I bet it's Richard who has to sell his copy because "old man Murdoch
won't give us a raise".  Just a guess.  And one of these days, I'm going
to go to the archives and see if Karen David has actually ever sent
anything in from the Belle and Sebastian address.  I mean, it does have
her name on it...

I didn't mind Paper Boat.  It's just a silly pop song, but I'd love to
see it played live again, just to see Stuart playing the trumpet again.

"Lord Anthony", I'll fight to the death over.  I don't think Stuart's
written many more gorgeous moments than the bit when he sings "When will
you realize it doesn't pay to be smarter than teachers, smarter than
most boys".  And the "You'll soon be old enough..." bit sounds like a
combination between Queen and a missing James Bond theme.  But that's
the way it strikes me.  I can't wait until it's given a proper
recording.  Even if Mick hates it with "the passion of a thousand
suns".  Okay, so maybe he didn't say that, but it was pretty well
implied :)

So no one's stirring on the three-track single issue.  I'm very
impressed with how calmly some people have taken this news.  Not a peep
of "Oh, so they're going for the charts now, huh?!  So maybe I'll start
a fight by bringing it up.  I wonder what I'd say...
