Dear People, Yes! Home from school again...cough cough.. but I HAVE to get out soon...saturday..yes saturday..there's a Viennese Ball at the Art gallery (of course tickets are like 200 dollars each and they are for the counts and countesses i suppose..) but just imagine all the lovely gowns and stuff..I wonder if they get to wear masques? i have to take nightscapes for my photographie class...maybe the city will be good to me.... I have a book called Zolars which deciphers dreams..but I don't know how true it is...it doesn't really make sense..zolar lie!....speaking of..I had such a good..energetic.. dream last night,now it probably doesn't make sense now...but anyways...I snuck into the boys (!) washroom and on the wall in red pencil I wrote 'jim morrison lives in me' or something then casually walked out...except this real bitchy teacher at my school saw me...saw the message in red..and me holding the red crayon and took after me..so I ran to lose her,DOWN STAIRS..IN stillettos...I could feel the difficulty of it!..anyways..I lost her in the locker bay except suddenly I saw her..she hadn't seen me yet..I was pushing my way to get out but these people wouldn't let me I'm like 'come on,this is serious!' but they did not believe me so the teacher caught me and yelled at me and was so evil..but I had my moment of glory I swore at her while she tried to make me go with her and then she ripped off my jacket..and yet i stil woke up feeling i'd won! poetry n' stuff:I like Thomas...I love W.B Yeats...Shelley... I suppose I should really read more poetry..but this year I've got my futuristic fix... Brave New World and 1984...BNW was allright for me..it didn't really affect me...but once the Thought Police caught winston I couldn't put 1984 down...i mean with Huxley he at least created an island the 'different' people could go to..but Orwell is just more brutal...not even allowed to die hating the party...i feel fustration when i read books like that...you're willing the characters on..but they just keep falling and falling.... Sinister people,tell me some good books I should read!

BUT, I need an answer to something: at one point in the article, ol' Jenny claimed that Monica Queen is actually Isobel singing under an assumed name. But I thought I had read on this list that Monica Queen is an entirely different person from Isobel altogether, and that she's in other bands. So if anyone feels like responding to this oft-asked question, ooh, that'd be appreciated.
EH? I don't know who dreamt this one up, but I've saw Monica and Isobel on stage at the same time, most definitely different people!! Although both are extremely attractive, my heart belongs to Bel.

This message has nothing to do with B&S so I'll just say that they are indeed the finest band on God's green Earth and get on to what I wanted to say.
I am a sad student boy and was last night talking about kid's TV as sad students do. HOWEVER, no-one in my flat remembers 'CAPTAIN ZEP', who was a super space detective, or something who around the galaxy solving mysteries.
Did he actually exist or have I just made him up. I am sorry to say...but he never existed dear...actually,he probably did....seriously..I don't know,but I've never heard of him..my mom tells me she knows Belle and Sebastian (the cartoon).and how him and the big giant dog would go to pyramids or something...maybe I used to watch the show..because I have no idea why when I first heard of B&S I thought it was Christain singing solo boy who had an anonymous friend help him out under
I picture Monica with these go-go boots...mod skirt...eyelined eyes/pale lip thing going on..i don't know what nancy sinatra looks like..but something like that?At first I didn't like Monica's voice...but now..I really do..it doesn't have that softness of isobel,but it's appealing... the disguise of that dog on Dog On Wheels.... Do you remember 'Today's Special'? I liked that!

I'm on the Pulp mailing list, which gets really clogged up with non-Pulp comments, and the way that that is dealt with is by putting NP for a non-Pulp post in the subject heading. Perhaps NBS would be some kind of remedy for the below suggestion, allowing for easy deletion?
I was on that list!and then one day I wasn't..did they kick me off? Too rowdy i suppose....

Sometimes when I see people with personal stereos it doesn't appear like they are actually listening to music they enjoy. I was just walking through college listening to Dog on Wheels and other tunes, and I was kinda walking in time, staring at the sky and generally looking happy. I felt lost in the music, as I do now sitting by the computer. I am just insane or do other people get as much pleasure as I do from music and are not afraid to show it? Yes....I do! It stops me from doing other work...you know how most people say,oh if you put on music you'll get your homework done like that? Well not true! When it's such a good song,you have to jump up and sing into your hairbrush (well I do...I don't have a mic)I even have a tambourine but i save those moments for when i feel like brett anderson!Sometimes I wish people could hear what I'm listening to and singalong...like oh...say..ummm..record store boy? WHy won't he play B&S ! THen I could sing along and show him oh great master,how you taught me! BUT..whenever I'm in there he has this thing with Blur's Great Escape...i know all the words to that album too...but it's just..not...the...same!
poor poor clinton,you know...Jean Chretien never get trouble like that,he won't even give anybody a hug..he tries to choke instead... love no poison, Genevieve :) p.s I know nothing about the Smiths and I got the 1000 dollar question about them on Jeopardy! (well it's not hard...as soon as cutie Alex mentioned morrissey) I'm getting a Smiths album,(cute record boy has them cheap) in trade for IN It For The Money...so should it be Meat Is Murder or The Queen Is Dead... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
