Has anyone seen the review of the new Blueboy album in Mojo? Not only do they make it Indie album of the month (aren't we supposed to have stopped using that word by now?) but the reviewer describes it as a more polished Belle and Sebastian. What a strange thing to say. It's a very nice record, with five or six lovely songs on it. But the up-tempo numbers suck, and it rather overplays the Cocteau Twins big echoing guitar strum effect. It does mention Oon in the thank you bit on the sleeve, though, which is cool. I presume it's the same Oon. Does anyone know anything about Union Wireless? Keith Cameron played a song of theirs on XFM the other night and it was wonderful. Also, is the Arnold record worth buying? I enjoyed the shoegazing discussion a while back. My favourite shoegazing song of all time is Mogwai's New Paths to Helicon, which pretty much defines the genre. I don't think they're much cop since, though. One more question: who is the guy who sings on the V-Twin b-side (Sound as Ever, I think it's called). It isn't Chris, is it? It sounds very much like young Roddy Frame. Now there's a man who lost the plot... Take care, DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
