I share a birthday with Ian MacCulloch (or however you spell it), what does
this mean?

bit late on this one, sorry... but ah yes, i just want to side with
Sarah because she is cool, and say that yes indeed Felt are a marvellous
apparition in the night. or something. What box set though?, that's what
i want to know. And as for Galaxie 500, well actually yeah, i'd go along
with most of what everyone said about them, and add that i rather liked
the sax in Blue Thunder. Man, that 12" was killer, and whoever mentioned
the version of 'Ceremony' was spot on. it's eclesiastical. And the 'On
Fire' LP is magical of course. I spent a summer listening to pretty much
that and 'California' by American Music Club, and boy, was it a good
summer. yes indeed it was.
But Felt. they rule(d). they changed my life. which is probably a reason
to steer clear, if you listen to some people (i can hear the Miller
man's gears churning as he sets up to retaliate to my earlier jibe), but
hey... what do they know? Lawrence used to tell his guitarists what
plectrums they were allowed to use.

Today is a momentus day in scottish football, rangers failed to win ten in
a row, well done celtic, nevermind hibs. It amazes me though that rangers
fans really do believe that it is good for scottish football if their team
wins every year,had an argument about it on the bus last night.
Heard seeing other people today in a cafe, the canadian muffin company in
aberdeen, first time i've ever heard B&S in a shop, i played guess which
member of staff put it on.
bye

I thought they hailed from San Francisco, but what do I know. Whatever,
there are also at least two reissues easily available, namely the _Red
Rubber Ball (A Collection)_ CD and the _Neon_ CD reissue ("Two rooms" is
probably my favourite Cyrkle tune).
>They all put interesting twists, though, like the Left Banke,

A lovely description, but the "classical baroque" influence is exactly the
reason why I don't appreciate The Left Banke ... too Cheesy'n'Easy (yes,
borrowed from Nice'n'Sleazy) for my liking, but here again this is only the
humble opinion of yours truly and why should you care ... they obviously
seem to have the Belle And Sebastian seal of approval.
As much as I'd like to continue writing about excellent Sixties stuff ...
you don't care, do you ?
Besides, apologies to any fellow human listee who may have been offended by
one of my most recent mails.
I solemnly resolve to change for the better ...

Message text written by Kimberly Rivas-Plata
>Though the one thing that I did remember about them was that they had a
glow-in-the-dark fluroescent toy thing that looked like a floppy light
saber. They called it a 5-tone whirly doo, and one of the band members
was meant to be an expert at it.<
hey! i have one of them. it's very classy. much fun was had when i was 10.
or something. although i think the fun was probably more in twatting my
sister over the head with it rather than whirling it round my head. though
both could be done simultaneously, producing some interesting noises...
Maybe B&S could add one to their multiple instruments onstage... they could
have an extra member standing at the edge of the stage, whirling it around
and hitting any over-excited fans on the head. or Sarah/Isobelle could play
it. Or perhaps not. just a thought. it's been ages since a mentioned B&S in
any post, so i had to get them in somehow...
keep on swingin'
love,
Debbie xxx.

Hurrah! Bobby Chariot's back tonight!
Anyway Sinister peeps I've loads to say but seeing as I only post about once
a month to the list I better get going
Re: The Trial. Saw the film recently and I can't say I found it remotely
funny. It wasn't bad, I just didn't get any humour in it. Am I thick? The
Orson Biog "Rosebud" reckons it's a masterpiece but I prefer "Touch Of Evil"
any day.
Up til now I've always thought that our old mate JJ was a fine upstanding
bloke. A Divine Comedy fan, a fan of the (ahem) Mighty Reds, he even
insulted a friend of mine over the list which gave me a good laugh but Big
Country???? Sorry mate, but I'm disappointed.
The Divine Comedy are an obvious one in the books/band name thing. Not only
is the name borrowed, but large chunks of the lyrics are taken from literary
types - "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" is an F Scott Fitzgerald short story
shortened further, "Lucy" is a Wordsworth poem set to music and so on. This
is either theft or genius. I go for the latter.
A combination of boredom and RRRRRRRoooodd's lyrics quotes at the end of his
messages got me thinking about my own fave lyrics. I don't know if there's
a thread in this or not, but here's a few that I love any way. I've no idea
why. Hopefully a couple of you will know the songs and think "yeah, that's
a good one". I didn't bother with any B&S, I'm sure ye all have loads of
them. Anyone else have fave lyrics out there? (If you can be arsed)
"I wore my fringe like Roger Mc Guinn's
I did it only to impress
So frankly camp it made you laugh
Tomorrow I'll buy myself a dress"
from Orange Juice's "Consolation Prize"
"Just wait until tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart"
From New Order's "Regret"
"When a woman learns to walk
She's not dependent any more
A line from your letter
May 24"
From The Go-Betweens' "Bye Bye Pride"
"If there ain't a heaven that holds us tonight
They never sang Doo-Wop In Harlem"
From Prefab Sprout's "Doo Wop In Harlem"
I've said too much already

what an endearing question... i can't figure out if you're being serious or
not! it's just that american slang is stupid i suppose.. "to ralph" is
another way to say "to throw up" and i don't know what a key party is but
it's probably the same thing as a keg party - a party with kegs, ie those
barrel-y things, of beer. aren't these common at all colleges? i guess i'll
find out when i start university next year... i don't know if that's a good
thing or a bad thing..
still yawning,

hiya Sinister dudes!
strange dream, last night, i dreamt i was Peter Hook.
ok, well not BEING Peter Hook, i was just playing the bass in New Order,
it was so cool! i was in front of loads of people, and then i thought,
SHIT i don't know how to play this bass, but it was OK, cos i COULD play
it!!! i was so cool, givin it all that funky slap bass thing, i rocked.
what relevance that has to anything is debatable if you're bored.
EUROVISION tonight, wooohoo!
i am going to vote for Iceland. well, if its anything like last years i
will anyway. Katrina and the Bloody Waves, that was a travesty, i don't
believe we WN with that. and Imanni, thats PISH as well.
I heard its a phone vote this year, but you can't vote for your own
country. and apparently, the germans really love teir dude, so i heard
they are planning coaches to France/Switzerland whatever, so they can go
and ring up for THEIR dude. who feels things are goign a tad too far?!
Air are great, i think they are the future of Pop, quite simply. along
with teh super furries. i'm going to see them on Saturday yes yes yes! i
love them so much and i am happy happy joy joy!
I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

<< every so often i get the urge to lug out all my old school
sassy magazines .... i was outraged when it turned into another ym
clone.. i decided to buy -jane- magazine.. ergg, not as good as sassy>>
too right!!! I LIVED for Sassy as a 15 year old (yeah i know, it was a
small town, friends were scarce)... always dreaded the day i would get
"too old" to be seen reading it and all. Then it all went horribly
wrong when they were bought out by some LA publication and by that time
i didn't care.
but in the halcyon days of 1990 or so, they had brilliant bits from the
likes of Kim Gordon and Evan Dando, whose best story ever was that his
friend Polly Noonan was looking for a man with the surname of "Knight"
so she could name her firstborn Morning Noonan Knight. (aack I guess you
had to be there) Also, does anyone remember the "win a Date with Spike
Jonze" contest? and only about 3 people entered, but mind you this was
before he was *the* Spike Jonze. Jane magazine, however, is... how you
say? merde.
Relieved that I'm not the only who saved my issues of Sassy...
can we call you teri underwear now?
sorry;-)
