Thank you Mr. Ian. I would be angry with your comments if they weren't so amusing. Admittedly, we don't get enough provocation here on the list. In fact, I've come to expect the usual tortured self-observations or half-hearted descriptions of daily serendipity, but this was--shall we say--different. regards, mark. p.s. rachael: you are consistently engaging. p.p.s. your UK references aren't so impenetrable; you're culture is a mirror of ours (or is it vice-versa?)

I am thoroughly pissed off with peoples attitudes to Belle and Sebastian when I introduce them to the unilateral beauty of B&S. The words that spring to the lips my deflowered B&S virgin friend tend to include wimpy, sad, weak , wank and poofy. Mind you the major circle in my Venn diagram of my deflowered virgins would include more followers of Mr Crowley than fanciers of non red triangled effete French movies.

Anyway, being a wee man (thinkTattoo journeying to the centre of the earth ) I take these accusations aimed at B&S as a personal attack. In order to be able to play B&S to these heathens in future, I demand the introduction of steroid/creatine supplements to the B&S Mr Motivator regime. Isobel should also be force fed vegetarian white pudding until she can commuicate fluently with the deaf through the medium of osmatic viola powerchords. Wee Stuart should be made to wear platforms, tank tops and pattern his face with a spiders web tattoo. And all singers must smoke 120 capstan full strength daily for a week prior to recording.

I would like to see the whole band take a lead from Norway and start playing with matches in churches as opposed to strumming their holy chords therein, replace their cats with starving PCP fuelled Fangface creatures, pump iron, actually use Arab Strab to brutalise each other anally,orally until the volume of band screams surpass the combined cacophony of 1 million screaming guitars.

p.s This is my first post in a year because I I'm shy and your posts are all so great especially from the people that have been on the list for over 5 months and 3 days pps. My List Crush is TAG because he is IT. Was it Sarah that won ? I like the sound of her Fluffy Candarel although I have no idea what they maybe.

DUKE: .How are Daisy, Bo, Luke or Uncle Jesse? But serously oh psychedelic educational guru what did you quote from me in your tome to the pertinence of pop in the life of us misunderstood kids?

chips and gravy: I would like E-mail pen friends from all over the world to swap pant crust /charming stories with. I would particularly like to receive pictures of lavacious muslim ladies eyes.

Speak to you in another year. In fact during the eclipse.

pppps. Americans. I have included many UK references you may not understand. This was intentional as I constantly have to suffer your cultural imperialism. And you continue to bastardize both our verbal and body language with your "Whatevers" and your ever expanding waistline plot to absorb the rest of the world.

Luv, peace, harmony and neck massages to you all. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
