Sinister: somebody i've never met but in a way i know...

[Matthew Henderson]

Hello everyone,

So it seems I missed belle and sebastian on John Peel the other night.  
Perhaps i'll hear it someday.  I heard the christmas show, but I still 
haven't heard the peel session previous to that.  If anyone knows where I 
can get it...

The Christmas Peel Session was fantastic though, wasn't it?  I certainly 
loved it.

I woke up at around 3 pm today.  I'm in one of those crap moods.  I have 
nothing to do tonight really, so it's a Saturday night inside.  Those are 
always so depressing.  I was thinking that when I decided to finally check 
belle and sebastian's website to find, lo and behold, Mr. Murdoch 
(yessssss??? where is heeee???) wrote something along those lines in his new 
diary entry.  I quite enjoy his diary (is it called a blog?).  Much more 
than most blogs I've read.

I started a Clash Diaryring last year out of boredom, and everyone who has 
joined has been a whiny bucket of annoying.  Terrible blogs about how 
depressed they are, how much they just LOVE MAYNARD and/or Trent.  Those 
poor white suburban American teenagers.  Their parents just don't understand 
them.  Now my blog is often no joy ride, but I like to think I have some 
moments of sheer happiness.  Nothing as such on these.  It's as though the 
youth of blogging America are trying to outdo the others with problems and 
depression, as though it's some sort of street cred.  Of course, I know 
first hand these people, and I can't stand them really.  And I feel sorry 
for them.  How can you not feel sorry for a strict Christian who is also a 
pregnant, 18 year old "Wicca" who also happens to be a lesbian with a male 
fiancee in New York.  And cocaine is in that equation somewhere.*  With a 
life as rough as that...

I think people should just lighten up.  Putting on the clash or a nice belle 
and sebastian record (which i don't have very many of as they are in 
storage, should I rebuy them?).  OR!  Put on Big Audio Dynamite's "Super 
Hits" (Best 3 pounds I've spent in a while) and listen to that force of 
nature that is the opening drum beats of "E=MC2".

Of course, the downside to listening to that right now is I'm excited and 
full of energy.  It'll be a while yet before I'll feel the need to sleep, 
and I don't much like sleeping these days anyway.  I'd love to go dancing or 
just sit in a pub or whatever, but my fate is sealed.  It's going to be a La 
Dolce Vita night.

-Sightsee MC! Matt.

*Not to say that's a real person...
