That could be another thread, funny looks in record
shops...the funniest look I ever got in a record shop was
when I bought a Sun Ra LP in Swordfish Records in
Birmingham. They both had a good laugh at my expense, the
cheeky monkeys. To cap it all, when my dad saw the record he
said, "Who's that fatty?"

Which just goes to show.

B&S bit. After months of trying, I finally had a Belle and
Sebastian dream! It was a concert and they sounded
completely different. People from the audience were invited
up on stage to play the glockenspiel. Stuart Murdoch showed
me his underpants (I don't know why). They were turquoise
bikini bottoms.

Freaky, eh? Any psychologists on the list? Amateur or
otherwise....
