I was eating my breakfast yesterday when, on Melody Radio (my parents choice NOT mine!) a song came on by a group called Loving Spoonfull. Now, the song was pretty insipid cack (it was on Melody, after all) but the singer's voice was very, very similar to Stuart Murdoch's. Anyone else heard of this group/singer? Just an observation... A (very) little ink photograph to finish: This one's of me. It was the moment when I read on the Sinister posting that I'd be missing the B&S chats. You can just see the blood emerging from my head after I'd smashed into the monitor in despair. Speaking of Ink Photographs, has anyone here who writes fiction incorporated it into anything they've written? I used the idea on a story I wrote and it "came out" really well. Was Stuart David actually the originator or has a similar sort of idea been used before? All the best and if I don't post again before I go back to Dundee, take care and have fun, Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

The Loving Spoonful were a band in the late sixties. Amazingly enough, the singer's name was John Sebastian. Some good pop tunes..."Summer in the City" blah blah --Damon ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Yes, as my father is an international lounge singer, and I had to grow up unconciously learning words to songs by Billy Joel, Frank Sinatra, the Righteous Brothers, and so so so so so so so so so many more. Sometimes I sing along in elevators or bookstores without realizing it. When somebody sings the first line of a song and laughs, saying they don't know the rest of the words, i can always finish it. I think that's why I turned to (what was then called) "alternative" music as a pre-teen: in hopes of finding songs that I didn't already know the words to and that dad would never attempt to play on the piano. With my luck, he'll discover B&S too. Ever-exagerrating, Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

sorry about this in advance, but i'm feeling a bit uptight today. today? ha ha! Look; if you don't realise the genius and importance of The Lovin' Spoonful then you are... lost. I mean, Pop. Aw fuck i give up. Listen to Summer In The City, or even better NAshville Cats and best of all Do You Believe in Magic. Read that again: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC? Do you? I don't see how you can say you love Belle & Sebastian and then say that a Lovin' Spoonful song sounds like 'cack'.. I just don't get it: they're the same sensibility, they're about the magic of Pop and life and aw, if you don't get it then i don't care anymore. You can just be ignorant for all i care. Everett True said how he still cares about the whole deal of music and experience and the magic of rock'n'roll but that most of the time it hurts too much to care. i know what he means but i think that the pain of caring is easier to deal with than the pain of not caring... But that said, i think it's hurting me too much right now. Consumption has made me sick. ignorance has made me sick. so long and don't look back... keeping his faith tucked neatly in his pocket, the one next to his heart. the duke -- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

fair enough, but are we really reduced to quoting the godawful everett true now? he's no better than swells, surely? now what we really want is some vintage chris roberts... ciao, espadrille> >
