The Stars of Track and Field B--------------------F#--------------E------------- Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs B--------------------F#--------------A--------------- Kissing girls in English, at the back of the stairs G-----------------------------------------B-------------- You're a honey, with a following of innocent boys E-------------------- They never know it B----------------------- Because you never show it B-----------------------F#-- You always get your way They never know it Because you never show it You always get your way Have you and her been taking pictures of your obsessions? Because I met a kid who went through one of your sessions In his blue velour and silk You liberated A boy I never rated And now he's throwing discuss For Liverpool and Widnes You liberated A boy I never rated And now he's doing business The stars of track and field, you are The stars of track and field, you are The stars of track and field are beautiful people Could I write a piece about you now that you've made it? About the hours spent, the emptiness in your training You only did it so that you could wear Your terry underwear And feel the city air Run past your body Could I write a requiem for you when you're dead? "She had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head" She never needed anything to get her round the track But when she's on her back She had the knowledge To get her into college But when she's on her back She had the knowledge To get her into college ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

God IRC is adictive. anyway! This time of year i think its time that, well, i was going to say love each other, but i've just seen how ugly Steve Lamaq looks so i shall change that to start a fund to hide Steve Lamaq in a corner away from photographers 4eva....am i making sense? no? goody. um, yes anyway, i meant to say isn't it good how the maker described the manchester dates! and as for the manics fans things......that was a bit sad. i mean old fans vs new fans....grr go away. the main thing they're talking about with 'new' fans are 'new' as in Oasis/Cast/Shed7 lads who HAVEN'T gone back.... ah fuck it. I LOVE BELLE & SEBASTIAN BY THE WAY. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!!!! -- Sarah the angry young glamourpuss! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: well, here it is...
by Andrew.Dean＠BULL.NET 19 Dec '97

19 Dec '97

merry christmas, everybody's having fun. apparently. this'll have to be my last post of the year as i'm leaving work this afternoon and won't be back until january... been a strange year. went to scotland for the first time to see belle and sebastian, went to oxford for the first time in 10 years or so to see belle and sebastian, went to america for the first time to see belle and sebastian. five b&s gigs in all bringing my total up to 6. two more to come too, i'll see a lot of you there... also this year i've been keeping a list of everything i've bought recordswise and i'm just about to bore you with the details: 39 7" singles 2 10" singles 10 12" singles 56 cd singles 2 cassettes 62 cd albums which is kinda scary cos it must come in at over a thousand pounds easily (i do have all the prices written down too but can't be arsed to add them up). worse still is the fact that i know lots of people who bought so much more than i did... the best bits? um, autechre's envane ep was enough to make me rush out and buy their new album and the previous three, photek's ni ten ichi ryu was great but would be even better if it was 2 minutes shorter, dog on wheels ep of course (the other two didn't even get close to this) and string bean jean in particular, that spiritualized lp (apart from, curiously, the track they chose as a single but which sounded to me like a giant 10 year leap backwards), bowery electric, mogwai young team, the turn on cd (but not the stereolab cd), and probably more things. oh, b&s were number 1 in the teletext top singles of the year with dog on wheels. blah blah, simon and garfunkel, blah blah... um, the chat thing. sometimes i log in and then immediately get called to attend to something else, sometimes i log in and just sit there listening, sometimes i even join in. it's odd the way people treat it as if it's a real space and type out their interactions. it's nice that all the girls seem so comfortable in there, in fact they've probably taken to it better than all the boys who tend to sit around and talk catalogue numbers. it makes my brain ache to think of everything that has to happen in order for it to look as though half a dozen people from diffferent continents are in one place and getting along but it works and is great fun. well, i'm off to get very nervous (in a good way) about next tuesday in cheltenham and will see those of you i don't see in machester back here on the 5th jan. cheers andy (oh, there's a slight chance i'll be able to pick up my mail on koogydelbbog(a)yahoo.com but no chance of picking up any sent to andrew.dean(a)bull.net so...) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: that blasted irc!
by mkl206＠is8.nyu.edu 19 Dec '97

19 Dec '97

so i wander in planning to chat for about five minutes, and end up staying significantly longer. i've never had any inducement to play around on the irc before, and now i'm totally addicted. i agree with the guy who said that it's hard to justify. i was always sure that i wasn't addicted to the internet cause i just did email and a bit of web surfing, and stayed away from the "hot and heavy" chat rooms. ew. course, i think ours is much nicer than those, oh well. it's a lovely chance to talk and will have to make due until someone comes up with list confrence calling! ;) anyway, sorry to those (pam and john) whom i abandonned earlier. my phone line clicked off. whoops. and to the rest, i've never properly introduced myself. i'm a freshman and new york university who learned about belle and sebastian through another mailing list about a year ago. i picked up the cd around january cause i'd never heard of another band that was so unanimously supported by the people on that list. of course, i'm sure most of you know what happened next. ;) i didn't get to see them playing here in september, but i hope to see them next time. perhaps i'll even have the ways and means to plan a trip around seeing them at some point. but until then, i agree that those of you at the manchester shows should give detailed reports! xox megan mkl206(a)is8.nyu.edu visit the magnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: we're the younger generation.........
by Richard North 19 Dec '97

19 Dec '97

OK This time I want some responses to a message posted on this list. Every single time before I have been completely ignored. No-one apart from a nice American lady even said hello. Is it because I am 17 and not a 30 year old record industry guru? Btw. no offence to any gurus 'cause you have a cool job and I only say that 'cause I don't know any ones age or profession. I am naturally a student. 17 and soon to go the lovely Bangor university. A million miles from my native London. Oh how that makes me glad! Believe me I have been on this list for a few weeks now.... Anyway I am Northy. Full name Richard North but I prefer just Northy. Anyway - have I got anything to say? Well - yes! I am being bored doing my AS level computing project and decided to put on a CD. Y'know when you've got a long task to do and you stick a quality album on? Anyway - I put Kenickie - At the Club on and it just bored me so I put my beloved IYFS CD on. Wow - they are great Seeing other People is just the greatest lyrical songsmithery song I have ever heard. Sublime Only two songs have ever made me laugh out loud. Honestly - just two. Morrissey - Boy Racer "he thinks he's got the whole world at his feet standing at the urinal" B&S - Seeing other People "at least she knows where to put it" Magic! Has Modern Rock is Rubbish received any airplay yet? I always listen to the superb alternative X-fm but I have heard nothing yet. When is it out. I can't wait. Oh yeah - can someone make me a copy of Tigermilk as my contact seems to have forgotten about me. Please I really want a copy I am really jealous of everyone going to Manchester! The list should be great fun when everyone has seen each other's faces. I will feel quite left out (if I don't already) I really will! Don't worry though when (if?) they come to London I will there buying tickets quicker than you can say "Pack your job in son"!!!!!!! bye from a fox feeling left out cold in the snow.......... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: And the winner is....
by PM - AU 18 Dec '97

18 Dec '97

What a fiendish competition! My entry is already whirling through cyberspace on the way to the Poetry Society. Hopefully they will give Trousers a big fat raise for using his initiative to promote poetry at its best. Huzzah! What an exciting digest today! At the risk of going over old ground, yes, Gabrielle Drake (Gabby to her friends) is that bloke out of Crossroads. I don't know if it's featured in the new book, but there is a touching photograph in existence of Nick pushing Sandy around reception in his wheelchair. A light hearted off screen moment. I nearly met Gabrielle Drake once, in Hastings. She was appearing in some play or other with the equally majestic Ian Lavender. But I didn't meet her, so I can fuck off. I almost bought Deep Purple As and Bs today, but I'm frightened of the Bs. Maybe tomorrow, as Badfinger so memorably sang. Best hair in the history of pop. Tag, my "undercarriage" bears no resemblance to that of a bull, and I've been here all along, it's just that my response time has been reduced by becoming a digest person, instead of a cutting edge normal listee. But I do indeed want to rock with Led Zep. I forgot....there was an interview with Gabrielle Drake about her brother in the NME a few years ago. Their father is Charlie Drake!
