Hello everybody, I thought some of you might be interested to hear what our favourite fat boy Steven Wells has to say about the Jonathan David single. Don't read it if you're a proper twee person, you might cry. 'So you're walking through the woods minding your own business when suddenly you stumble across a teddy bear's picnic. Aww! So cute and furry and cuddly! But then one of the bears spots you and points a blunt paw and soon all the bears stare in your direction with their horribly emotionless glass eyes. And you s**t yourself. And that's Belle and Sebastian and their sick posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans in a freaky nutshell. Anyway, what about the music? If this gaggle of spectacularly inoffensive semi-songs were 10 per cent more tuneful, they'd be the sort of dross that Neil Finn (formerly of Crowded House) casually sticks in the bin on his occasional bad days. And if they were 10 per cent crapper then the sad probability is that B&S would probably have been accidentally rounded up and shot in the f**king head by MAFF slaughtermen ages ago under the erroneous impression that they were sick sheep. An easy mistake to make.' I haven't heard it yet but I'm almost certain it can't be that bad ;-) Eeek, two days till Glasgow. Please keep writing gig reviews, because they've been so enthusiastic it's making me even more excited about going to see them. Honey and Linda have been singing the praises of Belfast Bob and his lovely face-at first I thought he was a girl in the pictures, whoops. Sometimes I suprise myself with my silliness. I'm sure he's very handsome in the flesh though, I trust the list mummies. I hope this e-mail has the required number of *s to make it through, I've been in trouble once already today for trying to send an e-mail with rude words in, tsk, tsk. See some of you in the park on Saturday for the teddy bears picnic, or will there just be super cool knitted dollies there? I hope so.
