Paul Rudd is a doll and oh so sweet. I've played with him on the
phone. you
probably do know him but don't remember, he was the brother of
cher in
clueless and the gay boy in object of my affection with jennifer
aniston.
He tried to convince me that I should go see every movie with tony
randall ,
erm, I mean tony curtis. - I think. it's really
late.
and to have some belle and seb more content - it's interesting to
see what
people compare other artists to, for instance, on Momus' little red
song
book, there is a little sticker, saying if you like this artist,
try: and
they have belle and sebastian on there, as well, hefner have
been compared
to belle and sebastian mixed with pavement (I decree they're
more like
neutral milk hotel's half-sibling but I digress).
and oh, I
got into a fight on the uk-indie list about belle and sebastian.
ooh, kitty
fell.
ciao!

while i was leaning against the washer, waiting another

honestly, who wants to get their birth control from a machine

like it was put up around the '50s and has survived numerous

only just barely) to the bulletin board, sponsored by
interview

rudd, who i don't
>think i know, but may as he was looking so sexy he
managed to cover his
>face, there was a quote wherein he said something
along the lines of, "you
>can be masculine if you watch john wayne
movies or masculine if you listen
>to belle and sebastian. and i do
both." aside from the lack of proper
>grammar or anything, i
was surprised. i mean, the magazien chose to quote
>this line,
assuming college students would recognize b&s almost as easily
>as
john wayne. then i was in a bookstore today, looking at a copy of
the
>acid house. as i was reading the back, where they had the
credits and
>whatnot, some of the bands from the album were named.
belle and sebastian
>were named fourth, before primal scream. at
first i was glad, but is it
>wrong to feel a little sad? i loved
having something beautiful for myself,
>something that i could share with
a few people and wonder about. the band
>certainly haven't been
corrupted or anything, but there's something
>wonderful about stuart
murdoch coming to mailing list picnics, and having a
>group of people who
know a band and can share it's name amongst themselves
>like a secret
handshake. i don't mean to offend the new people, you all
>are
probably quite easily as lovely as any other listees i've met.
but
>something about the first few is the sort of thing that probably
won't
>happen again. do i make sense? maybe it's all the work
and the grey day,
>i don't know. time for
bed.
