The Divine Comedy are an obvious one in the books/band name thing. Not only is the name borrowed, but large chunks of the lyrics are taken from
literary

i dont think icould bear to listen to one of those "quietly uplifting"
and 'through a long and sleepless night' has a line nicked exactly from the Evelyn Waugh book that neil thingy read from on mark radcliffe a year or two ago ('Vile Bodies'). talk about being *completely* obvious- i think he even read that bit out. ah well. How do i know this? it's not even as if i'm a fan or anything. Message text written by Sarah things. so wat do i mean? do i want to hear a record that means absolutely nothing? thats just THERE? fuck knows.< well obviously you should listen to some lovely manics records to feel a wee bit better hehehe. i always find that 'This is Yesterday' works wonderfully, as does their version of 'Raindrops...' Ahhhh. Also, you should beg, borrow or steal the Bernard Butler album as i've been playing it almost non-stop since the day it was released and it truely is a beautiful thing. Don't listen to records that mean absolutely nothing, they're the worst kind, often. I don't mean they have to be full of 'intense meaningfulness' or anything, just ones that you can relate to or dream to... oh, and Drugstore's 'El Presidente' and 'Solved' by the unbelievable truth are also beautiful songs to sink in to. this probably isn't what you meant, but never mind... i'll get me big coat, love, Debbie xxx. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
