Geri Halliwell was on This Morning today relating her horrible experience when someone broke into her home and spurted Ribena all over it. Really, whoever it was, this Ribena obsession has gone beyond a joke, give yourself up now. The poor girl's looking terribly thin. Rumour has it, her new song "It's raining men" is a hasty rewrite of a song written shortly after the incident called "It's the Ribena men". The rewrite was necessary as the original was deemed "corrupting" and police were worried it might provoke copycat incidents. Unfortunately this means the song now sounds like a bag of tired old shite. And later on, Jeepster said this... "Record News Belle & Sebastian return with the first of two new EPs, entitled 'Jonathan David', on June 18th 2001. It includes three previously unreleased tracks, 'Jonathan David', 'Take Your Carriage Clock an Shove It' and live favourite 'The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner'. The single will be available on CD (JPRCDS022), 12" (JPR12022) and 7" (JPR7022) formats, the asterix (*) denotes the tracks that appear on the 7", all other formats feature all of the tracks. The artwork for the record features Mick Cooke of Belle & Sebastian. 1.Jonathan David* 2.Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It 3.The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner* 'Jonathan David' is the first new material to be released by Belle & Sebastian since last year's Top 10 single 'Legal Man' and the critically acclaimed album 'Fold your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant' which followed. Vocal duties on the lead track fall to Stevie Jackson and it is hoped that this release will command the same radio and press support as 'Legal Man' which achieved daytime as well as specialist play and a 'C' list placing at Radio 1 and an 'B' list at Xfm. The band are already confirmed to record a live session for John Peel on May 11th, broadcast details are not yet known." Hooray!
