*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* "Pop: Belle & Sebastian" Tom Cox, The Guardian Guide, 29th August 1998 "Glasgow's Belle and Sebastian are sensitive, lamb-like souls who don't like being written about, let alone interviewed; I wouldn't be surprised if they took a contract out on me for previewing their gig, were it not for the fact that they're such out and out wimps. They prefer to "let them music do the talking" which is allowed, in this case, since it speaks the same language as Love, Nick Drake, The Lovin' Spoonful and The Go-Betweens. Introverted leader Stuart Murdoch is one of the few songwriters that can write intimately about Boots The Chemist and get away with it. But beware: his legion of bedroom saddo devotees is now almost as frighteningly obsessive as those of Meat Is Murder-era Morrisey. Take some poetry and a bunch of flowers so you blend in." .. which I think is a cracking review, not just of the band but of us! There's a lot of giggling going on over breakfast here. Poor Tom. honey, funnily enough, in a bedroom xxx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
