Hello Just a few thoughts on the issue of B+S becoming P!O!P!ular. "That old chestnut? I'm going home." No, hold on a second! I was just wondering if it really happens that often, that a really good band that's been in obscurity for years suddenly becomes popular. Most bands that have been around for a while before becoming famous haven't actually been that great before they became famous. Take Pulp, pre-Countdown, for instance. In theory, if the world suddenly "discovers" Belle and Sebastian, they'll also discover the older albums so they'll become enormous. But then, I don't think this ever happens, really, does it? Maybe you'll know. I don't know much about pop music meself.
