Travis are better than Belle And Sebastian cos they tour and B+S don't and that's really crap. Come on, I mean, if this were a uni course (which its not) I would have to give B+S ten out of ten top bananas for doing the work, handing in the essays and stuff, but as for the class presentation and attendance? YOU FAIL! So if you don't mind, I'm switching allegiance, although Travis' music is crap, Fran is quite cute, actually, and lets think about it this way: I have been a B+S fan for nearly two years. In that time I could have had a baby, called him Haakon (My current fave name for having a baby boy.. something to do with it being a traditional viking Norwegian name for kingly types, plus, it sounds way cool) and sent him to some sort of nursery school. Even Elastica have released another thing in that time. (sort of). Angel has become a TV series spin off. My brother has left school, taken a gap year and is now at uni. I've erm... done stuff. B+S have done... well, albums.. fair enough... and work for other interesting things... fair enough.... but no gigs. Travis, meanwhile, did loads of gigs without me having to get irrate about it and post things on lists saying "Why haven't they done a tour?" they just got on with it and did it. So, I'm going to try and force myself to stomach a bit of Travis, and be a spy in sinister, and say things like "B+S are crap, travis are much better" etc etc. Or maybe I'll go one step further and return to my Drum n Bass thing. Or perhaps think about being a more committed.. fan... of...other stuff I like, rather than waste my time waiting for B+S to tour. I'm bored, gimme a show. pleeease?
