Well, I for one am very glad that the Sinister Nation is back in action. I feel like I should go pop open a bottle of champagne or something.. I did feel lost without this online list, Honey, and I'm very glad that it's up and running. Now: a question for the group. I'm making a tape for my mother, as she's heard some Belle and Sebastian playing in my room and liked it a lot. I'm going to put five songs or so, plus some Nick Drake, and some classical. The question is this.... what Belle and Sebastian songs are the ideal ones to introduce someone to the sound we all know and love? Yes yes, they all are good. I know. But a brief smattering of tunes will be easier for my dear mum to process, and if it's kept short she'll be able to learn the lyrics sooner, and improvise a little dance to go with it.... So, I toss the gauntlet to you, my sinister friends. What five tunes are the edge of the deep pool of music that is Belle And Sebastian? Not necessarily the "best" tunes, or your favorite tunes. I just want to find five songs that will show the scope, the spectrum, the many hued rainbow of delight we lovingly call B &S..... let me know.......... my mum thanks you in advance. love, dave +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
