Sinister: Eleanor Rigby

[Bruno Gomes]

Hi all,

About these words by our listmum:

Is this the same ME that plays a center role in Douglas Coupland's "Eleanor
Rigby"?

In other news...

Imagine a scenario in which all of the bands below are playing in the same
summer festival, on 3 different days

Athlete; Basement Jaxx; Devendra Banhart; Fatboy Slim; Groundation; Josh
Rouse; Kasabian; LCD Soundsystem; Morgan Heritage; Oasis; Seed; The
(International) Noise Conspirancy; The Kills; Underworld

What would be the odds of the organizers being so crappy that DB and JR
would be peforming on different days? Yes, all the bands have their own
schedules and bla bla bla, but c'mon, this is what they arranged for day 2:
Basement Jaxx; Josh Rouse; Underworld; Seed; Fatboy Slim

Hardly a surprise, though, cos this is the same festival where B&S played
next to Rinocerose... way to go!!!!

(and who the hell are Groundation, Morgan Heritage, and Seed, anyway?)

And that's that for now, back to lurkerdom (and sorry for the lame post!)
