No one really knows me as i've been lurking, but i share your 15ness ;) I'm Sarah, and i reside in Canada, for those wondering who i am and what i want, there's one of your questions answered anyway (evil laugh). I like the part about you being nice and turning someone into a Belle and Sebastian fan, I'm porud of myself today as I have done that as well, with my friend Elspeth. My goal is to make a new fan every day. So far the head count is (ahem) 1. :D How many others here have scouted out potential B&S fans? I love when that happens, when i find someone else who's at least open to bands like them, it's rare around me. My fellow students like such tosh, they think I'm from another planet when i rip out my discman and headphones. Oh dearm its 4:26am sleep time, sarah >>B is for Bethy and Jon, who've only just turned fifiteen, > >(jon hides embarassedly) > >me and bethey were just saying how exciting it will be next time we go to a >B&S gig, all you lot (all you grown-ups) that are there are going to know >exactly who we are and they will come pick on us. > >Did anyone notice us at the sunday matinee in Manchester? we felt like >everyone was looking at us cos we were so small, but I don't know.

Sinister: the wheels on the bus go round and round

Anyway, I got more than either of you. Hooray! In answer to the person who thought the sleaze quiz wasn't PC - c'mon, it was just a bit of a larff, and as far as I'm concerned the sleazier the better. Someone I know claims to have got 268 points, I can't tell you who that was, but I'm changing the locks. Susannah wrote: >50-1000 Keith, tag, paul, I expect you to be in this bracket Bingo.

I would just like to assure of all you that whatever Rod may be implying, he has never shagged me up the arse. I'd still be walking like John Wayne if he had, I'm sure. Sad songs? "Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James and the Shondells has a melody so sad I couldn't actually bring myself to listen to it for years. "Down from Dover" by Nancy and Lee (which Dolly Parton wrote) for when Nancy actually cries at the end, and Dolly herself doing "I will always love you" is pretty fucking heartbreaking. Some friends of mine were watching "The Elephant Man". One of them was crying, so my pal Mark said "Awww, don't cry, it's a true story, and he dies at the end."

Sinister: American Music Club(No B&S)

Mike Appelstein wrote: >Then there's always American Music Club's middle period, which >contains >some of the very saddest, most beautiful songs ever written. How >many >listmembers love "Everclear?" I do!! It was the first AMC album I bought and I thought all their albums were just as good. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case at all. Their other albums disappointed me, and not just one of them, but three (Engine, Mercury, and San Francisco). But "Everclear" is so wonderful, especially the songs on the second side like 'Sick of Food' and 'Royal Cafe'. AMC was the first concert I ever went to (in 1992, after I came to school in the Bay Area from Texas) Take care, Birjinder ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: the mad whack, chickfactor
by Pam Berry 01 Apr '98

01 Apr '98

hi everyone! stephen trousers, thanks much for that monday poem, it was one of the few highlights of a monday work disaster which had us working straight through from 8:30 monday morning till midnight tuesday! a nice moment came along about 2am-- except for the cd player it was creepily quiet in the office like it is in offices in the middle of the night, if you're feeling sinister was in the player and during stars of track and field 6 people typing manically in separate cubes broke the silence at the very same moment and sang the chorus! with no real sleep for days and no dreams to cloud up the works, the events of last weekend up to and including a car accident on sunday afternoon are still fresh in my fatigued brain and a thing happened friday night that's been topical on the list as of late...it was after midnight and megan and I were staggering down P st. in the direction of the fox and hounds for some more spring refreshment (thanks to andy fox it's the only dive in town with belle and sebastian in the jukebox, go andy!). it was a warm, breezy night, plenty of people out and about, but the closest people walking were pretty far ahead and behind us...timing must be our gift because we noticed a car pulled over to the curb, the car was running, with no one in the driver's seat, and as we walked by the car the door flew open and this guy in the passenger seat wearing a maniacal grin but no pants was furiously wrestling the champion in our general direction! a few hours later in megan's car on U st., hurtling toward the all-night drive-thru to our favorite scottish place we asked ourselves, selves, should we post about this to the list? at that moment, swear to god, cliff richard came on the radio. but I'm not writing to tell of the mad whack, I'm really just passing on a message from my friend gail who lives in new york, we did a zine together for a few years and I got busy/lazy and quit doing it, but she's still doing it godblessher, it's called chickfactor and the newest one has interviews with our favorite gals sarah and isobel! gail asked me to give you all the address in case you want to order it. this issue also has interviews with momus, spring, the divine comedy, jeffrey honeybunch, future bible heroes, martin phillips, a high llamas jukebox jury, and more stuff I'm certainly forgetting. you can get it for $4 u.s. and $6 overseas, that includes postage, to gail o'hara 245 e. 19th st. 12-T new york, NY 10003 cheers, pam p.s. oh it's a green week. yes andy "crockett" dean I'm jealous of your miami-beach-filled jeans cuffs. tag, I've got going-to-sweden envy. and duke, triple that jealousy for you and other lucky dogs who get to see the jasmine minks this weekend!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Matt Niemark mentioned a sample of Seberg from A Bout de Souffle being included in "Hurley's Having Dreams". Darn! I've never noticed this the numerous times I've listened to it. I am wondering though if anyone knows the sample that precedes "London Has Let Me Down" with the speeding car, the french guy sounding tough, the gunshot... I don't know why, but I think it's from "Vivre Se Vie" (My Life To Live for the english)--another, and perhaps more brilliant?, film by God[ard] himself. (Though my personal favorite is Pierrot le Fou because it has *both* Belmondo and Karina). ... time to listen to Hurley's Having Dreams again... francisco ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Holy Kazaam! Kristen's comparisons of Jean Seberg's outfit to the chanteuse on 3..6..9..[etc] reminded me of the first time I saw Isobel at the now defunct but notorious, nay dare I say *infamous*, Sessions at West 54th taping: Isobel wore her hair short ala Seberg, and even wore a black and white stripey shirt--just like Seberg's character! Why, I wouldnae been surprised if she opened up a secret compartment in her cello and whipped out some New York Herald Tribunes and let them fly around the room. but i really should be getting back to work... francisco ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Breathless
by Matthew Neimark 01 Apr '98

Anyone on the list ever see the movie Breathless by Jean-Luc Goddard (A Bout de Souffle pour les francais)? Anyone ever hear the B&S demo "Hurley's having Dreams."? Anyone notice the sample of the former in the latter (piano music fades into Jean Seberg "Allo Michel")?
