Dear "nicely jumpered skinny students",
I just laughed my surrogate tits off. Doesn't he know everyone needs
a bosom for a pillow?
Go on, who was the whispering punter?

ah... slight misunderstanding here methinks... the original posting
referred to Northern Soul as in rare 60's soul records played at clubs
that dust the floor with talcum powder in order to let those feet
glide....... Not A Northern Soul as in verve's second album...
you must give the lad a break tho'.i'd not heard of northern soul until
i'd joined this list (cripes!).. and being in australia - far, far away
from where all the fun began, it's an easy enough mistake to make.

I don't know if it's the same band, damn clever name though. If it is
the same band someone probably punched him on the face.
I remember seeing them on rapido years ago and their special gimmick was
they had a fabulous mini. I don't mean like a really good one, i mean
it was the fabulous-mobile, with"fabulous" spray painted all over it and
they used to drive it about shouting "fabulous!" out of the window.
Maybe that's an idea for B & S....They could call it the "Sebaticar" or
something, and drive about telling truant children to get back to
school.
I really must do some work
Cheery,
Chris

It was defintely in King tuts this time, cos I've never been in the

really smells.
Some people I know went to the venue dancing last year and said that
they were the only two people in the building that didn't have mullets.
Scary thought. I had a mini mullet when i went to see david lee roth.

I gave him what for by boycotting his records. That'll learn him.

Yes! Yes! Richard Brautigan rules! Go and read 'Tokyo-Montana

It's a euphemism for felching. It's obvious.

Ah, Guy Chadwick. Who can forget his lyrical insights 'I slip through
sand just like water and sand', 'it feels like summer, gosh my skin's
so itchy' (that one was about Hiroshima, believe it or not), 'and now
I know why I love my wife'. What a poet, what an artist, what a
prick.
Talking of poets, did anyone read about Jim Morisson being a habitual
bed wetter - I haven't laughed so much since the 'Come to Daddy'
video.

I gather that the Duke was too busy 'nibbling on Stuart Murdoch's
vegetable burrito'. For the benefit of our American friends, this is
also a euphemism.

um, don't know if anyone knows this but it's a book (andy
makes relevant gestures with his hands) about a scottish
band and their rise and fall and it was rather good although
the musical style was too proggy for my taste. anyway, it's
now a radio play (um, andy doesn't know the hand gestures
for radio play) in 4 parts and, well, i've missed the first
part but the rest of them are on radio 4 on thursday nights.
d. weir is played by john gordon sinclair (gregory's girl)
(iain himself is as scottish as scottish can be and v.
friendly given the twice i've spoken to him) and vocals are
by monica queen. there, a B&S link...
am just about to start on typing the gig reports in today's
papers. i'll start on the nme one and post it when i've
done. if anyone wants to do the (better) mm one then feel
free... i'll post them here and then put them on the web
page along with the pictures that are currently on paul's
page. but i'll leave it a week or so so as to not piss the
music papers off...

ahhhhhhh....... Herb Alpert!! (sorry, this is yet another reverie for a cheesy popmeister) what a dashing fellow he was (and so well turned out...) I have an album of his with a version of 'talk to the animals' from doctor doolittle on it. Its truly shit in a marvellous way. On the cover there is a photo of herb blowing his horn at a giraffe (ooeer!) who is gazing at his trumpet (double ooerr!). If you look really close, you can just see a currant bun sticking out of the end of his horn. What that man wouldn't do to attract the loving gazes of domesticated animals.....

I trust some of you will have joined me in reading Steven Wells' review in WH
Smith's yesterday. When I was younger he used to put the fear of God into me
but I'm a (bit) less in awe of people like him now. VIntage stuff though - for
those who haven't seen it, he somehow contrives to blame the popularity of
Belle & Sebastian's rotten, gutless namby-pamby ways on Tony Blair's election
victory. Now I'm all for associating New Labour with many undesirable social
trends, perhaps including the success of certain bands, but I just don't see
how B&S fit into it. Or perhaps I am part of the enemy and can't see the wood
for the trees. Anyway, Belle & Sebastian - too stupid for art school but
clever enough to get into music college. Makes a catchy slogan, don't you
think?
The MM review was really very fair, on the other hand. Funny that the good
(well, kind anyway) should go to Saturday's shambles while the Sunday matinee
should get such a slating.
So long,
Nick
