I must stand shoulder to shoulder with Nicola when the firing squad takes aim. I love Monica Queen's bit on LLPJ and I must confess to a youthful affinity to the oeuvre of Deacon Blue. Truth will out! The thing about Monica's bit on LLPJ is that it's so not Belle & Sebastian. Which makes it all the more great. Like the crazy keyboards on the as yet unreleased (how cool am i??) Tigermilk [the track not the mysterious lost album of the Incas] when they played it at Oxford; it was like a new texture or new dimension to their sound. Suddenly the band were rocking, or even rockin' (blimey!). That's what I love about B&S - so much variety yet with a clear common thread that keeps their work coherent. hot love john xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
