Sinister: yeah, that's right

[Saint Virar]

Sinister:

Am compelled to post again, somewhat in response to postings of Kieran (sp?) 
and Christine Irene, though not directly B&S related until the end...  
Firstly did not know that Boards of Canada's "Aquarius" was used in a 
Mercedes commercial and am disheartened a bit but that's okay.  Don't watch 
much tv anyways.  And sure it's nice in a way for music to get out there in 
tv land but it can really ruin meaningful associations i have with songs.  
Like Pink Moon in the Volkswagen commercial and every Who song there is it 
seems.  But I really like BOC and the newer album is good - "the devil is in 
the details" kinda reminds me of Kate Bush's "waking the witch" or 
something.

I liked the Cage poem - was a pleasant reminder of "experiments" i did some 
years ago, obsessed with randomness.  I had a little comic - the quigleys i 
think - a guy with his fist in his mouth and a lighter to his elbow with the 
caption "Bob makes a vain attempt to get high on himself."  This sentence 
has 10 words, and I used the random number generator on my calculator to 
select one of the 10 words in sequence.  I continued doing this, writing 
down the sequence, for a good while.  I then recorded myself reciting the 
poem... get high bob a vain makes on himself a attempt a high bob get bob 
attempt high to bob on bob....etc.  It was a lot of fun...

Office Space is a great movie, especially if you haven't seen Friends that 
often...

And to B&S...I got a ukulele for Christmas and learned chords and searched 
for B&S songs to play (which is how I found Sinster.)  I played and sang the 
song Belle and Sebastian for two coworkers (who knew nothing of B&S in this 
suburban soundscape of Christina Aguilera and JayZ) here at the call center 
where i work and they both said they recognized the song.  Now my question 
is....how?  where might they have heard it?  The only thing i could think of 
is tv?  Or a really popular movie?  Or maybe another song that sounds like 
it?  Any ideas?

Sincerely, Arin
