Sorry for being a miserable young trout but I don't get Harry Hill at all. Appologies if I've offended anyone. Anyway, I'll keep this short as I've got the flu and I want to go home and lie down and sniff forlornly. Reid beat me too it by exclaiming:
Slow Graffiti is still one of my all-time favorites. The horns sound fantastic, and I love the way Stuart tweaked the vocal melody. One thing I'd like to point out to see if anyone's noticed is that just after the line "take whatever's coming to you, boy", it sounds like Stevie lets out these two extra "boy"'s. Someone tell me I'm not crazy, please.
Yes, I'm backing you up on this one, except I don't think it's two extra 'boy's but instead a strange, admittedly vocal, noise. I heard it on my Beat Patrol tape but I assumed it was (a) a fault in the tape or more likely (b) a problem in the mix that would be sorted out when it was released. Seems it's just another weird quirk though. I'll ask Struan next time I bump into him. Or maybe not. Oh, and I mailed the 120 mins thing (despite being in the Uk and not even having a proper TV) and today I got this back: From: MINUTES120@aol.com Date sent: Tue, 8 Dec 1998 11:32:43 EST To: V0168JE2@solent.ac.uk Subject: Re: Play Belle and Sebastian
how many times are you going to send the same e-mail? We did play it.
I think we may have rubbed them up the wrong way... One more notch on the, um, thing with notches in then. Oooh, something just arrived. I wonder what it is?
I've just joined a new band, unfortunately the singer thinks he's Jarvis Cocker, and he wants me to play like Jonny Marr, i only do Joe Santiago i told him. It's only a matter of time before i'm out on my ear again.
Humph, humph and humph again! There is nothing wrong with thinking you're Jarvis youngsonnyjim. I've made a career of it these past few years. Speaking of which , I'm trying to get a band together sort of. There's me and a couple of people who could be / are in it though they don't know that yet. We're going to be called 'Zazie dans le metro'. If you've recognised the reference, well done, have a pepperidge farms Chessmen cookie, whatever that is. <paranoia> And speaking of gestalt - believe me, it was mentioned briefly a while back - has anyone noticed that Tag and Keith always have the same views? Has anyone seen them in the same place? I smell a conspiracy <paranoia> *scared* WeeJay xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx James@twopounds.u-net.com Go on, what are you frightened of?
