Pretty much ditto. I too lay claim to some tenous Scottish ancestory
(my grandparents are from Raasay) and would be quite happy to share a
beer, a laugh, a sigh and a tear with my adopted Caledonian cousins.
I'll even attempt my appaling Glasgow accent to blend in seamlessly,
thus avoiding any Sassanach-bashing "Hush ya wheest or I'll gi ya
something t'greet aboot". Oh and I promise not to show my genital trophy
under my kilt.....

Appreciate? He's the chap, the dude, th main man, the big cheese, the

one.

"Genital trophy" is without a doubt the single most funny sexual
euphemism I've heard since "roughing up the suspect". "Your new
teammate" - Julien, unlike your namesake, you are un rompeur
d'honneur.

Yes, she is.

The sinister pervert Paul "Hunny" Mitchell, AKA Doktor Evil, together
with Egor, his faithful assistant, has patented x-ray glasses which
mean that, to him, everyone is naked. I think this may explain the
confusion.

Why, oh, why, oh why? Anna, beat him at his own game, become a total
fanatic, cheer louder than him, have trivial facts and figures at your
fingertips, sing "You're not singing, you're not singing, you're not
singing, you're not singing anymore" and "Who are ya?" at the
opposition. Fall inexplicably in love with the man with the worst
hair in the Bulgarian team. And laugh yourself silly when Germany
beat England on penalties. Again.

You will. Trousers has written a pop quiz apparently, and I expect
him to turn up wearing his full master of cermonies regalia, and to
shout "It's good, but it's not right", "RRRRRunaround NOW!" and "do
you want to keep your Philip Larkin anthology, and the Belle and
Sebastian negligee which the lovely Katrina is modelling for us, or to
you want to GAMBLE and go for the BIG CASH PRIZE. Incidentally, if
anyone there talks to Anna, my friend from Sweden, ask her about her
dream of Pelifant.
That'll do.
Love,

You're a chatty lot aren't you!
I've just arrived fresh from the Tindersticks mailing list where it's all doom
and gloom and discussions on whether Nick Cave or Tom Waits is more fun.
They like the Arab Strap album over there.
I did my best to make sure that B&S got a frequent mention.
And Serge Gainsbourg (Hi Julien).
And Momus.
Talking of Momus did any UK subscribers see the article in todays Guardian about
Japanese music? How they failed to mention Momus I don't know.
They even had a few words from Cornelius who wrote the music for "Le Roi Soleil"
which Momus penned the lyrics for, and who used to be Kahimi Karie's boyfriend.
And they mentioned the new Pizzicato Five album which features a remix (and
sleeve notes) by Momus.
Anyway, the introduction.
I enjoy my B&S accompanied by a well made cocktail.
I moved down to Hampshire from Manchester last December just in time to miss the
B&S gigs :( and now work for an alcoholic drinks company in Southampton :)
My advice to Claire and Adrian is to drink rum.
Good luck to everyone who's in the middle of exams.
Sorry, but I can't see Scotland qualifying for the second round.

oh what an oportune moment...i JUST got home from seeing a most non-lame
kraftwerk in concert and i just have to say that it was well worth the $28
ticket - hell, it was worth two or three times that price. "tour de
france" live with fabulous footage of old tours on 4 screens (my cycling
crazy boyfriend was trying to point out all the racers to me but it was
much to loud lucky for me) and trans europe express and computer love and
pocket calculator and robots complete with the kraftwerk robots and neon
tubing suits and oh my. it was just the best two hours of the
year...decade even. i am a happy happy girl...
sorry for the complete lack of b&s content.

It's so bad that everyone with similar musical interests to me always live
somewhere else. Damnit.
But don't you see that playing in bands that what you describe is truly the
backbone of rock? Not that it's populated by engineers or that would be
scary, but people who get together for the hell of it and jam! Rock music
is the only form of entertainment where you can be a bad singer or not know
your instrument and yet are still considered good. Nobody gives a damn
about proficiency as long as you rock. people in this town that I'm in
have completely forgotten that. to them, it's all about demo tapes and who
you know. They've completely forgotten the idea of getting people
together for the hell of it because Austin is becoming a place where too
much is at stake. I remember reading a biography on the Smiths and was
amused to learn that Johnny Marr went several years without owning an amp.
Here, everyone has in-home recording studios, a CD release on their own
label, and looks strictly at your work references. They don't even want to
waste their time auditoning someone they've never heard of to join a line
up. They're going right for the throat as far as success is concerned, but
they overlook the most important things such as talent, ideas, and having
fun. I don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it makes me sick that
many people have forgotten what it is to be a performer and want to go
strictly for the juggular. yeah, I admit I want the same, but as far as
I'm concerned, I want to have a playlist of many songs and try them out
before and audience and then I'll rush to a studio. who doesn't want
success? It sucks to be kicking around in front of half interested
audiences, but really, I'd rather earn my respect than have it earned for
me by MTV and then be a trivia question in a bar as "this one hit-wonder
wrote..." several years on. Luckily, I have been doing that and it feels
good that people ask me what I'm doing or when I'm playing just because
they want to.
s.s.

<<<Does anybody have the most recent Sebadoh album, and if so is it worth
buying.>>>
If you're talking about Harmacy, absolutely. Though I think a good 1/3
could've been edited out, Lou's songs "On Fire", "Perfect Way", "Ocean",
and especially "Willing To Wait" (my choice for song of the year!) are
worth the price 10 times over.

it's always like 'write a letter to your friend explaning about the exchange
student' and you have to write about customs and things so i'm thinking...if

that way i could work in 'in his native scotland he listens to belle and
sebastian'
and 3,the computer became sick...so if i haven't wrote back to you for a
while,don't worry i love you very much but had no computer to write you to!
arab strap....
brad feeling apprhensive (cannot spell that word) when hearing first words?
well now my history teacher thinks i'm a pervert..see my friend pulled out
the arab strap cd and i could explain that,but that coupled with the furry
cuffs..it was a joke present they wouldn't believe me! but then with those
coupons..sigh
so me in a french maid costume has been rejected? sob!...I know why,you all
still think i am really the 45 year old Hank real estate man...why!? and i
have one too...well i did..it is too small for me,i gave it to my cousin.
oh elisa is the whipped cream on strawberries! i LOVE the 'pookylove' you
guys are so sweet....Honey my Ice Princess says Tag was naked,Tag says he
