song was featured in the great gasby. the simple and 'sublime' words are
beautful. something that seems reflected in current pop.
while listening to the magnetic fields i watched my cat hop onto the
stove and drink out of a pot that i had used to steam some vegatables
in. (it was cold and there was something so sweet about it)
so freaking beatuiful. simple and true.

finally, it is my long promised manifesto of list dreams. being in intro
to psychology and reading freud in a writing class has gotten me thinking
about dreams. so really, this is just the next logical step. first off,
swannie's rather odd dream involving bidding on stevie's socks:
>>6) B&S dreams...I had one as well. I don't remember much about it...except
that a bunch of us listees/chattees had gathered at some kind of bizarre
auction...they were auctioning off the band members' old mismatched
socks...and all I wanted was something olive green and argyle...and then
the auctioneer held up one right olive green argyle sock, formerly owned by
Stevie Jackson, I believe...and I rummaged through my pockets looking for
money but all I had was my student ID, and they wouldn't give me the sock
in exchange for a free meal in my university dorm's dining center...and I
started to yell at the auctioneer that he was being ridiculous, that this
was an unlimited salad bar we were talking here, when Paul and Tag and
Laurel and Tim and Chris and rachee all had to drag me kicking and
screaming from the auction.<<
first off, the use appearance of sinister chat people in your dream says
that they've become an integral part of your life. or at least that you
spend way too much time in the chatroom. (not that i mean to implicate
myself in this either.) the socks are odd, that we were bidding on them.
at least i assume i was there. because if there's ever an auction
involving the socks of popstars, i certainly don't want to be left out.
olive green is traditionally associated with military action, perhaps this
fits in with your willingness to fight for the socks. aggression, a
typical case of the id displaying itself in the dream world. and stevie,
well, he is charming little stevie.
socks are close to the feet. the feet are an erogenous zone. need i go
further with this?
now let's move on to the infamous song snake dream. chris leonard wrote:
>>I dreamt i was watching television. Does this illustrate how lonely i
am to dream of watching television? Pity me.
<snip>
So SM lets us in and he goes "i'm going to get a new song". And I go
"how do you *get* a new song" cos i'm now in the room cos it's my dream.
And he says "I *get* them from the song snake". And i say "whatever
is the song snake" and he says "hold on and you'll see".
SM then proceeded to open a cupboard. Inside was a snake, about a foot
high wearing a really smart white suit sort of like bryan ferry. He was
holding a fag in his wee snakey hands. This was the song snake the
"coolest cold-blooded crooner" on the planet. The song snake proceeded
to sing a song called "if i only had lips, then i could kiss you" which
i swear is the best song i have ever heard in my life. It got better
when the wall in SM's house disapeared to reveal the Blues Brothers band
in their Minnie the Moocher togs and the song snake done some magic
break-dancing.
After the song was finished SM went "i think i've got it" and proceeded
to sing the song in a girly manner with no backing at all. It sounded
friggen awful. The song snake said "Kid, you got it". Then i woke up
with a woody. <<
television is a typical metaphor for passivity. thus chris lacks control
of his dream life. then we get to the snake. why do i bother pretending
otherwise, it's phallic. so is this somehow implying something about stuey
m's songwriting method? are b&s the barry white of our generation? yup,
when the belle and sebastian comes on at the discos, the kids must all
start doing the forbidden dance and end up in a wild orgy. (i swear, i
haven't been reading freud). but on the other hand, doesn't "if i only had
lips i could kiss you" sound like a perfect belle and sebastian song?
somehow i can almost hear how it should sound just by hearing the name.
the average male has an erection once every night.
trousers added to the thread by saying:
>>This dream business is getting quite disturbing,,, On Tuesday night I
dreamt that all bands, by law, had to include a B&S song in their sets
every time they played live. Last night I dreamt that I met Richard the
drummer. We shook hands and he told me I had the softest hands he had ever
touched. What does it all mean?<<
well, i'd be more than happy to anwser that. the first dream is a classic
case of wish fulfillment. in the second, hands are our form of dream
expression. that you were shaking hands is a union, friendship. er,
repressed desires? i don't really want to touch the softness aspect.
then there's susannah's dream that she shared in chat. i believe that one
is pretty obvious.

i saw the dandy warhols open for the charlatans...they were alright i
s'pose...that not if you were the last junkie on earth isn't really
representative of their sound ...the girl was really cute. but for some
reason, she took her shirt off during the last part of the set--and continued
her fervored po-going...bizarre!!!

I remember:
"He came from somewhere, a world way out there, and he hasn't been back
since. Something something, friend;y faces, brand new places, and that's
the tale of the little prince."<<
the song ended, "perhaps someday he'll come your way." i was actually
rather fond of that show. the characters were adorable, the animation was
cute, and really i was fascinated by the idea of a kid having a planet to
himself. i think that's every kid's fantasy, to have a little place that's
so totally your own.
and someone else said:
>> The bird thing In COG was the Condor. We was talking about this very

i remember that the first city of gold was actually where the condor came
from. though i actually don't remember the show having a conclusion. how
drunk were you? ; )
and finally, we can't leave belle and sebastian out of this trilogy.
easily my favorite, perhaps because i always wanted a dog that i could
ride, like belle. boy searching through the mountains for his mother.
note the theme of the quest shows, children who are alone and searching for
family, or meaning, or something. hmmm... i'm sure someone could analyze
this.

Oh, the worst one *by far* was the Smurfs. My mom had diabolical methods
(usu. involving Pop Tarts) of luring my sister and I away from that show on
Saturday mornings so we'd make our ballet lessons on time. She didn't like
that show cause it only had one girl, and she was silly, all batting eyelashes
and piercing giggles. Anyway, my sister and I watched the Smurfs for old
times sake once, and we noticed that there's this male Smurf who wears a white
hat like the others, only his has this gaudy purple daisy stuck on it, and
when the other Smurfs do something neat, he exclaims "fa-AA-bulous!" in this
totally camped-up voice. Hmmm... the animators wouldn't be trying to imply
something, would they? wonder what my mum made of *that*...
and now the other bit (B and S content, albeit slim) -
Did you notice that during "Century of Elvis", you can hear the words to
"Century of Fakers" in the background? And that the run-out grooves of the
"3.. 6.. 9" singles say "Masterpiece."? (that always gets a smile from me -
warm and fuzzy, not derisive)
so I hear that the High Llamas will be touring near me... they're one of those
groups that I hear *about*, but never actually hear, but they have a Stereolab
connection of some sort, so they could be good. So whaddaya say, kids, are
the High Llamas worth going to see? Keep in mind that I just paid for me and
my best friend's ticket to the radiohead / bjork show, so I'm broke as the Ten
Commandments, and that falling in love with B and S has raised my musical
standards significantly...
love,
leeann

Back in the '30's there were so many great songs. This is one that I'm
particularly fond of. It's written by Irving Berlin.
What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do
What'll I do
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do

chatting to an A&R man friend of mine last weekend i said
me: why don't you sign B&S (he works for a major label)
him: i hear they are a nightmare to work with
me: in what way
him: well apparantly they vote on everything they do and if one of the band
votes against it they don't do it. i couldn't work with a band like that it
would kill me.
i don't know if this is the case or not but it would seem to fit in with the
general lack of gigs and new records.
sort of quite charming that attitude, and very indie
