Sinister: Jonathan David

[Robin Stout]

Geri Halliwell was on This Morning today relating her horrible 
experience when someone broke into her home and spurted Ribena 
all over it. Really, whoever it was, this Ribena obsession has gone 
beyond a joke, give yourself up now. The poor girl's looking terribly 
thin. Rumour has it, her new song "It's raining men" is a hasty 
rewrite of a song written shortly after the incident called "It's the 
Ribena men". The rewrite was necessary as the original was 
deemed "corrupting" and police were worried it might provoke 
copycat incidents. Unfortunately this means the song now sounds 
like a bag of tired old shite.

And later on, Jeepster said this...

                            3.The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner* 

'Jonathan David' is the first new material to be released by Belle & 
Sebastian since last year's Top 10 single 'Legal Man' and the 
critically acclaimed album 'Fold your Hands Child, You Walk Like A 
Peasant' which followed. Vocal duties on the lead track fall to Stevie 
Jackson and it is hoped that this release will command the same 
radio and press support as 'Legal Man' which achieved daytime as 
well as specialist play and a 'C' list placing at Radio 1 and an 'B' 
list at Xfm. The band are already confirmed to record a live session 
for John Peel on May 11th, broadcast details are not yet known."

Hooray!
