Two Belle moments on local radio in London last weekend. First Mark Eitzel was on Sean Hughes' GLR show picking his favourite records of the moment. I somehow half-knew he was going to pick Belle & Sebastian and sure enough it wasn't too long before "The Fox In The Snow" piped its pretty way through my little clock radio speaker. Songs are often best heard that way. Mr Eitzel said someone handed him IYFS at a concert in the US and told him he had to listen to it. So he did, and he didn't like it, but then he listened again and now he loves it. So: Mark Eitzel, Ian Broudie, some bloke from Travis, and ermm...Ben Folds. They're taking rock aristocracy by storm.
Travis too! (Well one of) Is it Fran (such a sweet thang)? I have another name for your list...Mat Osman from Suede....

Secondly: Blimey! Heated debates a-go-go on t'list between those still umbilically-attached to their computers over Christmas or what? I didn't go to ANY of the gigs, you sods(my tiny hands are frozen, orphan face pressed up against the glittery window of B&S gigdom), so I hope you feel shamed into appreciating the marvels and incompetence which you were fortunate enough to witness. Toujours gai, Archie, toujours gai...
I didn't get to see the shows either, oh the dream of seeing a Belle and Sebastian show! None of the bands I like ever come here,and when they do come here I can't see them anyways because all the shows are usually 19+ and then (if i go to sneak in or just meet them) all these posh girls in fishnets carrying roses are evil to me cause they think I'm a groupie/teenybopper. Anyways,I'm gonna keep sitting here and "wishin' and praying' and hopin'" we'll get some North American tour dates (seems pretty unlikely,if they only play a couple of shows per year) they are very welcome to play the snowy fields in Quebec anytime....hint hint.. kiss kiss, Genevieve ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
