Sinister: Belle & Sebastian spotted at 37,000 feet!!
Oh yes, tis true whilst flying back from the U.S on Virgin this monday I flicked through the entertainment guide to see what was on offer : The Game (average), Modern Times : DJ (hilarious - sorry if I'm behind the times on this one but American TV tends not to specialise in such quality viewing) , I looked at what the 'radio' channels had to offer & saw that Steve Lamacq was hosting a look at what's new in 'Indie', including a mention of our favorite Scottish N'err do wells. So true enough, having listened to various dross including Propellerheads (sorry dance-inclined listies) Modern Rock Song came on - it was quite different to the sessions - it sounds more produced (states the obvious) - the trumpets go on for longer - I think? & Stuart sings 'writing songs' instead on 'riding buses' - which i have heard is what he sings live - & which I don't like as much. True to form Mr Lamacq spoke over the ending saying they were going to be massive in 98 - Ohh he is SO on the ball - so I'm not sure if it's the same as the sessions (..the song has got to stop somewhere), but i hope so. Sorry, that's a bobbins review but it was about 3 in the morning & I was trying too hard to remember all the differences So a few questions 1/ Are there other promos of this floating around? 2/ Is Jeepster somehow affiliated with Virgin, & is that why they got the scoop...? 3/ How come the annoying DJ gets to hear the song before the people that matter...? 4/ is paying £250 to fly the most anyone has paid just to hear a song? probably not, if Tigerinflation continues 5/ Is this all old news & should I shut up? I thank you for your attention Paul P.S I bought the Air (obligatory mention) album yesterday & it's watered down St Etienne b-sides ( sorry........) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Once upon a time, and it was a long time ago, on a flight to England, They had a little feature on The Farmer's Boys and "independent records." Thankfully (at the time, for now I don't care) I had my little recording walkman with me. I still have the tape and it sounds terrible, but it was nice to have an audio snippit of the journey. Does anyone remember The Farmer's Boys? Duke? Boy am I dating myself (and I must say, I'm a cheap date).

join the club... u'm cheap and no-one takes me up on the offer. now that's sad :-( um, Farmers Boys, yes indeed i remember 'em well. fine Norfolk lads they were, were they not? i have the first single (i think it's the first... 'i think i need help' on Waap! records. 'the farmer's 12 inches' it says. And 'preserving the spirit of amateurism'. Those were the days... I used to have a tape of a live show at Glasgow Rooftops but i think the tape is either long since lost in the mists of Troon or it self destructed. The later i think, from over play back in 1983. i also have their first LP on EMI, with the free 12" of remixes... sounds, um, dated last time i listened, but there you go. They played on Crackerjack once, doing 'Out in the Country...' over and out. the duke -- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Memories of The Farmers Boys - Seeing their video for "In The Country" starring Big Ron from Eastenders & lots of running about in, yes you've guessed it, the country. Someone in the band being called Frog Best of all I've still got their "Muck It Out" single as it's a rather wonderful shaped picture disc of a cartoon pig in sunglasses holding a ghetto blaster. Alas still no guarantee of a hit single. Weren't they always lumped in with the Higsons as the cutting edge East Anglian pop movement? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
