Tag - who is this Stephen Trousers of which you speak? I ask simply because I,
Stephen, Yours Truly (copyright Adam Ant) tried to change my pisspoor sign-on
name to Trousers last week, and there's someone already using the name on AOL.
Tigermilk is also taken, naturally. At this rate, I'll have to be Mr Lilac
Time or something. (Weeps unconsolably)

Fucks sake, people. Hey Honey! Any chance you can bring back that "Happy
Bunnies" tagline, cause since you've changed it, things have become pish.
For the record, the e-mail Tag was bitching about was when I tried
anagramming his signature and got "Robert LL McTaggart". When I e-mailed
him, I didn't actually know what his real name was -- all I knew was the
sign-off "Tag". My e-mail was asking if my anagram was his real name. I
never got a private reply from him, just a heap of abuse to the list.
FWIW, I have no idea why "Tag" has such animosity towards me. I post no
more and no less shite than most. Hey Tag! If you *do* have a problem
with what I post, then kill-file me. Otherwise, quit gurning.
I hope you catch a virus from the enemies in Star Trek: ATTRACT BORG
GERM!
Now onto flufflier topics:
First of all, does anyone else find that jon.g's RealAudio file "jumps"
at 4m42s, or is it just my copy?

Fuck me! It's brilliant! I raked it out after seeing Demons played on

up to the standards of Fuzzy Logic.
Finally, I've just put up a beta of my CD Database browser on my website.

this is odd...i must have some part of my brain perma engraved to B&S...it
was JUST last night i learn of thid 'Wrong Love'..and my DREAM last night:
I was walking down the street when suddenly i see stuart murdoch selling
hotdogs,even in my dream i'm debating in my head which song i should ask him
about,so i go up to him and ask him to play 'the stars of track of and
field' and he kneels down towards me like i'm some child and talks very
gently "but genevieve,i can't PLAY that here,i'm a hot dog vendor" and i'm
like 'oh,ok' and then he goes on "listen,have you heard Wrong Love?" i start
sobbing "no no,you can only get it on the internet and i i haven't yet and
my computer is mean" he nods understandingly "well when you do i want you to
listen VERY carefully to the last 15 minutes of the song..."
and tehn he told me to go to this room that had a magic plastic couch in
it,the Belle And Sebastian couch,it was magical because you couldn't crawl
under it (i don't know why that makes it magical) and i was going to draw a
little picture(a box) on when i see that Stuart David wrote 'fuck off!' to
me on the couch and i was upset...oh dear...
chugga chugga choo choo

a lot of people have been moaning at me to mail them news when we have
it so they don't have to stress their mailbox too much by being on
sinister.
since it does make sense to have a news only list (you won't be able to
post to it!) that sends you a mail everytime there is news. i've gone
and created one!
ONLY jeepster records, the band and fan club will EVER mail you news
from this source. as such it is guaranteed spam-free.
you can subscribe and unsubscribe via the www ONLY. visit the url below

I had an idea about setting up a web site for B&S listees.......a place for
us all to put our ideas..pictures..words...thoughts...whatever..... I know
that this is the point of this list, but a web site offers more
possibilities......... any thoughts on the idea???.....it could be fun...!

hullo!
oo dear. but yay! there are people *younger* than me on the list! So,
you people who insist on calling me a Young Pup, I'm not the youngest
anymore! ner!
ok, well not physically anyway, i think mentally i am about 3/98
depeding on mood swings.
Someone wrote concerning the suddenly mulit-posting-but-jolly-good-chap
cos he put the B&S session that i missed on line, except i can't get it
cos my browsers knackered and i have no idea how the college will react
to a pooter blaring out B&S tunes....
oh, yeah, someone wrote them about "do they really KNOW hoe special B&S
are?"...well, please mate. i mean i know i'm a whole year (WOO!) older
than jon and bethey, but the ages don't make any difference to how you
feel about a band - you just might get patronised a tad more...hmm...
*i* know B&S are special. i know this because the way they make me feel
is special. i've got involved with a load of stuff that is "special".
i've suddenly got stuck for words and don't know what i mean. i don't
consider B&S the next step on from Boyzone if you mean that.
i've not exactly quite said what i wanted to say, i can't sum up.
I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Message text written by David/Ruth McCurrypersonthingy
>Everyone I knew at university (in
Newcastle) had no real desire to study - we were just wasting precious
time. Fun, yeah, but a waste of time. Towards the end, I taught groups of
first-year students English Lit, and none of them gave a monkey's about
reading the books or thinking. <
Thing is, the reason I did take Eng. Lit. was because I always loved
the idea of taking a subject that involved reading and thinking about books
for 3 or 4 years...maybe I'm just sad, but that kinda thing has always
appealed to me- that's why I'm not taking art, cause I don't think i'd
learn all that much except how to paint better/differently. Of course, I've
always preferred reading the books to actually writing about them, but
that's not really the point, is it?
Anyway, favourite gigs...um, B&S are/were one of my faves, I'm sure
(oh, it seems like so long ago now). Music seems to be the only thing that
really makes me happy just now, there's a certain uplifting quality in
melancholy that gets me every time. I dunno, for every good point at a gig
there usually seems to be a bad one that brings it down (like idiot
crowdsurfers landing on my head & nearly breaking my neck. Not fun.)
So, yeah, Belle and Sebastian. Because it was so beautiful, and I fell
in love with them all over again- just as I did when I received a copy of
Tigermilk in the post from the lovely david on Friday...mmm, bliss.
Todays favourite B&S songs;
'She's Losing It', and 'I Don't Love Anyone'. Yum.
Oh, and would someone be able to tell me the set list from the Embra
show last year? Would be ever so grateful. Cheers.
luv always,
Debbie xxx.

Hi everyone
Traffic chaos round Covent Garden right now, as there's some kind of
student march going on. They've got huge drums and everything, like a south
american football crowd. They seem to be protesting about tuition fees. I
think there should be a minimum age of 25 for university entrance. That way
you might actually know if you really want to go or not. If most people got
jobs (or whatever) between the ages of 18 and 25, I bet they'd be a lot
more sorted at the end of it. Oh dear, I have a feeling this isn't going to
be a terribly popular point of view. Everyone I knew at university (in
Newcastle) had no real desire to study - we were just wasting precious
time. Fun, yeah, but a waste of time. Towards the end, I taught groups of
first-year students English Lit, and none of them gave a monkey's about
reading the books or thinking. We used to end up talking about Neighbours.
Perhaps this is a reflection of my appalling teaching skills.
Anyway, moving on to the point.
This is a very dull question, but there's some interesting shit around it.
What is the best concert/gig/commercial rock-oriented event you've ever
been to?
The thing is, I really like plays and drama, but I have never ever seen a
piece of theatre that has made me feel amazing. Whereas I've seen loads of
mediocre bands who have, somehow, made me scream, cry, jump up and down
like a supergrass video, and so on. It's always odd bands like the Paris
Angels that stand out in my memory. And the Waterboys at Oxford Apollo in
1989: absolutely bloody incredible. They were really on to something for a
while there.
I saw the smiths three times, and I long to say that they knocked my little
black socks off, but they didn't. I was too excited to enjoy them. That
sucks, doesn't it? I think the best concerts always involve some form of
euphoria. Paris Angels did (drug-related, maybe) and the Waterboys in a
(god I hate this word) spiritual way.
Which leads me to B and S. I must have seen five or six hundred bands over
the last fifteen years, but nothing remotely comparable to our hero/ines.
How can this be explained? Are there any other people on the list around
the age of 30 who feel the same? Jon.g and bethey are only fifteen: do you
understand quite how unique this band are? Even though they shamble around
on stage like a bunch of fools, the end result astonishes me every time.
I'm going to have a lie down. You need an afternoon nap at my age.
Lots of love, apologies if this seems aimless.
DAVID
