Its good to talk? ----------------- It seems a lot of what i read on the list is of total uninterest, with many personalised and 'informal' groups talking between themselves.
I don't write much to the list because often you get what you want to here from a select few, even though you find yourself reading through pages of rubbish just for maybe a few sentences of sense.
Remember this list is about BELLE + SEBASTIAN!!!!
OK I'm maybe being a little bit harsh but quality before quantity surely.
Things i've observed............
Lots of people use the list to relieve boredom, or whatever. I enjoy the off-topic stuff, it gives me a laugh most of the time. I've found lots of things on the list very useful, one way or another. I think it's a good thing that people don't mind a bit of rambling. Everyone knows where to draw the line, as far as I can see. The list is not just about Belle and Sebastian, it is also, by accident or design, about Belle and Sebastian fans (with computers) who I personally think are just as important as the band themselves. Sideline threads such as lemurs, stylophones, Arab Strap, etc., usually only last for a day or two before dying a natural and painless death. And as someone recently pointed out, Belle and Sebastian aren't exactly over-active at the moment. That's my opinion. I can see that some people might want the list to be purely B&S, but I don't think that's really possible. There just isn't enough to talk about, but I'll have a go: Bootlegs - a couple of months ago we were informed that Jeepster's crack team of lawyers are on the trail of some Italians for that very crime. Did anything come of it? 2 concerts - I think one or two of them have to get back to their studies at around about the same time as everyone else, so a three month tour is out of the question. This is pure speculation. It's good to have qualifications to fall back on, you ask your dad. Just out of curiosity - people at work: have you got permission to do this or are you being naughty? Back to work - churning out pages and pages of rubbish as it happens, Respectfully yours, Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
