And Simon Tyers from Leicester........for heaven's sake, don't shop in HMV - buy your records from Rockaboom! I bought the 7" for 99p and the cd for 1.98. It's a MUCH BETTER SHOP all round (and I don't even work there!).
Which one's Rockaboom! then? I'm an Ultima Thule devotee. More freaks pass through there than a Psychic TV concert.
At the risk of deepening Andy Dean's homesickness, and drifting further off-topic, 'cause.....err...... I reckon Utlima Thule is probably the last record shop on planet earth that'd stock Belle & Sebastian stuff (it's a great shop, but it specialises in "Krautrock" and prog stuff. Julian Cope name-checked it in his "Krautrocksampler" book, and can often be seen "hanging out" in said shop. But the guys that run it are, um....rather strange).
Has anybody ever seen Will Oldham in action? Playing here on Friday. Blimey, a concert!
Peter, where is "here"? Not Leicester, presumably. (Spiritualized are playing "there" tomorrow, oops...sorry Andy!). But yes, I have seen Will Oldham playing with the Palace Brothers (great band...sort of warped, self-indulgent country music) in Norwich about 4 years ago. They were supporting Tindersticks, with whom Belle & Sebastian have often been compared (phew, got back on topic!) Nigel xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
