Felt... I've said it once and I'll say it again. Denim are much better. Or at least much funnier. And more of an influence on Belle and Sebastian.
I can't see how that could be. Funny maybe - I always thought Denim were a bit of a joke - come on, I believe they even used the two drummers from the Glitter Band on 'Back in Denim' for that 'authentic 70's feel'. Of course 'Middle of the Road' is a great song, but has anyone listened to their more recent offerings - 'Denim on Ice' etc. - utter bollocks. I got sent the 'Summer Smash' single during the summer and (if I haven't swapped it already) you're welcome to it. The lyrics and delivery are cringible - matched only by that song they did - something about falling off the back of a lorry I think - last year. When I had to review it I squirmed with embarassment - more for Lawrence than myself. On Wed, 15 Oct 1997, John Stuart wrote:
My fav on the new ep has to be 'Put the book back on the shelf'. I love every single song B&S have released, but would anybody else agree that the tracks on the ep's are not quite as good as those on both the albums?
My favourite too, and got a very good reception when played at The Egg on the last couple of Saturdays. I particularly liked the use of the Sebastian character (from 'Belle and Sebastian' on LLPJ ?) - and the "king of all the hipstersĀ or are you still the Queen" lyric. For me the first hearing was like the first time I heard Felt's 'Bitter End' Love's 'Your mind and we belong together' and 14 Iced Bears' 'Cut' - in short, my pop world moved. anyway, now my rambling time is up.
