i haven't read it personally, but a friend phoned me up today and told me that in the new issue of entertainment weekly, belle and sebastian are in the top 100 of the most creative people of the decade. anyone else read this? i ran into my old french teacher today, and she said "well, hello sebastian" (that was my given french name in high school) and i said "well hello". she's a french lady. she talks kind of like what i imagine genevieve to sound like. and she said "i got a bone to pick with you, sebastian" and i said "lay it on me, bitch"...no really, i said "what" with a look of genuine surprise because i haven't seen her in 8 years. and she said a couple years back she found a french textbook where every drawing of every man woman child dog and cat and anything else that lives, had a huge dick drawn on them. and then i remembered. i erased the crotch of every drawing in that book one year and gave them a well endowed member. and i said "whoops" and she said "no i thought it was funny, but this poor little innocent christian girl was assigned that book and three days after the year started she came up to my desk and showed me" then we had a laugh together and i scrammed. i would like to hear belle and sebastian cover that guns n' roses song where he goes "turn around bitch i got a use for you, besides, you ain't got nothing better to do, and i'm bored". i think that's the funniest line in a song ever. well, except for that one stone roses song on the "second crap" album where he croons "hell hath no fury like a woman scorn" i cringe when i hear that song. what a putz. i've moved on from the "pet sounds" infatuation. now i'm listening to the simon and garfunkel box set. some of their songs are just absolute crap. not a lot of them, but enough of them. it's like he sat down and said, "yeah this lyric will make me sound real artsy". belle and sebastian should cover "hazy shade of winter"...but it'd be hard to beat the bangles' version. they could stop halfway through the song and stuart david could solemnly recite the above lyric from the guns n' roses song, that it'd be good. that'd make that suzanne girl from the bangles go, "why didn't i think of that? where's my hairspray?" the end of something, brad but seriously, the ending of "rocket queen" on appetite for destruction is one of the best things ever commited to tape. i ain't ashamed to admit it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
