HEY! Belle and Sebastian is an ASSHOLE for not playing EASTCOAST! etc. If Chip Taylor is Jon Voight's brother, how come he isn't called Chip Voight? I did lunch with DAVID MOORE and his lovely wife MRS PAM. We talked about YOU. It was very pleasant. The Ken P. Chu Appreciation Society might like to know that the book SOUL MOUNTAIN by Gao Xingjian contains the following: "There are still plenty of people who can sing the dirges. In the Jingzhou and Jiangling regions where the Chu people originate, the dirges have been transmitted to the present. They are known also as tub-beating songs and are performed with wine libations by village Daoists... When Zhuangzi was in mourning for his wife he beat on a tub and sang, treating mourning as a joyous event. His singing, I expect, was very loud... There are vestiges of the tiger totem everywhere among the Ba people and in the Chu region." Apart from this the book is BOR-ING. BENICASSIM REPORT I didn't go. But I bet it was good. BASS! It's CLEAR VINYL, not PERSPEX! And you call yourselves musicians... I wonder if the crowd looks a funny shape when Stuart looks through it on stage? Like a massive Monster Munch advert or something.
