And there are people far more qualified than me to talk about McCarthy and Felt and the Go-Betweens (who have already been siezed on) and lots of Popsters inbetween.....
you could agree with the sentiments of the Bis song and say, as indeed i have already, that the 80s sucked if you weren't a kid, or at least pretended to be one. my friend daniel alse said that an 80s without Creation records would have been an 80s infinitely worse than they were. Of course Creation ballsed up, but the Go-Betweens didn't and nor did McCarthy or Felt. We know at least two of those groups are important to the B&S story in some way or other.... Did anyone see Rob Young's article about felt in The Wire this month? I haven't seen it myself but am irked that he's done that now with the prospect of my chunker Felt chapter coming up in October. Grrr. Has anyone written a definitive McCarthy story yet? Dog On Wheels playing right now... boy it really is a LOVEly song ;-) And was David being down on the song belle and sebastian? well it's worth it just for the line about being the only fun in town... you know it's true. the duke ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
