Jake wonders :
On a related tangent, maybe Philippe can shed some light on why there are so many French Paul Auster fans? I'm inclined to believe that there are actually more French P.A. fans than American ones. Just curious.
French people like artists whose work is strongly linked to New York. Because New York is the city in the US where you feel the most a kind of "european culture". And we love artists who love France! Many writers (Auster, Jay MacInerney), film directors (Auster), music composers (Philip Glass) have many fans in France. And some of these artists speak french, which is not the case for a majority of americans :) But this has nothing to do with Belle&Sebastian. So if some of you want to discuss about this kind of subjects with me, you can contact me privately. We can talk about America, France, Scotland, Germany as much as you want to! Looking forward to hearing from you, Philippe +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
