Yeah, but I bet he doesn't have to wear a suit.

Well it's not really. Chris Leonard just asked me to send something
"funny" to the list, which as you know is against all my principles,
so when I refused he's now sending me smutty and lewd innuendoes
about list members. He's a bad boy and I bet he's wearing his saucy
underpants at work today.
In the meantime, can I be a total bore and ask people to remember
again that replies to the digest won't go back to the list but to
me? And then they sit in my mailbox for ages, I grumble to Splat
"why doesn't anyone care, Splat?", she mutters "pish" and eventually
inspite of my threats to just delete them, I send them on, with a
grumpy look on my face, and accuse myself of being a right old sod.
By which time the original poster has sent them again and I look like
Arthur Mullard.
Also - there's a right old tigermilky knees-up going on on
rec.music.marketplace.vinyl at the moment. Here's a quick sample for
fun, with some surprising comments about the old scratchy classic:
Subject: Re: FS: Belle and Sebastian "Tigermilk"

Newsgroups: rec.music.marketplace.vinyl
I'm basing my thoughts on the worth of this record by the fact that I
just picked up TWO copies of it in Europe last month--one copy for 46
pounds--a mint copy--, (under a hundred bucks) one for 32 pounds--in
very good condition--(about 50 bucks). As it goes when shopping for
hard to find music the elements of luck and timing mean almost
everything. A minute later or a day sooner and I may not have found
them. But the point is, without trying very hard I found 2 copies for
2 of my customers--which I in turn sold for ZERO profit by the way--I
take vacations all the time where I am more than happy to shop for out
of print items for my customers, wanting nothing in return but the
money I paid for a particular item. Making someone else happy with
music makes me feel good. MUSIC is what this is all about isn't it???
That's it - go and have a look but please don't bring the growlings
that are appearing on that newsgroup here: as you know, we all like
dandelions, skipping ropes and fluffy puppies here.

Pedro complained that his emotional reaction to "The State That I am In" got
the following response from a female friend: "you and your emotions. You're
just a sentimental fool! Life isn't poetry, you know?".
Maybe she was just living the songs: "Belle and Sebastian" has a couplet that
goes:
"He wants to love and he wants to care
But when the girls hear that they think he's so square."
If it's a choice between "Dog" or the female friend, maybe the best advice is
on "Century of Fakirs":
"If you ever get lardy or go lame
I will drop you straight away,
That's the price you have to pay
For all the stupid things you say".
So try to keep both for the time being; then drop whichever goes lardy or lame
first. :-)

was sick all day. stayed home from my office job. cleaned the hell out of my
apartment and did my dishes (3 months can reak havoc). went to the doctor,
got a mess load of antibiotics and allergy pills. came home to my berry
smelling flat and spent the day listening to old albums that i've been
missing. called my folks. smoked too many cigarettes. had some coffee and a
crossaint for dinner. bought some wheat chex and milk ( i can eat cereal now
that i have dishes and a clean fridge again!). stole a bunch of equal
packets at the coffee shop. now i'm feeling drowsy and ready to go to sleep.
three cigarettes left. they kill me slowly but keep me alive quickly. its a
trade off. played cat power's cover of hank williams 'i cant help it (if i'm
still in love with you) cover for most of the day. i guess it was a good
thing. but who knows these days. ok, i need sleep. cheers.

I, too, purchased the Mogwai remixes yesterday. Quite nice. I have reason
to believe I saw a member of Tortoise purchasing the Arab Strap album
yesterday in Austin. I listened to it with a friend, and we agreed it was not
as impressive as we'd hoped. I finally got The Ladybug Transistor album. The
members like Belle and Sebastian, as I believe someone mentioned. It's a nice
listen. Jenny Toomey likes B&S, too. My friends and I like to say her name
in a high-pitched voice very quickly.
What was I talking about?

Jeez. As if his fans didn't own them already. Who doesn't have that
friggin CD Fences? (well not me since I don't listen to that garbage, but I
assume anyone who has gone 2 stepping once owns it). I guess they're
hoping the fans got liquored up one evening and played skee shoot with
them.

How weird. I have the exact same reaction to that record. I got it last
may when I was on the edge of graduating and locating a real place to live
in. It was a boring couple of weeks. I was sending out resumes, kicking
around the overly crowded Women's Co-op (not so crowded because of people,
but because they were simultaneously renovating the place as we were
tripping over our own luggage) with absolutely nothing to do. That sounds
good, but it was pretty dull since I couldn't figure out what to do with
myself. it just felt like I was lying around the place waiting for
everything. Like you're at the mercy of the universe on what was going to
happen except try to slip in the kitchen every once in a while and live off
of the very sparse pantry they had kept between school terms. It was also
a very emotional time for me anyway since my life was about to change so
drastically from what I was ever used to, and as i think about it, it seems
every time I go through a big change in my life, I associate something in
my life with it. In this case, at this time of the year, I hear this album
and think of last summer. When i hear Morrissey's Vauxhall and I, I think
of when I first showed up on campus and it was my first time away from
home. When I see the moon hanging in the mid-day sky in the middle of
fall, I think of that time in my freshman year in college. There is a long
reason, but I won't go into it. I tried to listen to sinister at other
times, and yet, it doesn't bring the power of these memories and feelings
as it does at this time of year.

Hello all!
Just a brief news update to let you all know what Belle and Sebastian are up to.
Well, we at Jeepster finally heard the tracks of which the album will be selected last weekend. Richard and Isobel came down to London bringing the elusive CD with them. Listening to the CD made me remember just why I fell in love with this band in the first place. The recordings sound fresh and new and (dare i say it!) professional. Once the final tracklisting for the album has been decided, I will let you all know. No doubt, you'll be able to piece most of it together in your own minds already, but all I can say is that it has a totally different feel to both "...Sinister" and "Tigermilk". Not necessarily a change of direction, but more a coming together of ideas and it sounds more like a whole band expressing their inner most secrets. It's very exciting! Tentative release date for the LP looks to be late August/early September ... we still don't have a title!
I also hope to have details of gigs for you all quite shortly as well. It looks as though the late summer tour will be going ahead and the band have said they're going into rehearsals for that shortly. Warm-up and UK dates should be announced soon(ish). We hope to be able to sell tickets by credit card for these gigs, info as it comes.
There will also be a Jeepster web-site appearing soon at http://www.jeepster.co.uk/ so stay tuned for that as well, designed by Mr Fanclub man himself, David Kitchen (shop(a)jeepster.co.uk) - soon to be a Jeepster full-timer.
So, over the next month or so, I hope to have the answers to all the questions you have been waiting for. I do promise to try get the official and finalised news to you ASAP, so maybe if you hear an "exclusive" bit of news, it may not necessarily be the case and only a rumour so please be patient.
Well, 'til next time,
Best Wishes,
Katrina.
