Hey kids Oooh, it's cold today isn't it? Luckily I've been saving on my central heating bills because I've been *dancing* to I'm Waking Up To Us. I think it's ace! I'm really starting to like the way Belle and Sebastian have gone slightly bonkers recently. "Miller" said

What do we think of the NEW RECORD? I'm a bit disappointed, but I don't know why. I think it's GRATE, but as CHRISSIE HYNDE would say, "something is gained, something is lost".

Then he said something filthy. I think Peter must have bought the edition with the gatefold sleeve to see that much of the doggie and all it's "glory". The doggie on mine was just wearing a red jacket, har har! I think the record sounds a lot more professional, and that's a double edged sword I suppose. Now that Stuart's a celebrity I see that he hires his dogs from Dave "Creature Features" Stewart's professional pooches. There was a time when he'd have gone along to Madame Bow-Wows like the rest of us. I like the song a lot, though, especially the dangerous bassoon. Oooh, it's chilly, I think I'll wear my hat. When I was a member of our local nature club we went out for a walk one day in weather like this. There was frost on the ground and on the leaves it looked as soft as fur but bit your fingers if you touched it. We were told a story about a pheasant who had been out too long in the cold so its tail fell off. They showed us the tail as a grim reminder so that we'd remember to use our "Pheasant Sense" if we ever saw one caught in the cold. I felt like that poor pheasant yesterday when I walked home. The wind was so cold I thought my legs were going to fall off. They didn't, thankfully, because my bus came in time, but I think I'll have to buy some long johns. I wonder if Stuart David plays on Marx and Engels or if it's a different version. I wonder what's happened to Lord Anthony too. I like it when Struan gets all angry and revolutionary, trying to subvert the state with his unconventional song structures. Don't you? Brr!
