K Fraser's friend (Mark Pytlik) said;

So, say you want to wryly and cleverly pay tribute to a band called Radiohead, write a song called "The Girl With The RadioHead"

My friend made this joke as soon as the album title was suggested. He said, "Graeme, can I borrow money for the new Arab Strap album? It's called "The Boy With The Belle & Sebastian"... tee hee" If, as was stated in the e-mail, there are only two speeds, and

"Speed #2 is Speed #1 except it's a little bit faster" is it just me, or does that make Speed 2# not like Speed #1 at all... more sort of faster.

Sorry about that, just had to complain about inconsistencies in the criticisms others make of B&S. The new E.P is the finest single style thingy of '98. I got mine from Jeepster (8:55 thing on Monday morning.. thanks to all at Jeepster), but when I tried to get a copy for one of my friends, NONE of the shops I went to in Kilmarnock (near Glasgow) were carrying it (Chain Stores or Independant). I know it's not eligible for the British charts, but that's no need to stop stocking it! Don't buy this weeks Melody Maker if you're just getting it for the B&S article. You could do the same if you printed out the whole of the Jeepster site, and reworded bits to make it seem like you had spoken to B&S in a range of exotic locations.
