Hello this is my first post and I am still in awe and shock that there are so many American, if not Californian, fans! I am still squeeling from the purchase of my tickets to the Belle and Sebastian show in Septmeber. How wonderful to see so many positive posts and all around niceness associated with Belle and Sebastian fans. Hope to meet some cool people at the concert. Maybe it will even top my all time favorite concert, Morrissey doing The Smiths tunes on his 1999 tour at Maritime Hall in SF. A Belle and Sebastian picnic would be so great! This is really the best thing I have ever discovered on the net!

hello the sinistericals! How are you all petals? I hope all good and dandy! the Reason I'm wRitting is because, first, you lot flooded my pooR yahoo account, second the "oh!the joy of twee!" sign off in a post made me even more nauteous that the heat's already made me and you know keeping things bottling inside is no good foR you! no siR! I've said it before and i'll say it again... if those twee gits lived in the 60s they'd be bloody hippies... and like the Mighty Pistols said "never trust a hippy" and before you say anything... the belles covered "pretty vacant", so ner! and the Primals said it even better "kill all hippies"... so I'm completely covered here... not that I'd need any cover really... isn't that youR idea of demo(n)cracy? and third (and very impoRtant) I want to say that I completely second Paul ARathoon in what he said... way to go Paul!! I know I owe you a mix-tape ages now... sorry... if you still want it lemme know... well, things aRe simple... the belles are not so keen in playing in the states... that's all... but because they'Re a PoP band they have to... to be honest, if i was in a band, i wouldn't like to play in the states either... and i wouldn't like my aRtwoRk to be exhibited in the states eitheR... for reasons that have to do with social consience... that doesn't mean i hate americans, no... there are certain exceptions that alas, they justify the rule... but there are... but i won't fag you with all that now... and the Belles are a social conscious band... they're also a pop band... so they have to play in the americas... it's the way things work... When they announced their tour dates in europe, how do you think I - and many others - felt? they've never been here... and i mean ever... and they do sell a good lot of records here, mind... so, i saved money and went to the UK... and saw them three times... and yes, i know that's not possible for everyone... i guess it's a matter of priorities... and mood... I don't think Neil's post was offensive, not in the slightest... if it was then when they announced the UK and Spain gigs, the rest of europe should have felt really insulted... we didn't... ok, we might have sulked a bit, but hey! we enjoy sulking... and if you have noticed, the UK tour didn't include loads of big cities in England, like Manchester for example and many others which i cannot remember on the top of my head now... it's their bloody right to play wherever they want... and if they don't want to give another gig ever, again is their right... as it's our right to buy their records or spit on them... it's a package really... either you take it or leave it... Oh and I forgot... they never played in Russia... they never mentioned Russia in their future tour plans!! fucking hell!! now what the russian people should say? I guess they wouldn't afford the tickets to the gig anyway... shall we blame globalisation for that? mmmm i wonder... KenKenny, I loved the footy explanation... it all makes sense now, indeedy my little braties... it all makes sense... and with that ladies and gentlemen you may take your leave... (as Kevin R. would say...) hugs + full moons + lovers on the roof Vel xxx "WaR is the last possible cReative act..." IF ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
