So I guess I´m not that intersted then. Too many "not bad" books in the world. Which jumping from one author to another gives me the chance to recommend my favourite author, Hermann Hesse, to all of you.

Sinister: The B&S T-Shirts.
by Chris Stack 28 Aug '97

28 Aug '97

This is sort of connected with the recurring theme thing. At first I thought the Bus design on the shirt was because so many of Belle and Sebastian's songs feature this mode of transport: StringBean Jean, The state I am in, and countless others, I expect. But then I realised the acronym for the band is bas, which is the cockney pronunciation of bus, this is reinforced by the fact that B&S seem to like playing for the southerners instead of coming up north, but I'm not bitter about it.

The Dog/cat debate wasn't exhausted. I believe we concluded that Elvis was in fact a dog, but could have been a cat also. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE: Sinister: B&S: the Bathers connection

By the way, am I the only person on this list who thinks that there has been rather too many postings of a....mmm......tenuous nature appearing on this list in the past day or so? Wouldn't be anything to do with the tape competition, would it? Might I suggest that any future such competitions should reward QUALITY of posting, rather than quantity? I say give the tape to the duke. Nigel [Keith Watson] Totally agreed - but more generally, it'd be much better if people only posted something to the list if they actually had something to say (from now on obviously!). I'm a bit fed up of messages that say things like.... "I agree" with this posting. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I doubt he had a Catholic upbringing, because he says: "the vicar or whatever", unless he was a rubbish Catholic who didn't know much. The "loneliness of the long distance runner" is a book by Alan Sillitoe. The Back cover says it's a modern classic, but I wouldn't go that far, It's not bad for a short story though. I think it was made into a film, but I've never seen it. Apparently the book's better if you are/were a long-distance runner, which I'm not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I agree about the tenuousness, I've been guilty of it myself, so back *on message* from now on: what about the occasional appearance of men of the cloth in B&S songs? viz. "the vicar or whatever took her to one side..." "go off and see a minister..." "the priest in the booth had a photographic memory..." ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: RE: Sinister: B&S: the Bathers connection Author: Nigel Turner <nigelt(a)uk.uu.net> at ~ITPS-INTERNET Date: 28/08/97 11:14 Charlotte Hall wrote: >A while ago someone asked about The Bathers who played with B&S at Kelvingrove Park. They are worth checking out although they're not really like B&S at all. They've also been around a lot longer. Their best album is called "Sweet Deceit" which is, without hyperbole, a masterpiece. Chris Thomson, the lead singer, started out some time ago in a band called Friends Again who I think were on the renowned Postcard label (circa 1982??). Mmm.....I saw the Bathers at Kelvingrove Park, and thought they were attrocious - very much in that OTHER Scottish tradition of fake white soul - you know the offenders..... Deacon Blue, Wet Wet Wet, etc. I also thought their stage act was not a little pompous and arrogant (just my luck if they're reading this!). I have vague recollections of Friends Again (wasn't "Honey at the Core" one of their singles, or am I confusing them with someone else?), but they definitely weren't on Postcard.
