finally someone mentioned a show i know: i was addicted to Mathnet
segments for a while. and was it fraggle rock with those
underground muppets? i think it was.
scarrie little suckers.
ok well, it's really too early and i'm falling back asleep and i
have work in an hour. *sigh* everyone have a wonderous day never
the less - a n g e l a
oh yeah - finally heard something by nick drake (sort of). it was
mingled in between sounds of techno, but i persevered and played
my cd over the other one being played in a computer lab anyway,
straining to heard what i've been missing for so long.
so what do you recommend a novice nick drake fan starting off
with? email me personally unless the list wants to be innundated
with titles they alreadt own - g r a c i a s p o r l a ' l u v '

Well hello!
Here's a new face for you! Silly me, you can't even see my face, but well
I'll try to draw it the best I can :) there you go, but of course sometimes
it's more like :( and sometimes even in between. If you ever wake me up in
the morning, it looks like this %& but I really hope you won't ever have to
see that.
So maybe I should just quickly tell you a little bit about myself: I live
in the country of polarbears, professional snowball-fighters and people
with funny intonation when they speak English; Sweden! (But you'd already
guessed that hadn't you?)
At the moment I study at the University of Lund in the south of Sweden (and
to be honest I can'd see a single snowflake when I look out the window, but
I couldn't very well tell you that and ruin your image of Sweden? Ooops,
now I've done it anyway!)
In the last few months I have gone completely trumpet-crazy and I keep
playing the lovely trumpet-solo on Beautiful over and over again (and maybe
here's some news for you ( I thought that maybe if I bribe you with
information, you'll all start liking me, naah...): on the next B&S album
there's supposed to be particularly lovely trumpet solos on The Gate and
Dirty Dream Number Two, but maybe you all knew that?)
Well, well, as usual I have been babbling on, but I'll try to keep it
shorter in the future (don't believe a word I say).
So long and vi ses igen! Anna

Now that Tag has pissed off to Sweden, I feel it would be a good time to
revive an old Sinister tradition - gossiping about people behind their
backs! I tried it when Paul went to France, but no one took any notice. Any
takers this time around? I'm only joking of course.
I have a funny feeling no one's even reading this, except our friends in
Japan and Thailand, who presumably don't celebrate Easter. Which reminds me
of the saddest song of all time ever: There is a Green Hill Far Away.
My initiation into the world of reggae continues apace. After the dizzying
heights of Yabby You and The Congos, Horace Andy feels like a bit of a
letdown. Hopefully I'll get over it, it's always difficult to judge on first
listens, but it seems to lack the imposing authority of Yabby You and
friends, and the yearning plaintive quality of The Congos' beautiful
singing. Makes me want to be repatriated. On the plus side, there's a track
called "Ital Vital" that has something of a Pigeon Street vibe to it due to
the prominent use of syn-drums. So my question for reggae-ologists
everywhere is: What could possibly top Yabby You and The Congos?
Yay! Next week I'm (hopefully) going to the Pyrenees! Of course I'll be
keeping my eyes peeled for any sign of that bloodygreat St Bernard dog we
all know and love.
Peace List!
Peter

Hello You,
I'm away to the land of ryvita, death metal gang warfare and Stakka Bo
tomorrow. 25% of Swedish road accidents are caused by Moose, you
know. And Doctor Albarn is a dentist. Last year I stayed at a couple
of nights in this ace flat belonging to a my friend's metal fan
sister, it was all chrome and leather. The owners weren't there,
they'd gone fishing. Not very rock at all, I was quite disappointed.
We played Metallica before we went out, and that set us up nicely for
the evening ahead.
Talking of rock, Peter wrote:

It's a killer track, Peter. Full-on balls out RAWK. They were a real
tight outfit, weren't they? Some really heavy duty axework, then
lighters aloft high octane power charged anthems. I get a full-on
robot chubby just thinking about it.
Has anyone tried playing "If you're feeling sinister" backwards?
Sinister doesn't even begin to describe it. At one point you can
clearly hear Murdoch inciting us to organise a big foxhunt. "Release
the hounds", he screams, like a hideous cross between Ozzy Osbourne
and Monty Burns, "Tear up the fox! Bloody vermin. Worrying moi
lifestock. Gerroff moi land".
Goodbye, I'm going to Sweden now.
Love Tag xx

bah. he didn't read mine out either. or any ones i know. maybe it was a
conspiracy and he had hundreds of illegitimate children scattered around
the country so he only ever read out theirs. or maybe our mums lied to us
and never actually sent in the birthday cards. or maybe i'm talking crap as
usual. yes, i think the third option is the most likely...

Oooh honey it's the Easter holidays!Lots o chocolate... Yeahaaaaa...finished
my mock exam and I finished my 'The Meeting Of Belle And Sebastian'
claymation...i umm sorta chnaged what the orginal story was..I couldn't have
Belle and Sebastian running in a field of daisy forever (various limbs were
starting to fall off) Soo...icky boy comes up and grabs Belle in the coffee
house and she'll have none of that so she smacks him and punches him and
then you see the crumpled heap which is the boy...then we have the running
in a field...,they embrace,and Sebastian takes a poison flower growing from
the land and they feed each other the petals and fall down,in an eternal
embrace. All i gotta do is edit it now....claymation is fun but i thought i
would throw the characters at chippers head so i am glad it is finished,i
was playing tigermilk but my friend came up and put on nirvana instead,she
thinks my music is too happy...

Yes,i would so much like it if my records store boy wasa few years younger
and would go to my school,i'd have to protect him though..whenever any of
'the boyz' think a guy likes me,they try and beat him up..stupide teenage
boys...but we could swing down the halls listening to B&S..Last year a
Spanish boy came to the school and I called him Gutensberg,no romantic
interest..I jsut wanted him to be my friend..but he was scared of me and ran
down the halls from me! I even wrote him a note and he told me if i could
'please be fucking of' not OFF, OF! Grrrrrr! And he signed it 'Man Of
Jupiter' which I still don't understand...
Hmmmm..I really only saw one boy on the street that was like 'chemistry!' I
came out of the bookstore,and there he was smoking his cigarette..I kept
walking,stopped almost got ran over,thought 'woah,go back there
but when i went back' alas he was not there...
But oh yes,on the the 37 that's where dream boy should be,but is he? No..he
is going 'all de souls of thee people i have killed are inside meee
ahhhh!!!Youu are my truue love!!!Livve in my castle of darkness'..so i just
keep looking out the window
>One last thought: when listening to B&S, are you inspired to cook anything

>
>- -- apricot buttermilk scones
>- -- blueberry waffles w/ fruit salad & whipped cream
>- -- roasted garlic, tomato & basil soup
>- -- the infamous caramel brownies
Oh and chocolate eclairs with custard..it take me half a day to make
them,but it's worth it...!
Pulp:
I haven't listened to the whole thing yet but 'Dishes' is so lovely...! That
song should really be about love,and not dishes,the music asks for it. And
the next big project for media is a 'film noir' and i get to be a femme
fatale.. Whoo sounds fun...we shall have 'This Is Hardcore' playing as a
pair of legs emerge from a car...yeah,that nsaty teacher threw me out as a
Draculette 'bad attitude' 'missed rehearsal' missed? I was sick!! does she
expect me to just lie there contorted with pain while going 'I'm sorry the
bridge is outtttt'
according to YM I am supposed to look in the mirror each mornin and go 'I am
all that and a bag of chips,I am all that and a bag of chips'
my happy mood is fading from a movie my parents are watching in the
background...'Rosewood' i think? I am feeling digust for the human race.I am
feeling angry so now i will have to listen to B&S..no other band has quite
teh comforting feeling....Stuart Murdoch should release of a cd of
lullabies.He is so soothing.
more ym quizzes are in my head....what really bothers me is their
embarrasing moments...how come the school football team always happens to be
there? It's always 'I was in Peru rowing a boat,when i fell into a river,and
almost drowned,but when i looked up there was the football team laughing at
me because my shirt came up,they could see everything,i was so embarrased'
hey,thats legal in ottawa anyways...
i give you my love honeychild,
Genevieve ;)

oh oh oh! i'm so excited reading all of this... FRAGGLE ROCK! i think that's
what she's alluding too.. they lived in that cave and ate glass, i think.
their main enemy was the shaggy dog that was always sticking his paw in the
hole. and SQUARE ONE TV! yeah, i was obsessed with that show... you know how
they would take songs and make them into math related songs? well, i used to
drag a tape recorder in front of the tv and tape them.. i have the cassette
somewhere.. i think i'll find it and listen to it.so.. sigh, great show
(pssst.. my uncle produced "thundercats" and those delightful christmas
specials with the wooden characters, ie. rudolph the red nosed reindeer, and
frosty the snowman that are shown every year)

these days i have been scrawling "belle&sebastian are god" on my desks in
class in the hopes that someone in another class will see it, understand and
search me out. however, so far this has proven to be in vain.. i don't know
one person in my school who likes them, unless ive introduced them to b&s
myself. well, boo for them cos it's my last year there anyway!
ooooh, can't wait for the toronto picnic! (anyone have a date yet?)
