Ps My 15 year old sister hates all 3 albums so we are safe for now!
the number of 15 year olds in devon with a fondness for B&s is growing... a year and a half ago it was sniggers at the back of the class. then a few liked the badges, which grew to a partiality amongst the more sensible older ones for both Sinister and Tigermilk. see ink polaroids in the archives for some views on this... look for the 'speed' reference. an assembly with 'dylan' as the focal point further raised awareness, as did having kids design sleeves for the new record, although i'm so glad someone fibbed and said it was going to be called The Truth Abouth Youth and not twattybus. coming back from the summer away i am greeted by numerous excited youths telling me how they heard belle and sebastian on the radio ('playing songs for children' i smugly added, but they didn't get the joke...), on RADIO ONE, no less, and DURING THE DAYTIME!!! what a shcok. they even thought the tunes they heard were 'pretty good' which coming from a 15 year old student is pretty high praise. they'll probably still all buy the Mansun record instead, but what the hell. and hey, one of the smugger indie trendies even suggested that i would have to find someone new to like now. i wonder if he's on the list? detention tomorrow if he is. keep the faith, and keep shouting it from the rooftops, kids. the duke -- 'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses' Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
