Sinister: raindrops keep falling on my head...

*****************
1st time boast
*****************
                      hello everyone i'm a newbie...let me be honest...i have 
no idea who belle & sebastian are...i have been directed here by a friend who 
said that this is a good place to come if you are travelling abroad & looking 
for gullible folk willing to let a stranger stay with them...ok ok ok ... i'm 
kidding...he also said it was a good place to pick up girls as well...

**********************************
that joke isn't funny anymore
**********************************
no..no..really i have no idea who belle & sebastian are...are they a folk 
band...? ... i am intrigued...i quite like listening to cat stevens...and the 
new seekers...i'm sure i could get into them...

************************************
ok..ok...ok...in all seriousness
************************************
ok...i'll put my sensible head on now...i have heard of belle & 
sebastian...i'm just messing...i read with great admiration "the dukes" 
post...he more or less said everything that had to be said...i liked seeing 
the reference points..."love" ... oh yes...and "felt" ... most 
definitely...if i may humbly add the "mbv" thumbs up from b&s on "le pastie 
de la bourgeoisie"...but let me add as McCarthy once said" its a dirty world 
out there" ... anybody who has signed a record deal will know that the moment 
you sign...you have technically sold out...the moment the ink is dry you 
become a commodity...its a credit to jeepster that they have respected b&s 
principles for so long...because at the end of the day the job of any record 
company worth their salt is to make sure that their artists sell records and 
are heard by as many people as possible... the days when a band used to put 
out 4 & 5 track 12 "s & cds are long gone...b&s were perhaps one of the 
last...but i'm sort of glad...because i would be interested to see where they 
chart...with nothing but snide comments from the press and minimal play on 
the radio...i would be interested...i fully expect them to go crashing into 
the top 20 ( i would say top 10 but its a fact that if woolworths don't stock 
your record you have no chance of hitting the top 10! ) ...and the following 
week to go crashing out... because thats the sign of a band with a huge and 
loyal following...everyone who's going to buy it will buy it the day that it 
comes out...

******************************************************************************
******************
i thought that if you had an acoustic guitar it meant that you were a protest 
singer!
******************************************************************************
******************
i just had a funny thought...whenever i think about acoustic guitars...i 
think of that scene from "animal house"...with this hippy looking guy playing 
guitar surrounded by loads of doe eyed girls...john belushi (bluto) 
stops...looks at him with disgust...grabs his guitar and proceeds to smash it 
to pieces...then hands him back what's left of it ... and says with all 
sincerity....sorry...then he walks off...its a random moment of film 
genius...i love it...

******************
say goodbye...
******************
well kids its time to go...i'm off to look at the world through my strawberry 
tinted window...you could do much worse you know...i'm also attempting to 
soundtrack my life up until now...in just 90mins...its not easy i can tell 
you...+ i have this feeling that once i finish it all of a sudden i will drop 
dead!...which is an odd thought 'cos i've got space for one more song...i 
have decided its a straight choice between "raindrops keep falling on my 
head" & "south american getaway" both bacharach compositions both from the 
film "butch cassidy & the sundance kid"...i guess i shall spin a coin...i 
don't like to pick favourites...
             
love and peace ... 
                          reynard the fox...
