Sinister: No. 13 baby

[Sarah Garrett Sonner]

Fellow sentimentalists,
 
It's time to briefly play "This Time Last Year," which
found me in a theater in Chicago standing a few feet
away from the stage, watching the band be
brilliant...at one point Stuart began a little a
capella of some lyrics I didn't recognize. It's fair
to say the audience was reactionless. He chastised us
all gently for not knowing a song by the band Chicago,
of whose plentiful oeuvre I might only recognize the
"More Than A Feeling" chorus if pressed. (Or was that
by Boston? er, one of those city bands.) I think he
may have even said we were too young to remember
Chicago. "The Boys Are Back In Town" rocked though,
especially with Beans stepping up to the mic. Thanks
to all who wrote about the live cover-playing--it's
nice to think back.
 
There's a late-night Woody Allen movie on TV now and
I'm drinking orange juice and writing to you all
during my latest bout with insomnia. Current local
news in Denver involves a hiker who cut off his own
arm with a pocket knife to escape after the limb was
pinned underneath a boulder. Would I do that? Y'know,
if a boulder fell on me? I have no idea. Thus ends the
overtly diaristic portion of this post.
 
Thanks to Ken for clearing up what those Pixies lyrics
are. I refrain from trying to quote Pixies lyrics for
the most part since it would be a bunch of Black
Francis's guttural yelps in among pearls of pithy
melodic wisdom like "I'm in a state...I'm in...a
state...I'm in...a state I'm in..." Unfortunately good
songs like that, intelligible lyrics or no, never get
stuck in my head. Instead it's stuff like this
morning's mental loop of the Spice Girls' "Wannabe." 
 
I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend. Back to the
woodwork.

PS: I have been wondering if my Christmas Exchange
recipient ever received the book I made. I was worried
about the packaging, as I'm better at sewing pages
together than sturdily taping the thing inside an
envelope, apparently.
