The first few listens of "Belle and Sebastian," I thought he was singing:
"Belle was ok, but oh Sebastian
Went too far again
Christ is calling your name" (rather than "Crashed his car in the rain.")
I liked this lyric quite a bit, and thought it went well with the
tongue-in-cheek religion of "The State I Am In" and "If Your Feeling
Sinister," and added a different twist to "Poor Sebastian is heading for a
fall."
Funny how it never sounds like you originally thought once you know.
oh well
michael

Yes.
There was a great piece on Nick Drake in Mojo in the February issue (or it may
have been March issue - I remember reading it on the aeroplane to the West
Indies, where we were studying the evolution of tree lizards whilst on a field trip -
interesting eh!!)
I agree that Nick Drake is more mournful (than bleak!!).
The comparison I would make is that both have delightful tunes, interesting lyrics -
which connect with the listener - and make you wish to have heard them on the
beach at Guirdil bothy on the deserted Isle of Rum!!
Sorry I cannot make it sound more poetic, but I am an ecologist!!

Sorry to be off topic, but is anyone here aware of a Red House Painters
mailing list? There used to be an excellent official site online with
updates, etc, but it's been sadly offline for quit a while now. I want to
know what's going on! :)
Thanks,
Dave

another single, another single of the week in melody maker -
"A musical box left playing in a long-abandoned nursery" etc
it\'s getting almost tedious
and a question to all of you who have real copies of tigermilk: is your copy
very sibilant at the start? (do the high bits hiss? \'i wassss sssurprisssssed\').
mine does even when played on brand-spanking-new arm-and-a-leg turntable*
(an early birthday present to myself). is it the master tapes d\'you think
or a limitation of the vinyl (ie if they ever get around to doing cds will
they be as bad or will they be better? or is it just my turntable (i hope not))
andy
(still in london)
oh, stephen, oon and mike, your tapes went off yesterday. i guess this was
one of the bits that mr. murdoch wasn\'t too keen about.

Yes mine does too - what's worse however is "Electronic Renaissance" there's a lot of hiss on that

Helloo,
On the official B&S web page there is a mention of 3 gigs in Manchester
in December this year. Does anyone know where-abouts they will be
playing, and possible dates?
I would love to know when and where they are next playing!
Paul

Iain.
