Hey,
This is a call-out to any Belle and Sebastian fans who live in Chicago area
who may want to do a picnic/get together type thing.... I would like to plan
something, if there are any of you out there-email me back, and maybe we can
get something going..
Best Wishes-
Johanna

hey...
>>The other day I was listening,with a friend of mine, to a B&S song "the
>>state I am in".
>>Great song. Pure magic.
>We were driving round and round a parking garage and listening to "The
State I Am
>In".....and I made it as far as "why don't you", right after the "riding on
>city busses" and the chord change..or something...just bit me, and I
>started bawling in a big way....
how coincidental... or maybe not.. maybe this happens to belle&sebastian
fans everywhere!.. "the state i am in" has been my theme song for the past
few days.. i'm not sure why, but i keep on rewinding it and listening to it
over and over again. it's one of those songs that grows on you the more and
more you listen to it... sigh..
hehe, for my english class we have to write a play and for my amusement i
tried to throw in as many music references as i could without being too
obvious.. like, the main character - her name is judy... the characters talk
about doing something pretty while they can, and the boy in the play, henry,
talks about the state that he is in. oh, and for any erics trip
afficianados, judy and henry are going to "our friend peter's house" (from
the song stove! it was also covered by canadian rockers sloan.. who were on
the enclave with b&s before it went under or whatever) anyway, no one in my
class will notice any of the b&s things (a friend of mine rolled her eyes
when i said that the main character was judy - "you and your judy blume...i
don't know *what* kind of cult you're into now.." - as b&s sing, "make a new
cult everyday to suit your affairs", right? heh. anyway, i was thinking more
of judy and the dream of horses.. is the horse really hurley? oh dear.. im
rambling..)
wouldn't it be neat if someone actually stood up and said, "OH MY GOD!
You're referring to the song "We Rule the School" by Belle and Sebastian! I
own a vinyl copy of Tigermilk! Why don't you come over to my house after
school and we can listen to it outside in the backyard while eating
strawberries!" ... er, or something similar? well, considering i've gone to
school with these poofs for 5+ years, i'm pretty sure nothing of the sort
will happen.. i can dream though, can't i?
oh.. i hate to bring this up here, and the very last thing i want to do is
make it into a bigger deal than it is, and even worse, put myself in the
middle of it, cos i am switzerland and will remain totally neutral ( :) - i
love everyone, but i don't love anyone) i would like to stand up for my
friend mellowtrance (etc..) who has er, created some problems on the irc
chat.. i know he was a bit of a potty mouth and clashed with some of you,
but he really was *truly* sincere about trying to apologize to you the last
time he went on.. he is one of my only friends who likes belle and
sebastian, and in real life he's a great, great person... i'm a bit
dissapointed by the whole thing because i think that if given the chance,
you could have as much fun with him as i do.. but, i'm sorry for any
feathers that were ruffled along the way... (hey, why am *i* apologizing?
heh, it's some canadian thing probably..eh?.. ack, bad joke :) )
but hmm, i would like to end this on a better note :)
oooh, someone mentioned the book weetzie bat by francesca lia block a few
days ago and i wholehartedly recommend it as well - it's so wonderfully
crazy. by someone's recommendation i'm reading an anais nin book, and hee
hee, it makes me giggle like an immature school girl sometimes.. "literary
erotica", how euphemistically pretentious.. maybe judy went under the covers
with a torch to read her.. i'm sure her parents wouldn't approve! okay, now
i'm being silly...
sleep well,
teri xoxo

Since this Sunday isn't looking too good for anyone (including yours
truly, who in the excitement of *finally* getting a Sinister picnic,
neglected to remember her own brother's birthday that same day....oops)
we've decided to push our little shindig back a week.
Therefore, next Sunday May 24th*, noon-ish to whenever, Golden Gate
Park, Hippy Hill-area.
Food/drinks/etc need to be sorted out, so please e-mail me if you know
what you'll be bringing, or if you need more info. (someone had to tell
me where Hippy hill is!)
love Taracita
*Yes it's Memorial Day weekend, but you weren't doing anything anyway,
were you?;-)

i have this awful book from 1938 titled "the complete dream book" so i
went to see about that dream of horses...
"Dreaming of a black horse is unlucky for a married woman as it denotes
unfaithfullness on the part of her husband.
Brood mares indicate companionship and connubial happiness.
Being kicked by a horse is a sign that the object of your affection will
do something to make you realize that you have made a mistake.
Having a horse shod is a good omen for lovers, both married and single."
[who writes this shit!!]
then again, if she dreampt of a mare...
"If a young woman dreams of seeing mares in lush, green pastures, she
may expect a marriage without regrets and children who will do credit to
her and her husband."
looks like we need some more details on the dream, Stuart.
then again, my roommate told me that a dream about horses is a dream
about sex just like car dreams and flying dreams - so she started
singing "Lena and her dream of driving" and i sang "Lindsay and her
dream of flying" and we ran around prancing like horses.
fill in your own locomotive blank
and we all know the dream was far too sweet to ever discern!
has anyone ever pictured what the dream was like?
or had an image in their mind with any other song for that matter?

Yesterday I got my CD copy of Sinister back, after it had been guarding the
house of some friends of mine while they were in Thailand for several
months.
Anyway, it is a promo copy, and futher to the discussion a few weeks back
about promo copies, I thought I'd tell you what was written on a sticker on
the case. It has the full cover etc, and a sticker on the front saying
'Appearing 18-Nov-96'. On the back, though, it gets good, saying...
'Everything that made me want a career in the music business and most of
what keeps me in it (aside from the money) is embodied in this unconsciously
inspired, unassuming masterpiece. What's that? It's the indefinable, the
elusive quality of magic, it's something you feel and know instantly and
don't question, you just go with it. The charm and wit of these songs, the
guileless understatement of their production, and the dark shades of meaning
make this a rare gem. Does this sound like pluggerbabble bullshit? Then
perhaps you've been in the music business too long. Phone me for some
background stories- Scott.
Belle & Sebastian play the Borderline on the 11th Nov.'
Which is cool, 'cos at least it's self- reflexive pluggerbabble bullshit
:-). anyway, thought you might be interested.
Eek! It's just occurred to me that it might be a bad thing to buy secondhand
promo copies of records, since the artists don't get any cash money as a
result. Oh, the moral maze of modern living.

Oh man...I SO hear what you're saying! One day, acouple of weeks ago..My
best mate and I were in my car looking for parking for a film....We were
driving round and round a parking garage and listening to "The State I Am
In".....and I made it as far as "why don't you", right after the "riding on
city busses" and the chord change..or something...just bit me, and I
started bawling in a big way....I was half crying and laughing at the same
time, cause she was looking at me like "what the?" Then she just said
"dork...you and this Belle & Whoever." Funny thing was i'd been choking
back the tears up till then anyway....You think YOU'RE sentimental? Oh
brother......
Maybe I just need more vitamins or something.
