hey...
The other day I was listening,with a friend of mine, to a B&S song "the state I am in". Great song. Pure magic.
We were driving round and round a parking garage and listening to "The State I Am In".....and I made it as far as "why don't you", right after the "riding on city busses" and the chord change..or something...just bit me, and I started bawling in a big way....
how coincidental... or maybe not.. maybe this happens to belle&sebastian fans everywhere!.. "the state i am in" has been my theme song for the past few days.. i'm not sure why, but i keep on rewinding it and listening to it over and over again. it's one of those songs that grows on you the more and more you listen to it... sigh.. hehe, for my english class we have to write a play and for my amusement i tried to throw in as many music references as i could without being too obvious.. like, the main character - her name is judy... the characters talk about doing something pretty while they can, and the boy in the play, henry, talks about the state that he is in. oh, and for any erics trip afficianados, judy and henry are going to "our friend peter's house" (from the song stove! it was also covered by canadian rockers sloan.. who were on the enclave with b&s before it went under or whatever) anyway, no one in my class will notice any of the b&s things (a friend of mine rolled her eyes when i said that the main character was judy - "you and your judy blume...i don't know *what* kind of cult you're into now.." - as b&s sing, "make a new cult everyday to suit your affairs", right? heh. anyway, i was thinking more of judy and the dream of horses.. is the horse really hurley? oh dear.. im rambling..) wouldn't it be neat if someone actually stood up and said, "OH MY GOD! You're referring to the song "We Rule the School" by Belle and Sebastian! I own a vinyl copy of Tigermilk! Why don't you come over to my house after school and we can listen to it outside in the backyard while eating strawberries!" ... er, or something similar? well, considering i've gone to school with these poofs for 5+ years, i'm pretty sure nothing of the sort will happen.. i can dream though, can't i? oh.. i hate to bring this up here, and the very last thing i want to do is make it into a bigger deal than it is, and even worse, put myself in the middle of it, cos i am switzerland and will remain totally neutral ( :) - i love everyone, but i don't love anyone) i would like to stand up for my friend mellowtrance (etc..) who has er, created some problems on the irc chat.. i know he was a bit of a potty mouth and clashed with some of you, but he really was *truly* sincere about trying to apologize to you the last time he went on.. he is one of my only friends who likes belle and sebastian, and in real life he's a great, great person... i'm a bit dissapointed by the whole thing because i think that if given the chance, you could have as much fun with him as i do.. but, i'm sorry for any feathers that were ruffled along the way... (hey, why am *i* apologizing? heh, it's some canadian thing probably..eh?.. ack, bad joke :) ) but hmm, i would like to end this on a better note :) oooh, someone mentioned the book weetzie bat by francesca lia block a few days ago and i wholehartedly recommend it as well - it's so wonderfully crazy. by someone's recommendation i'm reading an anais nin book, and hee hee, it makes me giggle like an immature school girl sometimes.. "literary erotica", how euphemistically pretentious.. maybe judy went under the covers with a torch to read her.. i'm sure her parents wouldn't approve! okay, now i'm being silly... sleep well, teri xoxo ==== you're not the boy that you say you are you come from outerspace you drive a rental car --rasputina-- vlass@interlog.com it's still a baby: http://members.tripod.com/~meltingsnow/ ==== ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
