just remembered that the single was bought in the middle of june 2000 in the legendary tunnelin levy, in the rautatientori trainstation in helsinki for the hefty sum of 40.00 fim

the sticker’s still on it for proof

hah!!

here’s some wonderful pics:

*sigh!

all of the above shamelessly purloined from belle&sebastian web

don’t mind much telling you that the summer of 2000 (& in fact way through november), siggimus had that single, fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant & jeff buckley’s mystery white boy to choose from

actually, most of the time lack of proper music to listen to didn’t bother siggimus much as most of the time he didn’t have anything to play cds on

in october, siggimus remembers having a radio & enjoying john peel once a week on bbc world. vividly remembers hearing idioteque from the then brand new kid a

not to forget the man

who’s coming back on september 16 to play laugardalshöll “arena”

apparently he’s bringing 3 bad seeds along to rock it up a bit

which is not to say he didn’t manage to rock that piano quite a lot that last time… punishing it like there was no tomorrow

i’m sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
i’m feeling very sorry in the thirsty dog

irrefutable proof of the fact that siggimus has indeed been in said thirsty dog

whoa!

now if this ain’t the partiest, summerest, festivest, happiest song ever, siggimus doesn’t know what is!?

now who can resist wiggling to that?!

l-o-v-e love, it’s coming back, it’s coming back
l-o-v-e love, it’s coming back, it’s coming back

refer to our discussions, confirm the terms of our love affair
i exercise all options, and i know i’ll see you there

ba-ba-ba etc. etc.

l-o-v-e love, it’s coming back, it’s coming back
l-o-v-e love, it’s coming back, it’s coming back

not withstanding provisions of clauses 1,2,3 and 4
extend contractual period, me and you for evermore

you’re the legal man, you’ve got to prove that you’re no liar
i’ll render services that you may reasonably require

l-o-v-e love, it’s coming back, it’s coming back
l-o-v-e love, it’s coming back, it’s coming back

get out of the city and into the sunshine
get out of the office and into the springtime
get out of the city and into the sunshine
get out of the office and into the springtime
get out of the city and into the sunshine
get out of the office and into the springtime
get out of the city and into the sunshine
get out of the office and into the springtime

it’s like a theme song to a tv series from the sixties about the superhero, legal man. such a shame that series never saw the light of day

*wiggle! wiggle!

*sigh

to assuage (the very few but at the same time not at all loud) voices crying for a peep out of siggimus, siggimus will say this:

yee haa!!

as you can see here (erm … written in invisible ink?), belle & sebastian are coming!!

they will play nasa on july 27 😀

siggimus vows to break out of his slumber/daze/stupor/hibernation/whatever to be there singing cheerfully along, “i went looking for my darling, i went looking for a sign/ and i found her in the morning, somewhere in the back of my mind”
