Sinister: No one has mentioned Bell-end Semenstain lately

[Mark Casarotto]

One day, could someone please write to sinister and say "great! This
interview in x media scum mag is quite funny, and pretty accurate, and
informative too! I really enjoyed reading that" with a big honest
metaphorical grin. I enjoyed reading the Q interview, I thought the piece in
Select was funny and often spot on, I like the fact people in the media are
interested in B&S - I don't care about their motives, I think it's fab that
the band get press. 

I really enjoyed the Q review because it talked about my favourite band, and
said things I didn't know, and gave me a bit more of an idea what Richard
and Chris and Stevie are like (though I was disturbed by that bit with the
teabag). I found it funny when it was funny, not just because I knew more
than the writer. I'm sure the interviewer got some things wrong - most of
which I couldn't correct anyway - but so what? I don't read Q, I don't
suppose I ever will, but thank you to them for putting Belle and Sebastian
in their paper.

There. Sorry, I had to say that - I'm sure Mick had no intention of saying
any of the things I've railed against, but it just reminded me of all the
responses to articles that have been posted here, many of which have veered
off into elitism and one-upmanship. Hell, I enjoy elitism and one-upmanship
as much as the next one-upman, but I felt I should say this rather than
bottling it up till next time.

To lighter things...am I wrong, or does tinystar Jess every now and again
write to the list promising to take off yet another item of clothing? There
is in fact a photo of me with me vest on somewhere on the net, but I imagine
it's less alluring, somehow...

School uniform - until I was 13, I had to wear a crimson blazer to school,
which gave the local thugs an extremely easy target. There was a lot more
trouble between the local girls' schools, though - just before I left, there
were reports of vanloads of police having to break up a running battle at
Wimbledon station between 50 girls, armed with knives, bike chains etc. Must
have been quite a sight, if not terribly Belle and Sebastian.

I'm going to buy a football for Bowlie.
Shit on the Villa,
Markx
