Hello!
Any thoughts on the possibility of B+S writing radio jingles. Half way
through listening to beautiful I had to check wether It was the radio or
not (Not that I listen to radio 4 of course).
just a thought.

Oh... also, forgot to mention. If anyone's at all interested in Seymour Stein then Clinton Heylin's "From the Velvets to the Voidoids" and "Please Kill Me" by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain are good places to learn about his dealings with the late 70's New York Punk scene. Unfortunately these are the only kind of books I read - I'm not at all well read... I have read almost all of the Mr.Men books though.

I'm glad to see we have a (part-time) heavy metal fan on the list. What do your
heavy metal mates think of Belle and Sebastian? Poofters, I bet.

Hear Hear... glad to see you're loud and proud about it. I'm personally quite partial to Motorhead at times, and ACDC - Back in Black and Hell's Bells - cracking tracks - I'm a big led Zep fan too, and Purple, Sabbath etc. Unlike quite a lot of my friends however, I've never had a hairy metal past - My mate Kevin's got loads of metal albums and has been to see Whitesnake three times. Myself however I've never brought my daughter to the slaughter or anything like that (partly because I don't have a daughter and I don't know where the slaughter, or even what, it is). Most of the guys at work have had a metal past too - well, that's computer scientists for you.
I did drag one of my metal pals from when I was at school to see Belle and Sebby at the Mitchell Library last year and he thought it was great - maybe there is a connection.
So I did him a Kracking Kompilation of B+S "hits" for him to play on his walkman.
Keith.

I've only heard the Seymour Stein about twice but I'm sure I can
remember some lyrics about 'flying home alone' and it being kind of
sad. So I thought (especicially with the alliterative name) he was
fictional but based on a real guy. Now I know he's real I was
thinking maybe Stuart just had some brief meetings with the guy,
liked the name and used him as a sort of template or something. just
a thought...
cheers, neil
PS Maybe if he'd heard of Lenny Waronker he could have used that
too...They both sound the names you would pick if you wanted to
create a fictional record label boss.

My favourite just now is Beautiful. I especially like the bits about
her being mental and trying her hand at pornography and the pretty tune.
And what's more this is the first CD I've ever bought. I just got my
first ever CD player, you see. I feel like a vinyl traitor. The CD
Single only cost 1.99. Is this normal? Seems very reasonable.
Who liked John Denver? I did. "Leaving On a Jet Plane" is my kareoke
piece. Jeff Buckley and John Denver in the one year. bummer.

I have to say that I rather agree with the Duke on this issue.
'Beautiful' is the one for me, for now.
I think it's also worth noting that the covers seem to be becoming more
and more like indie pop covers from years back.
Am I talking rubbish or do youi good folk know what I'm on about?

Seymour Stein is listed as one of the collaborators for the sleeve art of Jeff
Wayne's War of the Worlds! Well I never!
He also rejected the second album by Brian Wilson and Eugene Landy (psychiatrist
to the stars), "Sweet Insanity", thus depriving the world of the chance to hear
Brian's hardcore rap song, "Smart Girls". Insiders say that it gives Vanilla Ice
a run for his money.
Stein is also associated with someone called Lenny Waronker.
I'm glad the subject of Seymour Stein has come up again, because I've been doing
my homework since the last time. I've got more Seymour facts, but I'll keep them
for next time.
My favourite song on the new EP is "Beautiful". And I think this record is the
best they've done so far, music, lyrics, little story, cover photo, the lot.
I'm glad to see we have a (part-time) heavy metal fan on the list. What do your
heavy metal mates think of Belle and Sebastian? Poofters, I bet.

Hi everyone - I'm really bored and lonely. Can someone e-mail me please
so that I have someone to talk to. I bought the new single today - it's
wonderful, isn't it.
Love, Rob
