Tag said: >It's Friday morning, the sun is shining ..... mate, you've been listening to far too much of that dimpled young finley Quaye . Ronan asked: >Has anyone heard the new single by Setanta band Catchers? They played a great Radcliffe Session about 3 years ago, promised a new album soon, and promptly disappeared off the face of the earth. Thanx sooo much for bringing this band up, i wanted to, but eventually decided against it for fear that big daddy Paul might turn mean at my finely-tuned skill for having bugger all b+s relevance. But now i can say THEY ARE AMAZING. GO OUT AND BUY THEIR ALBUM. AND THEIR SINGLES. BUT KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THE SINGER. his name's Dale, he's just had a hair-cut and he belongs to my friend.......she wishes. in fact, they all have lovely irish accents and alice, the keyboardist and founder member is also really sweet. actually they are all adorable. i really think that they are just the sort of band that a lot of belle and sebastian people will like. Dale's songs are so gooood, and just keep getting better every time i see them. He used write poetry, literally, in format, style and vocab, but now they are getting a bit rockier. They've been around for a while now, i know they started when dale was doing his a levels, which he told me he dropped three months before his exams for the music. errm he's around 26 now i think , so that's... errm, 8 years, i might be wrong though, they always tell me and i always forget. they've got a beautiful abum out called MUTE and you can get that and the new single, Call Her Name from setanta : http://www.setantarecords.com i know they headlined the Garage on a Tuesday night a couple of weeks a go - apparently they are gonna be playing a lot of gigs around soon, so watch out.

After all, she must have asked for a transfer for a good reason. I'm no mind reader, but I wouldn't be surprised if she objected to playing in a band with a dollar sign in their name. Whatever, I hardly think Sarah will blow her top if she does read Rod's message, and Rod would certainly be in need of psychiatric help if he changed his opinions just to please her, or anyone else who might be reading. Especially when the opinion in question was so innocuous. What did he say? "slightly dull"? Personally I've never heard the band in question, but I'm not going to rush out and listen to them and then say they're really good just because Sarah Martin lays down a bit of extra Stylophone on side two. > >> Oh well ... I should follow the Duke Of Harringay's example and unsubscribe >> ... too many "Dedicated followers of fashion" and starstrucked teenagers out >> there. > That's your decision, but I think it is a bit ironic coming in the same sentence as a reference to "starstrucked teenagers". I dread to think how many messages I've read on this list over the years, but I'm yet to encounter anything from a "starstrucked teenager" or a "Dedicated follower of fashion", not that I have anything against those groups of people. I'm quite starstrucked, but I'm not a teenager. I follow the herd quite a lot, I've seen "Titanic" and I own a copy of "Urban Hymns". I buy my clothes in Marks and Spencer. I am starstrucked enough to stand around for two hours in the hope of catching a glimpse of Keanu Reeves. I watch the television programmes that get the biggest audiences (they are football matches) and was really really starstrucked when I saw the legendary Barcelona "dream team" at close quarters. Hristo Stoichkov is my favourite. >Anyone fancy a Hobnob? Yes, I'd like a Hobnob, thank you Rod. Did you know that they were the most successful product launch in the history of United Biscuits? They used to own Pizzaland and Wimpy, you know, but they sold them as part of a rationalisation process. The Windy Ridge snack factory in Ashby-de-la-Zouch is one of the most advanced in the world....the bloke who invented Outer Spacers is a really bad driver and has a terrible temper...

It is true that I challenged him to an insult competition, but I thought I'd take it easy on the poor soul, since he made off whimpering and licking his wounds, like a dog, after a couple of light-hearted haikus. Just as well I did since it appears that the best he can come up with is school bus standard at best. I mean...'fatty' and 'chicken'? Doesn't even sound like a contest to me. Hope the constipation's clearing up, Petey. That trawl through the entire 1980s Rod Stewart output should have helped. I hope you particularly enjoyed 'Young Turks'. Wanted to look like Jimmy Webb, huh? And ended up looking like Jimmy Tarbuck. Bye Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Tell me about it. I was there because "Carnival of Light" is one of my all-time fave albums. "Hugely disappointed" is the expression I'm looking for.

Yeah? Well my dad used to work in the Central Regional Council Social Work department, when Ian Ross was in charge, and he's the dad of one of The Diggers. Yes. Be impressed. > Oh well ...

Sinister: Stop! Look! Listen! ideed.
by PJMiller 20 Feb '98

20 Feb '98

Big Tackle suggested that Stuart was taking the piss by asking about biscuits. I'm no mind reader, but I don't think there was any malice involved, more a case of joining in the "fun". Three attempts to introduce a bit of B&S content while we wait for the Monday Poem: 1) How about an ink polaroid of the contract signing ceremony, Katrina? Or a bit more detail. I don't mean the financial ins and outs, just a bit of background for those of us who don't know how these things work. For instance, does each member have their own contract, or is it a joint contract, meaning that they are legally bound to each other as well as to Matador? What happens if Sarah Martin decides to leave the band due to the pressures of raising a family with Christopher Alexander Leonard? That kind of thing... 2) What are Stuart M and the unnamed catfish on the cover of 3..6..9 laughing about? 3) I'm just listening to the marvellous Jimmy Webb's "Archive 1970-1977", something I don't do very often. There is a song called "Feet in the Sunshine" which sounds remarkably similar to "Ease Your Feet in the Sea". It's a gorgeous song, in fact it's a gorgeous album. In fact, it's so gorgeous I can't for the life of me work out why people buy new records when there are so many nice old ones. New records should be banned. But that's beside the point, what I really want to know is whether or not it's a deliberate tribute to the author of "Lady Fits Her Blue Jeans" or just coincidence. I would dearly like to look like Jimmy Webb on the back cover of this album - stylish, self-assured, Georgie Best haircut, proper cufflinks.
