Sinister: Some search engine nonsense...

[Ailsa Ross]

I have an essay to write and have been up all night trying to finish it,
and when taking a wee break, I decided to stick the words "belle and
sebastian" into Altavista, then tried again with "stuart murdoch".  Came
up with a couple of nice things, so if you want to be similarly
entertained, point your mouse this-a-way, to save you all traipsing
through all the nonsense like CVs from Australian photographic students.

This is the coolest, it has clips and theme tunes for kids shows,
including Belle and Sebastian :)

This one refers to the lyrical insight that has recently been discussed
here at some length (mostly by me), even though the author does confuse
Stuarts David and Murdoch. Quite a good read, I think.  Maybe the person
who wrote this is actually on Sinister?

A very lovely photo of Struan.

Describes them as a "low-quality Sonic Youth".

Claims that Belle and Sebastian the TV show doesn't exist.  Don't appear
to have heard of Mick Cooke (this was an article penned after the
Brits).  Bizarrely suggests that Brian Molko should start listening to
the Go-Betweens to become more like B&S.  All very odd, this one.

One for Mark, our resident Wimbledon fan.  Why have you never told us
that Struan is actually the goalkeeping coach for the Wombles?  See
http://www.netti.fi/~wombles/dons.htm for proof.  Nice to know that
Scotland keeper Neil Sullivan is being coached by such a fine
footballing superstar :)

This is a cracker.  Struan sings like he's chopping onions, and Dirty
Dream#2 sounds like "Motown reinvented by a depressed Lulu" apparently.

I was also intrigued to find out that Mick Cooke is the manager of the
Eire Ladies under-16 football team, whilst also forming the Hastings
sub-aqua club (was that the reason for the location of Bowlie?  So he
could go and check up on his proteges just down the road?).  Richard
Colburn is a state senator in Maryland, Chris Geddes is a big cheese in
Canadian volleyball circles, Sarah Martin runs a stud farm in Co Meath,
Stuart David has written a book called "How to become a professional
calligrapher (a pentalic book)" and Isobel Campbell is the chairperson
of the South Harris agricultural association, organising fine
sheep-shearing competitions by all accounts (well according to the
Stornoway Gazette)

But most revealing is the admission by one Geraldine Halliwell that the
things she likes most in the world are Abba, Elvis and Stevie Jackson...

The web is a wonderful way of making sure you don't do any work :)

Sorry for not having anything interesting of my own to say,
