aaaah the folly of youth....
says the sixth former......
but i'm telling you! this is terrible! i have taped the best f B&S for
my friend. she thinks they're "lovely, really sweet" - but whenever i
mention them (and its not that often, i save that for here!) she groans!
WHY! (ok this has now turned into a pointless rant) She said the same to
nirvana. She said the same for the Manics. In fact, anyone who aint NIN
or Marylin manson is fucked. dearies what am i to do????
i think i shall look for an adventures in stereo record.
or CD
what say you????
and if anyone threw away my CD's collection i would cry and cry and cry
and harm myself a lot and never speak to the people who did it ever
again and be ruined, a nervuos wreck.
And Lizzie Daplyn, i used to have that Doroty Parker quote in my sig
ages ago! in fact i'm bored of Lisa Simpson, so i shall stick another of
the good old DP in the sig file for a while. hey, ryhmes....nice :)
I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!!

manchester was just plain weird though. yeah, doing gigs in
the round has been going on since before the globe theatre
was built. but usually the audience is around the players...
8)
(and yes, given that all the staging was brought in it could
easily have been arranged into a long, wide stage but i kind
of like the way they tried something different)
I was there on Sunday night. I liked it too, the way the audience was
corralled into such a small area, and subsequent band movements caused
maximum confusion, and most of us opted to stare hopefully at the
empty mike stands, instead of craning our necks to see the top of
Stuart M's head ... so I had time to look around me and listen to the
songs and watch the steady progress of a wee girl in a sheepskin coat
who crept past me and who wouldn't be able to see a thing unless she
got to the front.
Afterwards, driving to Birkenhead in the pouring rain we talked about
how we felt about it. Four people's conclusions approximate as
follows: Futile pilot were shite. The stage setup was unconventional,
but worked. B&S kept us waiting an awful long time before they came
on. But that was OK, because they were brilliant, technical hitches
notwithstanding. Maybe a bit more polish next time but who wants
slickness?
I've seen a lot of bands (beginning with Japan at Edinburgh Playhouse
when I was 14 in, er, 1982) and B&S was by turns one of the most
moving, and quirky, and funny, and flawed. I think that's a good
combination. Even the flawed part made no difference. It was just part
of the experience.
One note of dissent: I think Orange Juice's version of In A Nutshell
could never be bettered. Or is this too dogmatic?

Andrew...I don't know about you but I love my mother dearly and I am an extremely passive fellow. However, should my mother ever sell/throw or give away any of my B&S cd's, I would surely be forced to break both of her legs.

wasn't he prentice in 'the crow road' too? and in that thing
in the 'love bites' season on bbc2 recently (is three things
a season?). i'm sure in that one he went into the phone box
near the beginning and said 'hey, it's me, andy dean...'. he
got beaten to a pulp later though. and all because he fell
head over heels for some foxy chick and kept buying her
washing machines. won't find me doing that. no sireee...
oh, and in small faces they used the phrase 'young team' to
describe one of the tong gangs. and the new mogwai lp is
called 'mogwai young team'. cool.

My friend phoned me up yesterday and said 'I've got £55 of Christmas record vouchers to spend"
I asked "What are you going to buy?"
She responded "Urban Hymns"
I cursed and swore and told her to buy "If You're Feeling Sinister"
That's my fourth convert in a month.
Do I deserve a medal?
Please say yes.
Has anyone else converted loads of people?
If you do want to help convert people, go to http://www.btinternet.com/~jon.g/ - where my album of 1997 contest is taking place. Urban Hymns is catching up with If You're Feeling Sinister (I changed the rules so that IYFS would be let in) and if no other b&s people are going to win, the evil ashcroft may win. Quick!! Run!! Or I may have to change the figures subtly!!

<<("a man could lose himself in London!"). >>
ooooh I love saint etienne, too, along with B&S one of the few bands i
have yet to see live that I really really want to...
<<So I was wondering how everyone else would feel if someone threw away
or
> sold all your CDs? Because I was utterly frightened!!!>>
That WOULD be devastating!!!! Good luck
But on a serious note... I know someone whose entire house burned down
over the holidays... and well, Cds weren't high on the list of
priorities.
<<now Radiohead, there's a different story... Completely turgid,
nothing new at all, I'm in pain etc. etc. >>
All a matter of opinion... mine being that OK Computer probably
WAS the best thing released last year....
<<but do you remember any of the other bands (morrissey) mentioned?
Although poor old Mozza seems to have the Kiss of Death for
up-and-comers, to his credit he WAS an early supporter of Suede. Other
than that... NO. (Gallon Drunk anyone?)

Woodentops, James, Easterhouse, Suede... Think that's all I can remember
Suede did OK I suppose, but then, it's easy to see why, there's no great
*curse* involved, it''s just that all the other bands were crap.
Cheers,
Keith.

A number of points:
1) Frankly Mr Shankly - I always thought that the whole song was a
reference to every right thinking person's favourite film, Billy Liar, in
particular the scene where Billy tells his boss, Mr Shadrack, that he's
packing his job in to move to London ("a man could lose himself in
London!"). Unfortunately, Frankly Mr Shadrack didn't rhyme. While I'm on
the subject, there's a fantastic essay on Billy Liar as the founding myth
of Brit pop culture in Jon Savage's book Time Travel. And Stephen Duffy's
"Julie Christie" is the greatest song ever written, and would sound just
dandy in a B&S 'stylee'.
2) Consistency - May I just say that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin
of little minds?
3) Laurel's contraceptives – It's quite clear that she doesn't need to use
any, as HoneyPaul is having all her babies.
4) Let's have a party!
5) Duke, you are not alone in feeling old and weird. Prompted by your
remarks on the Woodentops, I dug out my copy of Giant, and yes, it sounds
fantastic!
Stephen

And all I have to say is:
The prospect has never entered my mind because my family live in peace now
they know the clutter is no ordinary clutter, but Belle and Sebastian
clutter. Make your family listen to IYFS, and peace will be restored.
Honestly.
