Hmmm so is Sir Joe Strummer in fact the father of Jazzy Jeff or that bloke
from Soul II Soul? We should be told.
Mr Strummer bought me a drink at a Pulp gig once, which was nice of him &
it even prevented me telling him my "Being in the Clash" dream, but as I
have less shame about looking foolish now, here goes:
In my dream I was hanging around looking "punk" outside Portsmouth
Guildhall waiting to see my teenage heroes when Joe stuck his head round
the door and uttered the immortal words "Hey kid, our finely chiseled
cheek-boned bassist has had to go get his haircut, wanna join the band?"
Obviously I must have looked the part or maybe it was because I had my bass
guitar with me?? Anyway there I was on-stage with the band & it was
wonderful until I remembered I only knew how to play two songs & they were
by The Police & The Boomtown Rats so the crowd weren't pleased. Joe said
it didn`t matter as it was punk rock but I didn`t believe him.

Oi! I was "roddddddd(a)null.net" for a while as well (and anything with
"ceerab@" or "R.A.Begbie" at the head of it). I demand a recount.

Miles better than the shambles two years ago (Ricky Ross, Barenaked Ladies

and Natalie Imbrooglywoogly are both third billing on Sunday on their
respective stages -- However will I decide who to see?
Did anyone see the quote in the papers about why they chose to hold the
festival during the World Cup Final weekend? It was the only weekend they
could guarantee Scotland wouldn't be playing. hehe.

I'm keeping out of the whole 'lait de tigre' (thanks for that, babelfish)

copyright-related giggle, here's a clipping from the latest NTKnow
(http://www.ntk.net)
The BPI this week discovered that RealAudio streams *could*
be recorded, after all. Shocked, *shocked*, by this
discovery, and feeling betrayed by assurances that Web
users could never in a million years have worked out what
that "Line Out" socket was for, they immediately demanded
compensation from all the music Websites. In a typically
brave stand, the BBC shut down all their Radio 1 RA
streams. We're just hoping no-one snitches to the BPI about
that "taping the John Peel Show off the radio onto a C60"
scam.

oh yes, the clash. my mother has just started catching up on her 'lost
years' in music which are the 80s. so she's got london calling in the car.
quite good actually. we met joe strummer on holiday in spain a few years
ago. because i was like, 10, i didn't know who he was - he was just this
weirdo. one time he shouted up to my mum on the balcony "got any brandy
anne baby?" and i seem to remember finding that very funny. he had an
absolute slapper of a wife and his children were called swish things like
Jazzy. he was very polite though. if i'd have known who he was i'd have
understood.
so that's my clash knowledge

hi all:
I've asked this before, but it bears re-requesting.
Does anyone happen to have a set list, a live cassette, or both from Belle &
Sebastian's now-legendary November 1996 show at the Borderline? I happened to
be in London the week of the show, happened to attend (solely on the
recommendation of an Indiepop List member), and happened to fall madly in love
with a band I'd never heard and only heard of a few days previous. In the
intervening 18 months, I've gotten quite obsessed with attending this show,
and am frustrated that I don't remember much in the way of specifics...
E-mail me privately if you can help. Thank you--
Mike

It seems that all earlier efforts at arranging travel via rented
automobile to Our Nation's Lovely Capital for the sinister picnic at Pam
Berry's house have collapsed under the pressure of flakiness and general
wanking about.
For those who like me are eager to drink beer in a different city and/or
bask like young lions in the sun while tolerating the presence of others
of the Belle and Sebastian mob, the Greyhound coach company has hatched a
fiendish scheme to haul us there.
If one buys a ticket at normal price three days in advance, one is
entitled to bring one's friend along for free, gratis, like so much
carry-on luggage, assuming one's friend maintains the same itinerary as
one's self.
As the cost of a round-trip Greyhound ticket between New York's
fresh-lemon-scented Port Authority Bus Terminal and Washington is $56,a
person would pay a mere $28, provided said person has an accomplice, to go
from the big city to Swamp-on-the-Potomac. The deadline is WEDNESDAY, so
hop to it.
We must, therefore, travel in pairs. If you are a stray die (as am I)
looking for a travelling comrade from NYC to the picnic this weekend,
please e-mail me directly.
Anyone interested as well in sitting with the away support as the
brave rojo y negro of the Metro attempt to gub the DC filth at RFK Stadium
in a fiery but doubtless ineptly-played soccer match can join me the
evening of the picnic. Previous encounters between the good guys and the
evil scum to the south have featured: rampaging Polish hooligans, pitch
invasions, rocket attacks on the Metro dugout, countless offside goals, a
"Warriors"-esque jaunt through the pitch-dark RFK car park, the sight of
Marco "El Diablo" Etcheverry offering the Empire End in NY a one-fingered
salute, the NY supporters forced onto the pitch at the end of play last
April by a charge of 500 DC bastards, and an aggregate score over two
years of 19-18 for the Metro.

Hello,
Just wanted to round up a few points posted over the above subject in
the last day or so, I will then no longer pursue the discussion. There`s
loads of other things to talk about - light banter is always better than
serious debate !!
Anyway, here goes.....
Chris wrote...
"People want to hear the music, we love the band, and wonder what the
big fuss is about."
This was a point I made in my original reply to Katrina. I am willing to
buy a copy on LP, even at a vastly inflated price, but it isn`t that
easy. So I need a copy. And as my CD player is more reliable than my
tape (which chews tapes randomly), I was hoping for a more long lasting
copy on there. I just want a playable copy of the album !
"Honey" wrote....
"David and Katrina have left the list now, which I think is a pity but
I guess they have their reasons - tangling the list up with
Jeepster's official position was always a problem "
I think it would have been nice, certainly from my point of view, for
them to have stayed and discussed the matter. I was sent a letter
telling me I was possibly going to be sued, and despite writing private
emails to both of them, no reply has so far been forthcoming. I have
sent a subsequent email saying that I will no longer pursue any type of
copy - digital or analogue - for fear that I will face legal
repercussions. Theoretically, if I get sued and successfully (highly
unlikely), so could a large number of you.
He continued (sorry this isn`t Tigermilk related !)..
"I did it for subjects too: no surprises for the number one slot here:
Tigermilk (39)"
What happened to Guy Chadwick/House Of Love lyrics ?
Joss wrote....
"The arguments (from digest 3/5/98) all seem to have been directed
rather personally at David and Katrina. Correct me if I'm wrong, but
isn't Katrina merely an employee of Jeepster?"
>From my point of view, I have only had contact with Katrina, a personal
email saying I was to be sued if I copied "Tigermilk". Granted she did
say that it was on behalf of Jeepster, but no argument was given as to
why. Of course it is infringement of copyright, but isn`t this an issue
when it is put onto tape ? I have no "axe to grind" with either of those
people, and have apologised to David for making his position on the list
uncomfortable, and I will apologise to Katrina when she explains herself
fully over the legal issues. I just feel like I am being made an example
of when many others have openly advertised for "Tigermilk" copies on
here for as long as I can remember.
Matt wrote....
"Also, Jeepster attempting legal action sounds to me a lot like "bark
bigger than bite" syndrome. Even if Jeepster hand such funds to take on
such court battles, the idea of a fan making a personal copy (i.e. not a
grand bootlegging operation) would be laughed out of court in the US."
I am not going to claim any sort of legal expertise on this issue, but I
am just one year short of qualifying as a solicitor and know a few bits
and bobs, enough to realise that theoretically I could be sued if I did
undertake this action. Proving it (bearing in mind I don`t own the
equipment) would be a nightmare, the case itself would be a very unsafe
one to undertake (and could cost a lot of money for little reward) and
attempting to justify the action after almost encouraging taping onto
cassette in the past would effectively make it a non starter. As it
would be solely for personal use - well, I wouldn`t want to pursue that
kind of case. But I am not going to risk it. And as I said earlier, the
implications of a successful case would be very far reaching indeed.
Finally, Sarah wrote....
"FOR GODS SAKE! Jeepster is a COMPANY! it needs to make profits, and the
oooh, STAYING LEGAL thing might help them in, um, SURVIVING?"
They would make a lot more in rereleasing "Tigermilk" on LP and CD than
suing me. The only things I have of worth are my old Sarah Records
stuff, a few other records, this computer, a couple of books and my
sanity. I don`t think that lot would secure the shareholders a foreign
holiday.
My last "Tigermilk" post.....but not my last post,
Cheers,
David (Master criminal of olde Bolton town).

Just back from the London picnic. According to David there were 52
people there at one time. If that result came up on the Grandstand
vide-printer it would have said Sinister - 52 (Fifty Two!!!!!).
I'd like to say more about it but having got home I find I'm absolutely
knackered. Suffice it to say that I went on my own but I met a lot of
realy nice new people. It was great to find out who the people behind
the email were. Everybody brought plenty to eat and there were games and
chuckles aplenty. At the end our guitarist knocked out a few acoustic
B&S numbers and we finished on a spirited rendition of Mayfly with
everybody joining in on the air-stylophone.
We ruled!

i'm horribly hurt that i was not listed as i high poster. i feel that i
should post much more often, despite the fact that i may not have anything
to share. i figure that's incidental. because it is my goal to prove that
i have no social life, and i will not rest until i can do so. it seems
that lately there just hasn't been that much mail, so i get bored easily
and then start badgering people in the chatroom. so i'll make some
statistics.
60% of the top ten posters come into the chatroom regularly. ok, that's
only one statistic. oh well, nevermind.
i think i'm only at thirty or something, so i'm going to seriously have to
work on this. also, isn't it funny that the magnetic fields were such a
big topic? i'm rather impressed really. for those of you who don't know
them, i'd suggest listening to them cause they're absolutely wonderful, and
all their stuff is available in the uk now, so you have no excuses. and
ask number 1 poster keith, he'll be sure to tell you. cause apparently, he
can't stop talking.
in some b&s-ey content, the other night i went to see elliott smith at nyu.
so i'm standing around talking to my friend for an hour and listening to
sinister! and lazy line painter jane! i got so excited that i went up to
find out whose cds they were. i know it seems silly in a city like nyc
where it's the top selling cd of 1997 at other music, but i somehow feel
the need to meet any and all b&s fans. so i met the guy (scott i think?
oh dear, i forgot) and his roommate is on the list!!!! woohoo, we're
taking over! so hey, you! i know who you are, so you'd best pipe up now!
that's how to get the kids talking.
ok, that's a fairly respectable post. some content, some criticism, some
humor for the kids (yes, there was humor, go find it!) and all rather
concise. honey gave me carte blanche to talk shit anyway, so may as well
use it. i love you all!!!

oooh, STAYING LEGAL thing might help them in, um, SURVIVING? for gods
sake. you KNOW the label WERE on the list (big appluase to david
walker), so why the fuck did you mention anything! twat! honestly, what
the fuck do you expect. if Katrina just just yer mate, she woulnd't
arse, but as worker, thats her fucking job. let her at least do that
wouldcha?
Duke - "home taping is kiling music" on record sleeves? seriously? you
ARE pulling my plonker! haha, thats magnificent! if its an invention
very well done you lazy line painter. heehee...
On a topic unrelated to anything , the clash. londons burning with
boredom now. i say LET the city burn!!!! then people might relaise
theres MORE to england! if Scotland and Wales get an assembly, the NORTH
wants one, let London fuck itself up and not the rest of us!
