Sinister: voting thing at the fanclub site
we've just passed 300 subscribers to the voting booth, and in light of that i am prepared to add 5 questions of your choosing. if you want to nominate a question then just let me know, it must be a question that the answer can be marked on a 0-10 scale. so, instead of "do you reckon belle and sebastain will ever release tigermilk?" the questions will be listed like; "on a scale of 0-10 (ten being highest), how likely do you think it is that belle and sebastian will re-release tigermilk?" get the idea? david k PS: no-one has sent in anything to colour i, so it looks as if the international colouring competition will be called off before it starts! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

hello beautiful listees, just posting in from lovely dc, watching the weather heat up and trying to slip in a little bit of b&s on our top 40 radio that keeps blasting out billy joel today.

oh dearie. i thought that there was talk about the colouring contest, but i didn't realize it had already started. does this mean it's called off? pooh, i just took my magic markers out! dc-B&S: anyone for the tibetan freedom concert june 13-14? i just have to say: radiohead, rem, beck & pulp are playing. tickets go on sale next saturday, may 2. only thing that seems to be missing is b&s. do you think we could request them to get a little political for a good cause? ;) i'll be there in terry underwear. (and my pulp hardcore tshirt) have a terrific weekend & do something rebellious. i'm going to buffalo, ny. that's a real rebellion in the making, i might even venture into ... toronto! oooer, canada!!! -thaian (wee chi chi) xxoo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

hmmm. do you think b& s are a-political? seems to me they are the most political band i've heard for many years, certainly WAY more political than all the other bands you mentioned... ho hum. me and adrian have just been out swilling beer and cider and bushmills. the duke -- i'm not brave, i'm not special, i'm not any of those things. ------------------------------- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

hi all! doh, me and the duke just seem to clash.... can i just say my point, a simple one. i sound up myself here, but duke said that he was generalising in calling youth apathetic. don't you think that those generalisations are dangerous???? us who actually care, have it hard enough ith everyone else as it is, and when you think theres someone who might be on your side, they just lump you in as apathetic with everyone else. a lot of people give up. and i can't say f**k you asshole, cos Honey pie would tell me off :p
hmmm. do you think b& s are a-political? seems to me they are the most political band i've heard for many years, certainly WAY more political than all the other bands you mentioned...
*coughs* i would loove to see you explain where it is that B&S's political leanings come in. no, honstly, i would :) political in a sense of doing what they want, man? political in....oh please, i want to know what political you see in them? are you seeing an *attitude* in them? cos lots of bands have *attitudes* but....B&S by themselves, not speaking about this list here, just their records listened to by an individaul.....don't lament the cesspit of capitalism do they? i don't get it mooommmy!
ho hum. me and adrian have just been out swilling beer and cider and bushmills.
thats how much i know. whats a bushmill? *sighs* i could be at a picnic now. but no. i am tpng a quick email, before doing mountains of irnoing. i really hate weekends. i hate my dull existence and the shallowality of it all! *sighs* i think its about time to start sobbing in a corner. but then i'd just be told off for not doing their ironing.

duke said that he was generalising in calling youth apathetic.
people apathetic really. ho hum.
don't you think that those generalisations are dangerous????
no, i don't have time to be specific about every single person i might meet
and when you think theres someone who might be on your side, they just lump you in as apathetic with everyone else. a lot of people give up.
did i say 'sarah you are apathetic'? don't recall that one... anyone who isn't will fight what's said, will react, either vocally or by doing something to prove i'm wrong, and probably won't even give a shit about proving that cos why should they care? i'm just no-one.

you don't have to sing 'down with capitalism' or 'down with facism' to be politcal. some groups (McCarthy and Gang of 4 spring to mind) can write overtly and openly politcal songs and make it work, whilst others (Redskins spring to mind) do not. B&S are political in the way they do, or do not do things, and if you want to call that an 'attitude', fair enough. i just call it a a way of living. i also think that the way that stuart writes can be construed as being political because it is outside of common/popular thinking about content of songs/way of writing and by it's manner rather than content makes a political comment, if you care to see it. it's in interpretation, and i don;t care is Stuart tells me i'm a dick and B&S are not political because it's irrelevent, with Pop being essentially subjective. B&S are political in the way that Dexys were political, by refusing to play the party game, by going out on limbs, by daring to be strange.
thats how much i know. whats a bushmill?
irish whisky, and as i told Adrian, reminded me of being in New Orleans and writing dreadful poetry on napkins.
*sighs* i could be at a picnic now. but no. i am tpng a quick email, before doing mountains of irnoing.
go to the bloody picnic.
i really hate weekends. i hate my dull existence and the shallowality of it all! *sighs* i think its about time to start sobbing in a corner.
and when the sobs subside, go out and do something less boring with your life. respect, even though you hate me, kids. the duke -- i'm not brave, i'm not special, i'm not any of those things. ------------------------------- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

i wasn't suggesting that b&s aren't political, nor was i suggesting they are a-political-- i was merely suggesting that they could be political for a good cause in this case. Furthermore, i was not passing judgment on whether any of the aforementioned bands, were political or not (and i certainly wasn't comparing their political statements to b&s'); merely that the cause for freedom of tibet is a political cause & the bands that are involved are performing for a political cause. all clear? xoxo, thaian (wee chi chi) *** Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief. Much of your pain is self-chosen.
