Hello Little Sisters and Brothers in Jesus, Good article about Belle and Sebastian in Sweden's "Pop" magazine (thank you lovely lovely Tyskan, I'm still waiting for your first post to the list). They put 'IYFS' at Number 15 in their LPs of the year, (in a wonderfully Radiohead free chart) and said ... "Independent as fuck" är hip hop trion Company Flows slogan men den borde användas av Belle and Sebastian, Glasgows skyggaste sjumannaorkester. De ställer aldrig upp på bild och bannlyser A&R män från sina konserter. "If you're feeling sinister" fylls av blås, stråker, vänliga melodier och underfundiga texter. Ljudet av det Skottland ekar fortfarande. ... which I'm sure you all agree with wholeheatedly. What's all this about the Scatman, then Keith? I heard those songs too many times on holiday. Of course this can be a good thing. "Mr Vain", and that Bailando song that haunted me last year, for example are classics of out time. I managed to embarrass my fellow DJ by playing Bailando at the end of my set, then just walking away so it looked like he had put it on, leaving him to wave his arms and mouth "it wasn't me, honest" at ridiculing punters. But as a result of holiday overexposure, I now despise (with every inch of my being) that bloody Sash and his clown of a mate who hollers 'Ecuador'. As for poor Scatman himself, I'm afraid it's "Oi John - NO! I admire your Stephen Hawking like triumph over your speech impedement, but if you come round here with singing your catchy yet irritating brand of Cleo Laine meets Johnny Dankworth Eurodisco, I shall have to give you a slap". Mind you, I got really into Julio Iglesias (a footballer like Albert Camus) in Romania, they played him in cafes, on the buses (including the evil Vampire Bus of Death with doors that remained open for the entire journey while I hung on to the rail for dear life watching the tarmac speed below me and closed only in an attempt to sever my arm). Riding on these particular city buses for a hobby is fatal. Oh and Northy's so-called friend, I have no wish to see a picture of our dear departed, I would rather savour my own image of him, radiant and gently smiling his all-knowing, all-loving smile, like the angel he undoubtedly is. I guess he just couldn't deal with the loss of Enoch Powell. Love Tag xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
