K? Are you sure you're not confusing your friend with the cider? It's
easily done, I know.

Dear Steven,
Hello! This is the first letter I've ever sent to a fellow Belle
and Sebastian enthusiast. Permit me to introduce myself. My
name is Lauren, and I study French and German at the
University of Birmingham, England. I am twenty.
OK, so my Belle and Sebastian story goes like this: I finished
my exams last May, and a very good male friend of mine,
K, bought some cheap but powerful cider (like paint-stripper)
for me and my dear friend V, and we went to his tiny room in
hall (student residence) and turned off the lights, warmed up
the lava lamp, and he turned on the most sublime, gentle,
funny, and dreamy music I had ever heard. We lay on his bed,
the three of us, and had a tender and memorable evening,
with Belle and Sebastian's 'Dog on Wheels' and 'Sinister'
forming the soundtrack!
That summer, we three saw them in the Colchester Arts
Centre, a tiny, renovated church which is nevertheless
extremely popular with indie bands. The atmosphere was
crackling with the electricity of the fans' anticipation. I
watched through the gap between the side and the armpit of
the tall bloke in front of me as Stuart came on in delightful
second-hand Lederhosen and the rest of the band assembled
like a school orchestra on the stage full of all sorts of weird
instruments. Every fan there mouthed the words as Stuart
whispered his way dreamily through the band's repertoire.
I bought my orange-and-brown 1997 tour bus t-shirt there,
and kissed Chris on his bristly cheek, trying to persuade him
to bring the band to Birmingham, which, as most Americans
may not realise, is viewed as a gigantic shite-hole by the rest
of the British. I don't think he was convinced!
I wrote to you, Steven, because I am coming to America this
summer with a friend, where we are going to travel around
by Greyhound (yes.. I know it's nonsensical and dangerous!
but what the hell??!!!), and we are going to be dropping in
to see a bit of Atlanta. So your town holds a lot of interest for
me, probably more than Birmingham does for you... I am
originally from East London, so I am considered a Cockney,
though at the school where I was educated one was not
encouraged to retain that accent!
Anyhow, I hope this is some sort of adequate introduction.. I
am pretty excited about getting to know all of the people on
the list.. I didn't realise B+S were so international.. although
I am positive they are on their way..
Much love and dreams of horses..
Lauren xxx

As seems customary ( some sort of initiation ritual perhaps? ) I will begin
by saying that this is my first post. So allow me to present myself:
My name is Thomas Hinton, I'm 16, doing my GCSEs at the moment - STRESS! -
as well as A-Level Maths ( don't know why.. ). English Lit and Spanish are
out of the way, with German Reading ( the final installment ) tomorrow.
Anyone else got a German exam tomorrow because I was just watching Select
MTV ( nothing else on, honest guv ) and EVERYONE was talking about a German
Exam tomorrow. OK, I've got to go - I'll write again later - as my mother
hath just returneth and I have to tell her I've broken the glass on a
bookcase ( Jesus, I was just leaning on it, and it smashed. I can't
understand this crazy world any more, blah blah blah ).
Love to all,
Tom.

Did anyone hear the new Mogwai single on John Peel last night?
Apparently it's not out till the end of June, which is far too long
to wait if you ask me. Just as well that Mary-Anne Hobbs played it
later on, so I was able to tape it. My flat's been reverberating to
it all day.
Does anyone know who plays the rather shaggable violin part towards
the end?
Luv & Noize,
Andy

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but I wonder if you could all help me out
with a wee bit research. 2 bits actually.
Firstly: Do you sleep on your back, front or side?
(are B&S lovers a broad enough representation of the human race?)
Secondly: Do seagulls have flight paths? Every day this week there is
birdshit appearing across my driveway and car, which isn't too weird,
but it's forming a straight line. In fact it's a line that travels 45
metres (well, paces) across my drive and down my street. And it isn't a
lazy line, it's dead straight. Are the seagulls pointing me in the
direction my life should go? They're pointing at a big fat nosey
neighbour's house. Is she my destiny? Come to think of it i don't know
if it is the seagulls, i'm just guessing from the fishy flavour of
their... what's the proper word for birdshit? It could be those
sinister magpies that are trying to lure me away.
Enough nonsense. Anyone going to Hear Gorky's Zygotic Mynci at the
renfrew Ferry next week?

doesn't a band sound like a good idea?
I play in one right now, called the Gooey Kablooies and we will be playing
Emmanuel event in C'bridge....we do a cover of you made me forget my
dreams that goes on and on and builds up from v quiet acoustic girl and
guitar to
massive noise then tails off eventually in a kind of spiritualized blur...
anyway the band will crumble soon so I will be looking for new member esp
a bass player, poss a lead guitar as I am a bit of a rhythm baby
or also i would love to get together and start something completely new-
dan are you interested?
I live in London and play guitar and sing mainly but other stuff too,

Quite. I think resignation set in after 3...6...9...Seconds, when it became
apparent that nowt would be forthcoming for a bloody long time.

Many of the poor dear listees are climbing up the walls to get away
from their revision and horrid exams at the moment, and of course are
far too dedeicated to even _think_ about something so frivolous as a
new album of pretty pop music...
Personally, I'm going to be excited once I've got my arseing exhibition
over and done with and can lounge around in the approved layabout
manner (training for university, darlings - I'm a _method_ acktorr).
I hereby promise that I will jump around screaming in anticipation, start
having dreams about palomino ponies and generally start behaving in a
silly fashion as soon as I've recovered the strength!

Of course! That's why _I_ joined the list, anyway ;) Belle & Sebastian
have helped my lesbian lovelife along no end!
"Sorry Brad my darling, I met this divine little gal from Ohio on
the
internet, and we're going away together to join a commune."
Ahem.
