BELLE & SEBASTIAN's set at the Bowlie Festival last month will be broadcast on Radio 1 on July 5 on the Steve Lamaq show. Insiders say as much as 45 minutes could be broadcast.
and us sceptics say that they'll do what they did to the Black Sessions and play roughly a third of it... pah. they played for over 75 minutes at the actual show. i just hope it's the second half they broadcast. a friend of mine knows steve lamacq and says nothing but good things about him. bit i think he's the devil. that said, the same person talked all the way through The Pine's set at the recent church hall gig thing so what does he know? pah! andy (off topic stuff follows) getting rid of ants without killing them? it was easy in the end, i just stopped leaving half empty glasses of weak lemon drink around the place and they went looking elsewhere for their sugar rush. (i also had to wipe down all the surfaces where the weak lemon drink had been standing cos that seemed to be enough to attract them). i see the odd one or two now but i can live with that. and remember: don't step on an ant, they've done nothing to you... i'm off to los angeles tomorrow for two weeks. just thought i'd give everyone else in LA a chance to move to new york rather than have to endure eating indian food with me... pah! (oh john m: i'll take your tapes with me and post them when i get there. dave m: thanks for that. nick d: md is in the post.) the computer thing in pretty in pink: it was a film, it wasn't real. keanu stops bullets in mid air in the matrix. that wasn't real either. (whoops, given away the ending, sort of. still, go and see it, it was good in a cyberpunk / hong kong film industry acrobatics and shooting kind of way) oh, and didn't roger hargreaves die? isn't that why the books now say copyright mrs roger hargreaves, cos the rights are in her name now? just a thought. i've read 'imaginary girlfriend' if it's the john irving book you were talking about (arantxa? was that you asking this?). i liked it but it's a departure from his usual stuff in that it's strictly autobiographical, it's stories of his past and mainly about wrestling (greco-roman rather than the hulk hogan type)(actually, having just flicked through it again it's ALL about wrestling although there are plenty of asides). never did get more than halfway through 'son of the circus' though. one of these days... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
