Actually I've dropped the Claim for your delight and knew that you would
continue this thread. §;^D
Anyway, following my experience I thought I'd mention that the complete
Claim output suits a C60 cassette perfectly, but you could also compile a
C90 cassette adding some early Hurrah! stuff for the clever listees
pursueing your generous offer ...
"Hip hip" ... or ... "Are you scared to get happy ?"

Hello sailors.
This is another Tigermilk-less soul looking for a tape.
Somebody who has it, let me know (email or here). The best I can offer in
return is one of my irrelevant-to-B&S mix tapes, but I'm damn proud of them,
and my sister says they're the best mix tapes she's ever heard (and she would
know).
okay bye
Ari

Talking over an instumental track isn't new at all - and I'm sure it goes
way before the Arab Straps or Pulp. From my limited music knowledge (and
please correct me if I'm wrong), the first song that used this technique
was The Velvet Underground's "The Gift" (from the album "White Light/White
Heat"). John Cale reads the story on one side
of the recording and the band plays on the other. So if you adjust the
balance of the stereo, it's possible to listen only to the story, only to
the music, or to both of them at the same time.
"The Gift" is, in my opinion, the best "narrative song" ever made - from
the haunting first verse ("Waldo Jeffers had reached his limit") to its
breath-taking end ("through the middle of the package, through the middle
of the masking tape, through the card- board, through the cushioning and...").
By the way, how many of you in the list are also Velvet lovers?

Asunto: Sinister: (Arab Crap)..he...he...I started a discussion *neagghh*
The line I especially didn't like in the Arab Crap song was the
"she wanked me off"
I mean come on what sort of a sick, disgusting, "I just don't want to
know" lyric is that.
I've never ever heard Arab Strap, so I'm a bit left out here, but I think
that is a really fantastic lyric. What's the next line? And what is a "I
just don't want to know" lyric?
Anyone out there Welsh?
I think Hugh "he fisted me in the bogs" is Welsh, isn't he?

Hello! I'm going to take up a long time of your life now because this is
something that means a lot to me that I have written.
[And i bet in the digest this message is sandwiched between two messages
about pamplemousses and zanahorias :o)]
Duke wrote......
<<And if you were a 6th former into
poetry i think you'd probably relate to what they wrote and sang
about... can't comment too much because it's a long time since i was a
6th former writing poetry...>>
Ahem. I'm in sixth form. *Coughs*. And I wrote some poetry last week.
They made me do it for creative writing and they were pretty good if you
ask me. I'm well aware of the pretenious 6th former s/type. Why I found
it hard writing the poetry and I was scared of being arsey.
manics and B&S stuff....
Keith said they (MSP) were pants....well pants are very essential to
life keith. I...they mean so much to me. Not just because of their arsey
6the form lyrics, which by the way is complete and utter shite, because
tey believed in the importance of Rock, they talk about people and
things that I believe in, made me feel connected into soething for once.
I used to think I was cracking up at high school, I seriously did, then
I found the Manics and found this whole amazing cultural, lyrical
phenomenon. Where the hell else was a band who spoke to *me*, who talked
about poetry and poiltics? And also had very good ROCK music??? Its the
manics....
<<and the B&s connection? well i think that to a lot of people Stuart's
lyrics will seem like wet 6th form whimsy, and they will fail to
understand just what it is we are all getting so obsessively devotional
about. They will continue to prefer their radiohead and Manics records,
and of course that is their choice, and although it is the wrong choice,
it's the way of Pop. Long may it continue.>>
I love both. I love the Manics. I like Radiohead too, but not as much,
in small doses. I also love B&S. I choose all three. What road in Pop am
I now traversing I wonder? A bloody strange one methinks. I love Stuarts
lyrics. Why I ask myself? becaseu tey are melancholy and sweet. Like a
ray of sunshine shining through your window on a cloudy day. The Manic
lyrics, well, The Holy Bible is the horrible reality of depression,
anorexia, holocaust rolled into one jolly europop bundle, and I think
that it a frightening masterpiece of this godamm century. EMG is sad but
sweeping. If You're Feeling Sinister, is gentle lovliness, which I
adore. But it will never shock, confront. And I don't want B&S to. I'm
confused, I never know quite what I feel, but I know what I like,
probably to quote someone else there. MSP ..... heck I'm trying to
define what has alluded me for years now...... but oh dear I think I'm
getting most inarticulate. I will probably spend a few more wasted years
of my youth pondering bittersweet nothings about Pop! Manics, B&S AND
WHAT THE HELL IT ALL MEANS!
I got talking to my French teacher at Open Evening the other day. I had
written a quote in French by Sartre on the board as examples of what
languages you learna t newman bla bla. We got to talking about Camus. I
said that I couldn't afford a copy of the Outsider, and the Library
didn't have it. So Stuart goes, Oh, I've got loads, you cn have one! I
think yipee!
Lucky me now has a copy of L'etranger. Fully in French.
Its bloody hard enough to read in English!
But I'm getting through it. I neeed a better french dictionary though.
au resevoir. :o)
I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!!

Hi,
Anybody out there know what the best new band of las5t year, Cuff are
up to at the moment? Anything after Yellowmaddacoolivision would be
news. Did anyone else watch them on the excellent program helter
skelter on Central last year at around 4am?
If you haven't heard them, their lyrics are a more pessimistic B&S
style and the music like Reef's would be if they had any decent melodies
and a brilliant lead singer.

Bethey, you are a wicked, wicked girl. This was totally my idea and you
know it(along with naming my children Belle & Sebastian). I should get the
credit!! ME!! Listen to me!!!
Anyway, you just pop down your local somewhere, it may be your town hall.
Ask bethey - she changed her first name, but don't let her lie to you.
