal favourite is "waiting for the moon to
rise". true, she didn´t have a professional singing voice, but i think her voice
was unique, it added to the specialness of the band. i will certainly miss
her, and i´m really glad that i have seen the band at least once before she
left, which was in rotterdam in april, and which was truly wonderful. however,
isobel´s constant depressive appearance got on my nerves, it was especially
visible at the rotterdam gig, when the rest of the band was in excellent form
and really funny, and she just stood there and looked like she was going to
die. this is probably unfair, though, as most people here, i suppose, know how
it feels to be depressed and not be able to find a way out. sometimes you
just can´t help it, you fuck up other people´s good mood and cool times because
you feel so shit. you are completely obsessed with yourself in that moment,
you´re totally unable to pull yourself together for the sake of everyone
else. i know this is crap behaviour, but as i said, sometimes you just can´t help
it although you should. 

    i know i mentioned austin before, but at the moment i am completely
obsessed with texan bands, or actually american indie bands in general.
originally i am very british-based concerning guitar music, so i´m just discovering
all that stuff from labels like tigerstyle, temporary residence, and better
looking. that explosions in the sky album is just one of the most head-fucking,
mind-blowing, destroying pieces of music, and they will come to europe in
autumn! they will play in germany in october though, and i´m moving to
manchester in september, but, thank god, they´ll be in birmingham on 11 september
(what a date, and with THAT name!), and in leeds september 16. i´ll be there.
definitely. 
the american analog set, and tristeza, both on tigerstyle, they are also my
favourites. saw tristeza in april, and amanset just 2 weeks ago, both
incredible gigs, and incredible nice people, especially amanset. 

    yes. nothing more to say, i think. apart from this: what happened to
astrid from sweden, you still around? on the list i mean?

    i hope you are all fine, also isobel...
       love, anne.

ps: i guess most people didn´t give a fuck about germany in the world cup,
but i was really sad yesterday. they have played well, though, really...
