Hey there Thought you lovely folk might appreciate the chance to cut some rug within perspiring distance of members of Belle and Sebastian. I was lucky enough to cavort around to the discs spun by Stuart Murdoch at How Does it Feel in London last year. It was really nice to interact in a "normal" way with someone who has always been an inspiration. He even reacted with gentle good humour when I asked him in a comedy fashion about some lyrics I had misinterpreted for years (I now realise it is "Old Compton" a street in London mentioned in the Boy with the Arab Strap and not "Contin" a little known village in Scotland. Hey-ho…) Anyway, I digress…members of Belle & Sebastian will be DJ-ing on Friday 25th November @ 9pm, the Mint Lounge, Manchester. There is also a B&S night @ Smile, the Star & Garter, Manchester on Saturday 26th November for all those fortunate enough to reside in Lancashire. Mr Murdoch was also kind enough to listen to my shamelessly B&S inspired music released under the moniker of the Jim Muir Slideshow. The Guardian gave us single of the week and said it "Comes from that great Cocker/Weller/Morrissey tradition of kitchen sink dramas set to fantastic tunes." You can listen and download the EP for free at the following link   http://www.myspace.com/jimmuirslideshow   I'd be delighted to know people's thoughts on my blatant plagiary! Please mail me your learned thoughts off the list. You all take care & have a great weekend whatever you get up to Jim www.jimmuirslideshow.com   ___________________________________________________________ WIN ONE OF THREE YAHOO!
