<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Taking a break from reading Ken Starr's pulp
novel to make a few Belle comments (they ARE playing in the background after
all...) by numbers:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>1. Gawd, the differences between printed lyrics
& sung ones, even in "the boy with".... where's the tag lines
like "when you've been inside" and "she accepts
my confession" ? </FONT><FONT size=2>and "with the boy WITH the
arab strap / with the boy from the Arab Strap", "with"
meaning he had one, "from" meaning he was the singer from Arab
Strap?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>2. It's amazing, the lack of comparisons to The
Smiths. Maybe I'm late and we've been through all this before. Shit,
I'd better check the archives.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>3. Katrina, the T-shirts are really beautiful,
no matter what anyone says about longing for the past whimsical designs, or the
un-imaginative act of putting an album cover directly to shirt. Can anyone
amongst us dispute the sheer beauty of the Stow design?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>4. Y'all Sinisters are wonderful, and you make
my little day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Short n' sweet, I'm done.</FONT></DIV>
