Hey Sinister-ites, After attending two amazing Belle and Sebastian concerts last week at Town Hall, I thought it was about time I delurk. I had seen the band in concert for the first time during the summer, but the seat was too far away from the stage for my liking. It wasn't until the Town Hall shows that I realized how truly charming the band is...with their impromptu song requests and witty banter...I think the evenings can best be summed up from a quotation from the great film 'The Manchurian Candidate': "You just cannot believe how lovable the whole damn thing was...The days were lovable. The nights were lovable. And everybody was lovable." They were so lovable, in fact, that I am currently undergoing B&S withdrawal. Sure I have the records, but nothing beats seeing a great band perform two nights in a row. Well, it's probably best to keep the first message short, but keep the emails coming as I do enjoy reading them... red balloons & ferris wheels, shelley ...have i eaten my sister's chocolate pudding? You see, she didn't want it at dinner, but apparently did want it saved so she could have it before she went to bed. Well, good Christ, how was I supposed to know all that, Hannah? Who looks into the fine points when he's hungry? I'm eight years old and chocolate pudding happens to get me hot. All I have to do is see that deep chocolatey surface gleaming out at me from the refrigerator, and my life isn't my own. --'Portnoy's Complaint,' Philip Roth _________________________________________________________________ Compare high-speed Internet plans, starting at $26.95. https://broadband.msn.com (Prices may vary by service area.) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
