[Alan Prior]

>>The Divine Comedy are an obvious one in the books/band name thing.  Not
only
>is the name borrowed, but large chunks of the lyrics are taken from
literary
>types <

and 'through a long and sleepless night' has a line nicked exactly from the
Evelyn Waugh book that neil thingy read from on mark radcliffe a year or
two ago ('Vile Bodies'). talk about being *completely* obvious- i think  he
even read that bit out. ah well. How do i know this? it's not even as if
i'm a fan or anything.

dont think icould bear to listen to one of those "quietly uplifting"
things. so wat do i mean? do i want to hear a record that means
absolutely nothing? thats just THERE? fuck knows.<

well obviously you should listen to some lovely manics records to feel a
wee bit better hehehe. i always find that 'This is Yesterday' works
wonderfully, as does their version of 'Raindrops...' Ahhhh. Also, you
should beg, borrow or steal the Bernard Butler album as i've been playing
it almost non-stop since the day it was released and it truely is a
beautiful thing.
Don't listen to records that mean absolutely nothing, they're the worst
kind, often. I don't mean they have to be full of 'intense meaningfulness'
or anything, just ones that you can relate to or dream to...
oh, and Drugstore's 'El Presidente' and 'Solved' by the unbelievable truth
are also beautiful songs to sink in to.

this probably isn't what you meant, but never mind...
i'll get me big coat,

love,
Debbie xxx.
