dear listerines, (oh no, that's not quite right is it) i have been having an epiphanic (real word?) couple of days. my head is feeling kind of weird now. last night i was listening to the student radio network chart and got really quite depressed after 3 songs in a row with identical messy guitars and plodding drums. so of course i put on TARTYBOYS for consolation. later on though my faith in radio returned listening to simon mccabe's show on university radio york (which none of you will be able to hear unless you're in york). he played some really rather lovely stuff including miles davis and billie holiday, and i was just wondering whether to phone up and say 'you have a sexy accent and bloody great musical taste, can you please play chickfactor' when, literally seconds later, he said: 'and here is belle and sebastian with chickfactor'. how wonderful is that? i nearly cried. the night before was also funny. some friends and i were drinking copious amounts of wine when suddenly a darling boy named al produced a guitar and we all rocked into a spontaneous version of 'get me away...' of course it was rather drunken and poor, and not really good enough for a tribute tape, but in its own little way it felt like the greatest tribute to b&S there could be. 6 friends full of love and happiness singing their hearts out in a small, messy living room somewhere in york. sorry, just had to share that. Archel xxxx ps. Adrian - i sent you a really witty, great message but the server returned it. honest.
