'lo listees,

I'm happy to see that everyone's in a better mood - I might be if I 
wasn't nursing a red wine hangover from a tree trimming party we threw 
last night for all of our friends.  Imagine passing out before midnight 
at your own party!  uh, yea, a bit embarrassing, but I woke up to the 
utterly lovely sounds of my friend Chris playing violin with a couple of 
others on guitar in my living room.  Big SIGH!  Our tree topper is this 
fantastic gift that two of my friends, who were the only other real 
Belle & Sebastian fans there, besides my flatmate and myself, but they 
put three coloured 7 inches together, sort of in a mickey mouse face 
shape.  It's the topper of the century!  So please, feel free to borrow 
the idea - I wish I'd thought of it.  Just don't use any 7 inches you 
really like or can't find.  Maybe Screaming Trees would work.  But then, 
I wouldn't want to know they had the place of honour on my tree.  Hmm, 
now that's a dilemma...

We played the new ep on our show on Friday and the only songs which 
strike me (i.e. i still remembered them after first listen :_>) were 
This is Just a Modern Rock Song and Slow Graffitti.  I don't quite know 
what to think about the other two.  Isobel is OK as a vocalist, really.  
But to whomever keeps comparing her to Heavenly, I'm sorry, but I 
DISAGREE!!  No one does Heavenly but Amelia!  And "Cool Guitar Boy" is 
one of my favourites...  I don't hear it at all when I listen to Isobel, 
whose singing ability reminds me more of Nico - sort of unsure, except, 
um, Nico doesn't really sqeak.  Please, no don't slam me with claims of 
B&S or Velvet Underground blasphemy!

And can I say that this shortening of EP titles and song titles is 
driving me MAD!!  Who started it?!

merry, merry to everyone...
Alexandra
