Sinister: nottingham forest / dog on wheels

[Richard North]

Okay I am not going to swear in this email but I am very, very 
tempted.

I was slouching on the sofa, watching MTV Alternative Nation.  It was 
playing Cornershop's ' Brimful of Asha on the 45 ' , which out of 
interest is a good song.  At the end of the record I began thinking,

"Belle and Sebastian did a video for Lazy Line Painter Jane.  It was 
shown on the ITV Chart Show.  I wish it would come up next"

This is not something I usually think and to my utter amazement at 
something that just couldn't be a coincidence, the opening tones of 
' Dog on Wheels ' came on!!!!! What are the chances of a Belle and 
Sebastian video being shown at any time.  It was so weird.  First 
Belle and Sebastian promo I have seen before.

The video:

Okay it is basically shot in a slightly fuzzy tone. It might feature 
members of the band ( I dunno what they look like - damn those 
Manchester gig-goers!!!) but who knows.  They were searching for a 
Dog on Wheels and thats it really.  Not the best description really 
but there was a wall with the following graffitti:  "La Pastie de la 
Bourgeoisie".  Wow!  

Okay - next bit

I figure that if there are now over 400 people on this list ( + I 
keep seeing " hi I am new " messages all the time ) then someone must 
support Nottingham Forest, like me.  Also I suspect that the most of 
us are british considering B&S's well...y'know...scottishness.

Also has anyone been to my home town?  It is near Heathrow.  It is 
called Ashford and it is NOT the Ashford in Kent.  Does anyone live 
near me?  Don't worry I am not an internet freakazoid! Just a yes or 
no will suffice I don't want to meet up or anything.  I am just 
curious.

Also are there any Germans out there?  I am doing A level German and 
am gonna do German & Linguistics at Bangor in North Wales.  Anyone 
out there to practice german emails mit?

Okay - oh yeah - I am only recently into the Smiths.  I bought ' 
Queen is Dead ' after hearing Cemetery Gates.  What other albums 
should I buy?  I also got ' Southpaw Grammar ' by Morrissey for £3.99 
which I also like.  What good albums has he done?

In a tape swap earlier in the year.  I made a couple of tapes of 
Radiohead bsides for someone in Newcastle.  I filled one side up with 
Belle and Sebastian 'cause I'd run out of gloom from ver 'head.  He 
emailed me back and said he absolutely loved B&S and he has now 
bought all there stuff (except TM of course!).  I will now forever 
know Lazy Line Painter Jane as 

" that song wiv the bird innit " 

as he so eloquently put it!

OTHER NEWS:  

I was in a (proper) record shop in Twickenham the other day and asked 
just out of interest if he had Tigermilk.  He said no but told me an 
interesting story of how his friend sold a vinyl copy for a fiver!!!!

What a mistaka to maka!!!!

Okey Dokey 

I am going now

bye

NORTHY!!!
