"It seems to me in England, rock or guitar music is mainstream, it's kind of goody-goody. Very square. And electronic music is for rebels: sort of creative, taking risks, where rock music is playing it safe. Well, I like Bjork but that really is bullwarks of the nobelist order. I dont know, maybe it's because she knows all the cutting edge dj peeps and only sees all the high-charting noelrock pish. I doubt she's heard B&S. I like 'dance music' in theory but if you listen to the radio programmes on saturdays, well, it's 95% regurgitated disco sludge and deserves to be forgotten as fast as it will be. I thought I would tell all you non-digest listees about an interesting
Hello sinistereens or listies or whatever the current term is. I havent written for a while due to (a) not having anything interesting to say, not that that stopped me before (b) Going out and neglecting my e-mail and mainly (c) There suddenly being an overwhelming amount of Content. Well, I can go some way to redressing (c) - Here's my non-Content all time top ten herbal teas: 1. Peppermint 2. Blueberry 3. Mandarin 4. Rosehip 5. Strawberry, Blackberry & Something 6. Cinnamon, Vanilla & Honey (Although everyone else hates the smell) 7. Fennel 8. Lemon 9. Lemon & Ginger 10. Erm... Definitely not 'Blackcurrant Bracer'! Eeeuugh! Pour it away! Hmmn, maybe I'm getting a little too twisted, being at home on my own all day. Since all my friends seem to be dissapearing to Uni I'm stuck here lying in bed, listening to everything B&S have done, eating marshmallows and reading 'Second from last in the sack race.' Simply hell, darlings ;-) Well, where was I? Oh yes. Bjork said: phenomenon I've witnessed. Rod Begbie puts out messages with "Please ignore the piece-of-crap advertisment that follows" at the bottom - undoubtedly because his service provider puts on some line at the end. However, little does he know that Honey's new filter cuts it out anyway, and it looks like Rod is telling us to ignore the 'piece-of-crap' next message. Tee Hee. Has anyone come up with an amusing anagram of 'The Boy With The Arab Strap' yet? No? Me neither. A lot of mishearings talk too. While I had the radcliffe session but not IYFS for a few months I thought the fist line of 'Stars of Track & Field' was 'Make a new coat everyday to suit your affairs' Well I thought it was funny.

PS: things currently being worked on - a rock family tree for the band
Yes! I have to see this! What will you call it? Belle and Sebastian and the Scotpop explosion of the late nineties? Belle & Sebastian & Friends? Belle, Sebastian and other scottish musicians of 1995 onwards? Will it include the legendary band that had Stuart and whoever-that-bloke-on-mark-radcliffe-was in it? genevieve said:
are there any Fun Facts on Belle and Sebastian like they do with the boy bands? Like 'Stuart's favourite colour is blue and he loves his mam's homemade haggis (or whatever,that's the only scottish food i know) and in his spare time he crochets,cleans up oil spills and rescues pets from the humane society'
Stuart works collecting blood at the abbatoir and selling it to small middle-class kiddies in his spare time. His honorary post is as 'King Pimp' but HoneyPaul does the day-to-day operations. His favorite food is grilled overripe aubergine with a bean & tatty pie and his favorite colour is vomit red. Isobel lives by night as a vampire, feasting on the blood of obese american tourists. To earn extra pocket money she sells Skag cut with Persil to Tory MPs. She is powered by her magic pedal-pushers. Her favorite food is Haggis made with the stomach lining of Jerry Garcia and the leftover meat from Jerry Springer, and her favorite colour is rupture mauve. Chris has a secret double life as a spy for Sony. His task is to infiltrate Jeepster records and help their evil takeover bid, for which he is paid chocolate- coated peanuts. His favorite food is Findus Crispy Pancakes (While frozen) and his favorite colour is intestinal grey. Sarah is only a hologram. The real Sarah lives in Basingstoke and works by day cleaning the socks of rich old men with her special formula. At night she sends out her holograms to conquer the world. Her favorite food is deep fried mars bars (she eats nothing else) and her favorite colour is omlette opaque. I could go on.... I wont. libellously yours, WeeJay "Who cares where national borders lie?
