<<the subject line has no relation to anything but I think it would be
mildy amusing to point out that my goth friend who loves Marylin Manson

YES yes me too! I know a chick who lives for Sanrio and Bis and anything
cute & fluffy, but she was also a die hard goth "in the days..." AND she
still goes to Manson/Korn/Misfits shows
She explains it as a sort of "yin-yang fascination, good vs evil, light

FINAL AIR MENTION (we can hope)
Did anybody else see the review of "moon safari" on Addicted to Noise
???
They say it's "not so hot"... the backlash begins...

B&S are David Lynch fans? i wonder what their fave movies are... don't
tell me; hal hartley features. i know, i know...>>
hmmmm
Well I am off to Londres, Ingleterre tomorrow! yay me. Can only hope
they play B&S on my flight too, which is unfortunately not Virgin
airlines but a girl can dream...
take care all, taracita

Oh yes, tis true
whilst flying back from the U.S on Virgin this monday I flicked through
the entertainment guide to see what was on offer : The Game (average),
Modern Times : DJ (hilarious - sorry if I'm behind the times on this one
but American TV tends not to specialise in such quality viewing) , I
looked at what the 'radio' channels had to offer & saw that Steve Lamacq
was hosting a look at what's new in 'Indie', including a mention of our
favorite Scottish N'err do wells.
So true enough, having listened to various dross including
Propellerheads (sorry dance-inclined listies) Modern Rock Song came on -
it was quite different to the sessions - it sounds more produced (states
the obvious) - the trumpets go on for longer - I think? & Stuart sings
'writing songs' instead on 'riding buses' - which i have heard is what
he sings live - & which I don't like as much.
True to form Mr Lamacq spoke over the ending saying they were going to
be massive in 98 - Ohh he is SO on the ball - so I'm not sure if it's
the same as the sessions (..the song has got to stop somewhere), but i
hope so.
Sorry, that's a bobbins review but it was about 3 in the morning & I was
trying too hard to remember all the differences
So a few questions
1/ Are there other promos of this floating around?
2/ Is Jeepster somehow affiliated with Virgin, & is that why they got
the scoop...?
3/ How come the annoying DJ gets to hear the song before the people that
matter...?
4/ is paying £250 to fly the most anyone has paid just to hear a song?
probably not, if Tigerinflation continues
5/ Is this all old news & should I shut up?
I thank you for your attention
Paul
P.S I bought the Air (obligatory mention) album yesterday & it's watered
down St Etienne b-sides ( sorry........)

In return ... any interest out there in German bands? I'm thinking
Element Of Crime, Sterne, Flowerpornos, Technotronic, Freundeskreis but
most particularly of Blumfeld. Worth knowing about (well I would say
that wouldn't I?)

Halloo people. I'm just sending a message before I piss off
homel. I've got a crit on my current project tomorrow, in which my
tutors are going to hammer my glorious artwork. Bastards!
However, I am going to Paris next week. Yipee! Woohoo!
Assorted expressions of joy and exaltation. So now I have to remember
some French in order not to look like a complete pranny when ordering
chips. We do have a native guide in the lovely shape of my friend
Isabelle, who's on my Foundation course, so it shouldn't be too
crippling trying to get stuff done. French touristy-type shop
attendants always have such an attitude though: y'know when you're
trying to remember how to say "un timbre pour Angleterre" and they reply
in really impatient-sounding snotty English, leaving you with no
semblance of dignity. Ah well.
Hurrah! I went to see Travis last Friday at the Astoria. It was part
of the NME Br*t Shows, but let's not dwell on such unpleasantnesses.
Good grief, but the Hybirds are shite. Ultrasound were really cool,
despite lovely choruses of "You fat bastard" from Cro-Magnon Man in all
his glory, and Travis were absolootly gorgeous. I love Franny! Also:
Wierd Occurrences: An Occasional Item:
So, you get on a train, get to Charing Cross to meet your friend
from Royal Holloway Uni, you get the tube to Tottenham Court Road, you
go into the Astoria, and you listen to some bands. You do not expect
several members of a band from where you live to be standing behind you
throughout. They're The Wogans, a really good local band from Medway,
I've been to loads of their gigs (it's such a cack word, that) here, and
I was a mite disconcerted, to say le moins.
Hey! Genevieve! You're making more sense than normal! If you
carry on like this no-one will think you're as cute any longer. Get
back to loopiness right away is my recommendation.
ByeBye
au revoir,
Liz.

>The artists get autonomy on Matador, so no one will be butting in saying
>"ummm...could you make this a little more like third eye blind?"
i'm sure matador is better than most (or at least some)....but i don't
think the artists are entirely autonomous. guided by voices, in
particular, has had problems getting matador to release the material they
want to release. i don't recall having heard that the label has wanted
them to *change* their sound, per se--but it has definitely "canned"
(temporarily or permanently, in some cases) some material in the name of
not oversaturating the market.

the only one.

I've never considered myself as belonging to a certain "camp" anyway, but
yes ... apart from some Jazz, my musical preferences are "confined" by
ranging from Sixties Beat/Garage/Psychedelia to contemporary P!O!P! nuggets
... from the Marine Girls to the Dog Faced Hermans ... from Sophia to
Dinosaur Jr ... from Sarah Records to Blast First Records ... and I'm
perfectly happy with my situation.

Deny this completely I'm afraid, I do like Suede mind you. And I'm speaking
for a lot of people on the list too. Currently on my desk at work : DJ
Shadow, Pre-emptive strike. Pete Townshend Who Came First, Marvin Gaye,
What's Going On, Neil Young Everybody knows this is nowhere and 3 feet high
and rising by De La Soul.
Never understood the manics, can't understand how such a pants band who
essentially sound like Foreigner with pretentious 6th form lyrics made it so
big.

In a message dated 98-01-28 09:05:08 EST, Lorraine sez:
<< Also, the discussion on where us B+S fans come from musically. Now,a
good point was made that this can all lead to "I'm more eclectic than

Most of my "indiepop" friends like B&S but there are plenty of others who love
the music as well. case in point: my brother-in-law is a thirty-something
investment banker in new york. his musical taste goes from bruce springsteen
to ella fitzgerald. not exactly a place to start but when he heard "tigermilk"
playing at our house he flipped. he has bought all their subsequent releases.
case two: my wife is a Hank Williams, Patsy Cline fan. She hates my "indiepop"
side but LOVES Belle & Sebastian.
this music has SERIOUS crossover potential and being signed to a major indie
here in the states can only help.
on a different matter: i have been trying without success to get two singles
by the band Comfort. I remember one of you lovely listees mentioning their
newest single. could you please e-mail me off-list to discuss a trade?
cheers,

This bit about eclecticism etc, B+S fans only being into this and that and
stuff. More of a point was the fact that probably the only people I've ever
met who are only into one specific type of music invariably aren't into it
for the music at all... Make of this what you will, but in my experience it
certainly seems to be the case. Virtually everyone I know and have ever
known have loved loads of different types of music, and thank christ it's
not been in some daft attempt to prove themselves better than others (more
knowledge, more rare records etc). Me and my friends also have always got
each other into new things, and it's always worked, cause I trust them and
they trust me (except when Stefan tried to get me into the Swans), which is
really what I'd say it's all about.
The general point being that I don't believe these "camps" really exist
(Suede/Manics, Indiepoppers), it may well be what people talk about cause
they think it's going to be of interest to others perhaps. If anyone wants
to disprove this please let me know if you belong exclusively to one of
these camps.
Phew... Bad day at work... nothing's working today.

Hi all,
Just a quick note on a couple of matters. Firstly, has anyone
else tried Ben F's Age game. HOW COOL IS THAT?? Way cool, I reckon. How
the hell does any one do any thing like that? Not only was it a good
laugh, but it also restored my faith in my abilities of mental
arithmetic. Cheers Ben. If you haven't tried it yet, seek it out and
maybe give it ago...
Also, the discussion on where us B+S fans come from musically. Now,a
good point was made that this can all lead to "I'm more eclectic than
you are" pointscoring, but it must be said that some people come from
outside either the 'indiepop' (i.e. Pastels (is it?)) or Manics/Suede
rockypoppers rockers scene (like moi). As some of you may know (or not,
I can't remember) I've been into B+S and other similar (to me) bands
for a while, but my musical background is completely different.
(Hip-Hop/Jungle/Happy Hardcore). I really like both Suede and the
Manics, and I'm getting more into the 'indiepop' (more similar to B+S)
scene every day. Make of this what you will, but I'm a case in point
that not everyone fits into these stereotypes, and maybe no-one does
completly. I'm not sure.
Lorraine, I'm into dance music (see above)
Sorry about the life story,
Loads of love,
GIDEONxxxx
