It seems all you regular guys are complaining about the lack of everybody else posting. There are many possible reasons for this including 1) They have such busy and fun packed lives that they just do not have the time to post 2) We haven't got anything interesting to say and 3) They can't be arsed. Guess what category I fall into (it's handily signposted with an inclusive pronoun) (I don't do english so I don't know what we is called in the jargon). Anyway, on to writing something not so interesting. I have a theory that Belle and Sebastian, for that is the subject of the list, have only a few different tunes and the last 3 albums and 4 ep's/singles have used up all the tunes. This theory is strengtheded by the fact that A Century Of Fakers and A Century Of Elvis have exactly the sametune, not to mention disturbingly similar titles (what are they trying to say? Elvis was a fake?). This is why it has takn so long to record the 4th album (I'm conveniently forgetting the fact that most of the members have been in their own bands) because the tunes have to be dressed up fancily. Also, I can't recall any song being about the first person - for example SHE's losing it, The State I Am In about a book someone wrote. So I hereby classify this genre Repetitive Tune Observational Folk Rigged Steps Beating Music. Has a certain ring to it don't you think. Although I prefer to call it RTOFRSBM. I suppose I'm going to have to contribute to a thread already, as if anybody cares and as if anybody is reading this. I am not a woman and hence I am proud to talk sniggeringly and euphamistically about giving the snake a good seeing to, or bashing the bishop, or....... but can you ever imaginge guys talking frankly about something like this? and sharing advice on how best to do it? The only way we can cope with talking about masturbation is to dress it up in code and laugh about it, in case what you're talking about is different and perverted and all your friends begin to hate you.
