hello dears!! ive been trying to spare you guys from my boring posts, but... im kinda bored right now.. and i have had this one in my "filing cabinet" for quite some time now.. so i thought i would paste it in and send it... its kinda old tho.. sorry.. honey kinda exclaimed "Gaaaa what! Why do I keep hearing rumours that people get banned from the list! In all it's time, I've only had to ban two people, and I don't think anyone would have disagreed in those instances! Anyway please don't go and please have NICE dreams about me, I'm nice really :)" never said you werent nice.. but.. i do. i have actual nite mares where i wake up in the middle of the night tossing and turning about you asking me (very politely, but asking just the same) for me to leave the list. so.. there. :) the darling Steve C. mentioned that the beginning of expectations sounds like if your feeling sinister, and i totally agree.. just thought i would mention that. Kah questioned "1. what is "Le Pastie" of "Le Pastie de la Bourgoisie" ??? i asked some of my french friends, and they don't have the slightest clue." back in the school year.. i asked my teacher and she said that it is a drink for the upper class of france yesterday i was going thru boxes of papers.. and i found a piece i had torn out of the rolling stone from the 1998 top something or another (50?) most influential essential bands or something like that.. and.. on this page was the number 31 band.. which just happens to be B&S. and.. i find this strange because i wasnt into them when this took place, and there isnt anyone else on the page that i ever liked.. but there is a cute picture of dear Mr. Murdoch.... and the following passage.. which i bet y'all have already seen, and im pretty sure you know all the information but i feel like contributing... so, im gonna type it.. and then you can bask in the memories if you want, or just scroll over it.. if you havent already gone onto the next post... "Belle and Sebastian are indie rock's most notorious shrinking violets. They refuse to be photographed, shun performers and rarely perform in public. Even becoming a band was somewhat of an accident for the Scottish collective. Each year, Alan Rankine, a one time member of the '80s popsters the Associates, shows his music business class at Glasgow's Stowe College how to produce and market a record. In 1996, the class picked a demo tape by shy singer/guitarist Stuart Murdoch, impressed both by his meticulously arranged, slyly funny pop tunes, and his ethereal, Nick Drake-like voice. "The strength of his songs just pissed on everything from such a great height!" raves Rankine. A surprised Murdoch cobbled some musician friends together and recorded the acclaimed Tigermilk EP. "We thought it was ok" says drummer Richard Colburn. "Then record companies and fans started calling and we thought, My God, what have we done?" They signed with the Enclave label, which folded soon after the release of the excellent If Your Feeling Sinister. A new record will be released by Matador this summer, but the band is still devising ways to confound the public. "I'm going to suggest something daft like touring the world's Holiday Inns," says Rainkine, still a band confidant "that ought to keep them occupied" okees.. i'll leave you alone now xoxoxoxox Jes (who... is about an hour north of Princeton, but her dad wont let her out of the house) _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
