Sinister: you are known throughout the school for being strange

[Rachel Playforth]

i have been conducting a one-woman crusade to get to the bottom of the
'westlife steal b&s lyrics' scandal, but without mp3 evidence it's
difficult to ascertain whether westlife ACTUALLY sing a cover of 'the
model', or whether some jester posted those lyrics once and they've been
assumed to be correct by the other sites (for there are many!)  the
first answer is obviously the most appealing...  watch this space i
guess.

nice to see SGS grabbing her 15 seconds of fame in classic vox pop
style...  i always hope to be interviewed at a b&s event so i can say
'only belle and sebastian understand the torment of my uniquely
sensitive soul' and the like, while biting my lip and fiddling with my
retard fringe and plastic hairclips.  funnily enough, you are more
likely to see plastic hairclips on britney spears clones at skool disko
these days... (and what exactly is a retard fringe?)

i watched 'welcome to the dollhouse' last night.  at one point a
character shouts 'fuck this shit', nicely prefiguring the belles'
contribution to 'storytelling'.  i'd like to see dawn wiener as a b&s
fan in waiting, but these days i fear she'd end up listening to staind. 
the whole film is painful to watch, in a kind of 'there but for the
grace of god' way -  my early teens were a british, and slightly less
extreme, version of dawn's.

how could i NOT be a belle and sebastian fan?

luv archel xxx

ps. apologies to james thorniley, rob brennan, marianna, jeremy and
anyone else i neglected to namecheck after the picnic.  i know you were
there, honest :)

pps. not that i'm conceited enough to think that being namechecked by me
is on anyone's 'dreams come true' list.
