what's people's take on bands like the Kostars? definitely not lyrically like b&s, but what is the (not so) subtle difference that splits them? i could classify all the exact characteristics, but i'm wondering if there is an "essence" that defines b&s vs. other clever, folksy-ecletic, alternapop. maybe it's just the cardigans and general artsy knowledge that's pervasive. another q - vespas. what's the connection? don't blame it on some cultural syzygy of 1978 rome and 1998 uk either... and why am i loathe to use the expression 'deja' vu'? isn't there some other way to describe the feeling? siddharta never wore his trousers rolled OR ate a peach. apologies for the questions without the multiple choice.
