try: and<BR>they have belle and sebastian on there, as well, hefner have
been compared<BR>to belle and sebastian mixed with pavement (I decree they're

in the laundry room<BR><BR><BR>><BR>>so on sunday i was doing my laundry,
after a fairly prolonged absence due<BR>>to business and a lack of desire to
hang out in the laundry room. which i<BR>>ended up doing. so
while i was leaning against the washer, waiting another<BR>>washer which i
could pounce on, i looked around. the decaying condom<BR>>machine (now
honestly, who wants to get their birth control from a machine<BR>>that looks
like it was put up around the '50s and has survived numerous<BR>>floods, but
only just barely) to the bulletin board, sponsored by
interview<BR>>magazine. next to a sexy photo of an actor named paul
rudd, who i don't<BR>>think i know, but may as he was looking so sexy he
managed to cover his<BR>>face, there was a quote wherein he said something
along the lines of, "you<BR>>can be masculine if you watch john wayne
movies or masculine if you listen<BR>>to belle and sebastian. and i do
both." aside from the lack of proper<BR>>grammar or anything, i
was surprised. i mean, the magazien chose to quote<BR>>this line,
assuming college students would recognize b&s almost as easily<BR>>as
john wayne. then i was in a bookstore today, looking at a copy of
the<BR>>acid house. as i was reading the back, where they had the
credits and<BR>>whatnot, some of the bands from the album were named.
belle and sebastian<BR>>were named fourth, before primal scream. at
first i was glad, but is it<BR>>wrong to feel a little sad? i loved
having something beautiful for myself,<BR>>something that i could share with
a few people and wonder about. the band<BR>>certainly haven't been
corrupted or anything, but there's something<BR>>wonderful about stuart
murdoch coming to mailing list picnics, and having a<BR>>group of people who
know a band and can share it's name amongst themselves<BR>>like a secret
handshake. i don't mean to offend the new people, you all<BR>>are
probably quite easily as lovely as any other listees i've met.
but<BR>>something about the first few is the sort of thing that probably
won't<BR>>happen again. do i make sense? maybe it's all the work
and the grey day,<BR>>i don't know. time for
bed.<BR>><BR>>xoxo<BR>>megan<BR>><BR>><A
