So this *adorable* Japanese girl called Yoko is visiting the states, and
LOVES pop music....But has NEVER heard Belle & Sebastian....It's hard for
us to talk alot, as she speaks very little English.....But she's been
ringing me almost everyday....(We keep missing eachother)....We finally
hooked up last night, and in my car she says..."Who....um....your phone?
Who IS he?" She means Stuart M. singing "Sebastian you're in a mess....."
on my answer phone. "He...he...pretty, lovely, voice!" I ask if she's heard
Belle and Sebastian, she says "what? who? Belle??" So I pop in
'3...6...9...Seconds of light.' And she's all wide eyed and reading the CD
over, and over..."I like!!! I like!!! Belle??? Belle???" So I write it down
for her and she says "sank you!!! sank you!!!" I was all warm and fuzzy,
even tho I sneezed during the whole gig we went to, and Dub Narcotic got
caught up in snow....And I promised her a B&S tape, which will be waiting
in Japan for when she returns.....Don't know why i'm spewing all
this.....Guess you would have had to be there. If anything, it cheered me
up since Andy Dean's blocked me from his email and called the American
Stalking police. I guess I *can* be pretty frightening.... *sigh*. My bear
will now be re-named Yoko. Maybe.
*sigh*

>> Tigermilk... should not be re-released. Let it stay collectable.
I can't stand any more of this. Are you honestly disappointed in IYFS
because it's so easy to get? By far the best thing that can happen to
Tigermilk is that it is re-released on all formats at the usual full price.

else by B&S which I can't remember unfortunately

I know this is a worn out request, but here it is again. Would anyone be
willing to make a copy of Tigermilk for me. Just e-mail me and tell me what
to do. Thanks

'This Life' is/was a risque (sometimes) BBC 2 drama about a group of
young lawyers and their partners living together in a flat
in London. Lots of swearing/sex (hetero and
gay)/drinking/drugs etc etc. It gained a large cult
following and I actually really loved it too. There were two
series - the second being far better, and there has been
talk of a third, although most of the cast have been offered
wonderful parts in other things as a result, so there may
not be another. I hope this answers it!

ok, a transcription of the recent interview on the Net, that
radio 1 showbiz news type thing that goes out 3 times a day.
it's a lot longer than the bit that they quoted on the
ceefax page.
radio 1:
now, scottish 8 piece b&s say they're happy to remain
elusive to the media. the band were formed at the beginning
of last year and have been the subject of much industry
interest. now they're starting to sell some records too.
like this ep called '3, 6, 9 seconds of light' which is a
top 40 hit this week. the band hardly ever do interviews but
two of them, chris and sarah, did talk to us. chris says
they don't believe in playing the media game.
chris:
it doesn't make your record any better if you go in the nme
telling everyone you're the best band in the world. you know
what i mean? i mean, you make a record and you stand or fall
by the record and if people like it they'll buy it and if
they don't they won't. you can't make people buy something
they don't like just by going in the nme every week telling
everyone you're the greatest band in the world (when). it's
pointless. it's really easy to say that, it's a lot harder
to give respect where it's due to other people and just keep
quiet.
radio 1:
the band say they'd rather let the songs speak for
themselves and even hate explaining what their music's like
chris:
you don't have to give 'em an idea cos the only idea they'll
get is when one of their pals go 'oh, i heard this record
and it's good, listen to it' or something like that. because
that's the only way i've ever got into any bands in the
past, all my favourite bands, it's certainly not by reading
about them in the press. y'know, you hear it on the radio
and you go 'that's great'
sarah:
everything seems to change from one day to the next anyway.
each song comes out sounding completely different. it's not
really worth trying to shove it into a category cos we'd go
and make it pointless the next time we pick up our
instruments.
chris:
it all depends on what part of the menstrual cycle we're all
in...
radio 1:
and you don't want to catch them on a bad week, believe me.
anyway, if you like them, b&s will be releasing a new album
but not until early next year.
[end]
i'd not heard chris' voice before and it's kinda soft and
sweet (which he probably won't thank me for - it's on par
with having a teddy bear named after you in the 'ick'
stakes). sarah's accent was a lot less pronounced than i
remember it. still drop dead gorgeous though.

All right? It's Neil here. My favourite bit was when we went
to a club with Fountain with Fontain out of Versus and Janis
out of Slater Kinney. And me and Stevie taught New York to
dance cos they were all pretty NY cool at the beginning of
the evening, but we melted the ice-maidens' and by the end
of the night we had them dancing just like out of
"Goodfoot".
Apart from that, the best bit was asking the waitress out
in the diner we always go to for breakfast, and taking a
total beamer and starting shaking, and having her staring me
in the eyes, going, "Why are you shaking? Why have you gone
all red?"
And fluffing it.
Here's Stuart Murdoch...

I don't know how many people watch Sessions at 54th Street religiously,
but last night was The Squirrel Nut Zippers and the Gipsy Kings. Two
fantastic bands! If you have a rerun in your area, check it out!

PS -- Someone replied to my request for a Tigermilk tape, but that seems
to have fallen through...anyone else able to help (at the risk of
disintegrating their vinyl)?

21 The missing link between Belle and Sebastian and Lemurs.
I haven't seen the site yet, but if it's got all the little
stories from the sleeves on, I'll be jumping for joy in a
lemur-like fashion.
It's ironic isn't it? All this time and no-one has so much
as mentioned our ape brothers and sisters and then on the
same day someone says they don't give a monkey's what Belle
and Sebastian look like, and then they are honoured with
their own webpage on leftover lemur space. One small step
for Belle and Sebastian....
I agree with what the person said about overseas
distribution. Although mail order is available, it's not the
same. Going into a shop and buying a new record is a very
Pop experience (probably) whereas sitting around waiting for
the postman isn't. Well, it's less fun anyway. I'm not sure,
but I think quite a few bands do very well financially just
by being available. The reviews are always uncannily good
for records that you can actually buy. Plus the reviewers
don't have to resort to copying stuff out of the NME. And
it's not just independant labels. I've been quite heartenend
to see that people in Britain and Ireland have the same
problems as me. I thought it was "worldwide release date
except for Gipuzkoa" but it looks like it's more widespread.
Rant over.
