Katrina is still winning the B&S quiz with one correct entry
out of eight (Mick).
Alright then, i'm trying again!
> 1: Halal chicken, unpeeld potatoes and broccolli. Fish on
> Fridays
Stuart Murdoch
> 2: Alphabetti Spaghetti
Isobel (even though in real life Richard only eats pasta and chicken
soup, so his MUST be wrong!)
> 3: Magic mushrooms and powdered rhino horn
And that just leaves Sarah
> 4: Spangles, Jaffa Cakes and Monster Munch
(Sarah wears Star Wars t-shirts ... but I got this one wrong last time,
so...) Stevie???
> 5: Exotic fruit and rice pudding
Chris (this is silly!)
> 6: A cup o' tea and a slice o' cake
Richard (this is WRONG!)
> 7: Anything advertised by Bernard Cribbins
Stuart David
> 8: Trumpet-shaped turnips.
Mick Cooke
I did it as in real-life food stuff, not some weird hidden thing that's
too deep for me in the morning when i've got flu :(
Please let me win?
Katrina.

Yes, Scott Oakes used to play for the 'Scum' (I'm a Watford fan!) -
he now plays for Sheffield Wednesday.

Katrina is still winning the B&S quiz with one correct entry
out of eight (Mick). Here are some clues:
People who wear Star Wars t-shirts invariably eat Monster
Munch.
[Keith Watson] Ha harr - Chris Geddes! Wears that bloody T-Shirt all the time. So I've got a point. Do I get another for saying that Mick had the trumpet shaped things too. Do I get extra for saying that the chances are more like that Mick would have a turnip shaped just like a thingy should he be able to help it (in the order of the rudest first...)
[sorry if that made no sense... I'm still pissed]

This was the week before the big free B&S gig in Kelvingrove park which
was moved to the QM (hip kids union at Glasgow Uni) because it was very
rainy indeed. Were the Bathers the band on immediately before B&S? No
hold on that was the Pastels. Were the Bathers the band on immediately
before the Pastels? If it was I remember a lady drummer. I'm probably
thinking of the wrong band. They were very polished and reminded me of
the Incredible String Band (joking).
[Keith Watson]
What I really want to know here is... (David/Katrina anyone who knows) Did I go through to Glasgow on the SUNDAY after the Kelvingrove park longest day of my life concert in vain... Mick had told us that they were playing in Ashton lane on Sunday as part of the yearly street festival thingy, Hardbody were supposed to be playing but I didn't even see them, only saw the bathers, went home miserable and with only Dexy's "Dont't stand me down" in consolation (it's a great consolation, but I could have got it in Edinburgh). So does anyone know... did they actually play or not?
Cheers,
Keith.

That was a great story, cool... I've just made it into work and I can hardly type because I'm still pissed! This'll make a great ink polaroid - virtually everything's still blurred! Stumbled my way up Morningside road in Edinburgh and finally made it to work at 10 to 10 with a massive 5 o'clock shadow and my head still spiinning!
Sorry about the irrelevance of this message chaps - just thought i'd let you share in my rather comical situation this morning. Incidentally Paul - I'm surprised people are leaving, it seems like we're all becoming pals now which is cool...
Hik bleurgghgh your all me fekkin best mates!
Cheers,
Keith.
ps: haven't attracted any strange aliens yet

Klas asked for a review of the new EP, so here's a fully
clickable one. I don't know if anyone will find it useful or
not. It was meant to be even more fully clickable but I got
fed up with the damn computer getting disconnected or
whatever it is that happens every five minutes or so on the
information superhighway.
A Century of Fakers:
Elegy in a vintage keyboard shop. Tales of impossible love
and falling off one's bike on the way to see one's bird.
Quite sad, quite pretty. Vaguely reminiscent of O Caroline
by Robert Wyatt or Soft Machine or Matching Mole, not sure
which.
http://www.furious.com/perfect/wyatt.html
is a nice interview with the aforementioned hairy old hippy.
Nothing to do with B&S, at least not directly. A good read,
nevertheless.
Le Pastie de la Bourgoisie
Up tempo number. Mentions Judy Blume. Who?
http://www.judyblume.com/home.html
Contains some good advice for writers. There are a lot of
them on this list, whether they know it or not, judging by
the compo entries. And I mean that most shincerely, folks...
Beautiful
Starts off quiet. Later on all the instruments come in. It's
very effective. The lyrics intersect the universal. Some
striking images of suffering and solidarity. Am I getting
carried away? Probably, but I think this is one of B&S's
best songs. Shows great restraint and control. A bit like
Wonderful by the Beach Boys. But not much.
Put the Book Back on the Shelf
The return of Sebastian. Wrote a book about himself, but
everyone left it on the shelf. Should take it to the library
in Richard Brautigan's book The Abortion, which is quite a
nice book, although not as good as So The Wind Won't Blow It
All Away, which is about a boy who buys bullets instead of a
hamburger. The song mentions comic genius Sid James, and
seems to give him supernatural powers. Not as strange as it
may sound. He breathed life into characters such as Henry
VIII and the Rumpo Kid. Here is a nice tribute to the great
man, well worth reading in my opinion.
http://www.adavids.demon.co.uk/carry/sidtribute.html
This one will probably have lots of books on shelves:
http://www.bne.es/
It's the Spanish National Library, whatever that is.
Songs for Children (?)
"Hidden" bonus track, quite an effective ending to the EP.
Sounds distant and lost.
There, I didn't use the word "fantastic" once. Isn't it a
boring Sunday? I almost wish I could watch Songs of Praise
and Antiques Roadshow. Instead I'm listening to that Mick
Harvey album of Gainsbourg songs, waiting impatiently for
the next one.
A question: Is "Popcorn" by Hot Butter the music that they
used to use for trampolining programmes on the telly? I
trust that one of our older viewers will know what the
bloody hell I'm on about.
No answer to that Paris question yet? I'm seriously
considering slinging a string of onions around my neck and
pedalling up to gay Paree for that one.
Those new t-shirt designs are really nice. Who did the
picture?
It's the World Cycling Championships this week. I'm hoping
to infiltrate the pits area and sellotape a few lolly sticks
to the competitors' spokes, so that they sound like
motorbikes. Look out for me on the telly. I'm going to wear
my lunatic playgroup leader B&S t-shirt.

How'd I do?
Katrina - bored at work :)
[Keith Watson]
Join the club! It's looking to quite a few people that the B+S mailing list is a "bored at work" club... It certainly brightens up my day - replaces Steve Wright in the Afternoon as a source of entertainment, so a big shout to anyone out there who's BORED AT WORK!
Cheers,
Keith.

Her books were amongst the first I read. I remember tales of a 4th grade nothing (about a boy whose younger brother is driving him crazy and eats his pet turtle), Then again Maybe I won't (about a 7th or 8th grader who is beginning to have wet dreams), and Blubber (about a girl everyone at school makes fun of). The books were poignantly well written, and reflected preteen life very well. In some ways, I think she might be described as a preteen Vonnegut (especially in then again where she uses that "then again maybe I won't" device over and over.
And So it Goes,
Matt

So seeing as I am currently searching for every - any - reason not to
attend to the downright offensive pile of work before me, I'll tell you
about my latest trip on public transport under the influence of Belle
and Sebastian.
After being mollycoddled on the coach by the tea lady last time I
travelled to Glasgow, I reckoned the train would be a safer bet this
time, and armed myself with a legion of cola bottles to distract myself
from the music if things got a little, er, emotional again.
It was an early train, though, and I soon fell into an apparently deep
sleep to the heavenly strains of B&S. And it was then I started
dreaming.
Thinking I was still wide awake, I was surprised to experience
'Expectations' being interrupted by a somewhat ominous voice with a
warning. It did not, I hasten to add, occur to me that I was dreaming,
so I subsequently took what this mysterious voice was telling me very
seriously.
I was warned in rather urgent tones that *they* (whoever they may be),
had discovered that I had a rogue bone in my ankle which was attracting
ships from the equator carrying aliens, and that if the train travelled
too close to the coast on the way up to Scotland they would most
probably detect me. Horror.
Was awakened by a now frantic old lady next to me, who could take my
writhing and babbling no longer. Had excrutiating cramp in my leg. Was
disorientated to the point of believing that I was indeed in grave
danger. Had thrown my cola bottles all over the floor in blind panic.
I cannot, even in sleep, listen to B&S and remain unmoved.
No sign of the aliens so far, though...
