Yaaaaawwwwnnnnn God, i'm knackered. This is what happens when you stay up til 1 in the morning staring at a computer screen. Why? Because of the MTV.com Belle and Sebastian webchat, that's why. And what a load of CRAP it was. It takes something like this to remember why it is we need music journalists. It was Chris, Richard and Mick answering the questions which were almost without exception banal, dull or just plain silly (and frankly the answers weren't a whole lot better). It wasn't as if questions were being asked and then the moderator was following them up to get a decent answer, it was just question, loads of waffle between fans, one line answer (the boys must be slow typers), more waffle and bitching about our questions not getting picked... The two most interesting points were they'd like the Chemical Brothers to do a remix and if Richard hadn't been a drummer he'd have tried to be a professional snooker playa (but i think we knew that second bit, didn't we?) Oh, and they haven't heard the new eminem single yet the transcript will be here: http://www.mtv.com/sendme.tin?page=/mtv/music/listening_party/belle_sebastia n/index.html at some point, although it'll just be the questions and answers, not the full 'tween fan bitching and 15 year old americans asking you for sex. Oh and some twat asked the question in the header, don't ask... sorry I couldn't get a full transcript, but i couldn't make it cut and paste... On that page they also have Realplaya video clips for Legal Man and Wrong Girl. The Wrong Girl vid is GRATE, what i can see though the Realplaya murk anyway, and it has funny subtitles, which I *think* are all Dylan quotes, Ms Waggner, would you care to confirm this :) Anyway, i am also feeling knackered because i am taking hayfever tablets and despite the claims of the nice woman in Boots they are making me feel like i am lagged to buggery as they do each year. And how come no one's mentioned There's Too Much Love. This is currently my FAVE track on the album, although I think it would be even better with another verse. ** Trivia Time ** Can anyone else think of another band who steadfastly refuse to release tracks off albums as singles? I'm drawing a blank, but i was wondering if there was a precedent. xoxo CarsmileSteve A glasto meetup is looking more and more likely, honest, click below to find out more :) http://www.egroups.com/group/siniglasto +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
