If Hollywood were filming Belle and Sebastian: the Movie, who would play the members of the band? Steve McQueen would be Stuart M? (or perhaps in a curel twist of fate, now that he's acting--Damon Albarn?!?!??) Sharon Stone, Isobel? uhmm... George Clooney twould be Stevie? Noah Wylie, Stu D? Claire Daines, Sarah M? uhmm... uhh. ahem. Sorry. But honestly, who'd play our erstwhile heroes/heroines, eh? Casting begins now! (hmm. and who would be cast as the listee people? I think I'd be a Gedde Watanabe aka Long Duck Dong from Sixteen Candles. hmm 80s movie. hmmm) francisco creating his own threads ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

He was indeed a super space detective, who detected which of the large cardboard cutouts "done the murdurs" as Taggart would put it. It was shite, so it only ran for one series, and as I remember, this was circa 1981. Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Where To See B & S Videos On Cable.
by g.j.bevis 04 Feb '98

04 Feb '98

Sorry Anna, I think i emailed you personally rather than the list by mistake. My apologies. NEWS A good place to find B & S videos is on Sky Hitmix in the middle of the night. I saw Lazy Line and Dog On Wheels in the space of one week. So I think they have a fan somewhere on there. Does anyone like Frank Black? I always felt that he should have been a lot bigger. (Cue loads of jokes along the lines of 'Isn't he big enough already!') ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by David Murrow 04 Feb '98

04 Feb '98

Hello good kids -- Does someone here have inside scoop on Belle & Seb US dates yet? I know that a rumored NYC date on Feb 21 was discussed, but has anyone seen or heard about dates for Chicago or LA? I'm willing to spend serious dosh to travel to see Belle & Sebastian live somewhere here in the United States of Oval Office Hanky-Panky...

Jasper Carrot wrote: No, no I didn't mean it like that. I like the idea of the list being a sort of daily fanzine though. Basically, I love it when people tell me with a certain passion about new things, but I get a bit narky when I hear such and such are good, no they're not, yes they, fuck off, wanker ... and so on. If someone writes I like Murray whathisfaace because he makes me feel like this ... well that's great. I may not agree - I mean I remember going out for a drink with someone I used to work with who loved opera. I don't, but the way this guy talked about it was very special. Errm ... yeah sorry, the list as a fanzine ... I like it! The list is already a bit like a fanzine for me. I no longer feel the need to shell out for "real" publications, such as the NME or Q or The Face or anything of that kind. This is a major saving for me because they're all twice the price here. Having said that, I do miss a bit of breakfast reading. Had to make do with "Slaves of New York" this morning. Talk about the cutting edge! I don't often buy things people talk about on the list, but I do pick them up, turn them over, and think about it. I am one of those sad people who wanders around shops in the afternoon, horribly aware that the staff are thinking "Oh look, it's him again. Hasn't he got anything better to do? He never buys anything. I wonder if he's mentally unstable? Why is he looking in the back of "Uncut"? Why doesn't he just buy it? Doesn't he like Monkey Brown?" Someone wrote >> And Boogie Nights is crap. > I thought it was really good. I particularly like the way it makes you feel kind of dirty for about two weeks after. I certainly don't think it was easy. I couldn't do it. I wouldn't know where to start. And it's a long way from New Kids on the Block. And now Burt Reynolds has got two good films under his belt. And nobody says "squeal piggy, squeal!" in this one. And it features the godlike genius of ELO, which is really stirring, and God Only Knows, which is really moving in that context. Sorry to ramble, I am trying to practise what I preach. Bev Bevan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Bitch. > I was seriously thinking about writing to her, I was really quite keen. Then in an interview in the NME or something they asked her about being fancied by people and she said, "Well, they're not going to get me, are they?" and I thought oh no! I've turned into a pervert! I was unemployed at the time. Anyway, I still think it's a great idea to write to Belle and Sebastian. Don't forget you can do it by e-mail. What could be simpler? You can also write to Quentin Crisp and William Hague MP, both of whom I have been in contact with. But they haven't been in contact with me.

Sinister: Captain Zep

This message has nothing to do with B&S so I'll just say that they are indeed the finest band on God's green Earth and get on to what I wanted to say. I am a sad student boy and was last night talking about kid's TV as sad students do. HOWEVER, no-one in my flat remembers 'CAPTAIN ZEP', who was a super space detective, or something who around the galaxy solving mysteries. Did he actually exist or have I just made him up. Sorry to all the people who wanted to read something about B&S. Damo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
