Surely B&S's sound is far too intimate to be huge. A song like "Get me away from here, I'm dying" would be completely lost in a stadium. They'll only get big if they beef it up, in the same way as the Divine Comedy have become successful only since they got a 40 piece orchestra in to record the Casanova album (which incidentally is fabulous). The closest B&S have got to that so far was on LLPJ, which almost went top 40 as a result. As for being too miserable to be popular, well OK so they're not ABBA (hey shame!). But they're complete hedonists compared to Radiohead, and OK Computer was a number one all over the world. Stuart G
