PITCHFORK REVIEW Funny one, that Pitchfork review. I don't love legalman (despite the fact I am a legal man and love nothing more than shouting about clauses 1, 2, 3 and 4) but I love the album and I can't see how legalman really relates to it. But hey what do I know? (lots and lots actually). As for bands being disappointing, it's an odd concept. I think six albums in eight years is a good return and it's not like there are any mid 80's Rolling Stones-esque embarrassments in the back catalogue.(I bet you Jagger wishes he wrote Track 3 off FYHC). I've been far more disappointed with other bands over the years. Back to the LP...It's my favourite Belles album since Twattybus (so that would be 1 and a soundtrack but still...)and it's probably better than Twattybus. KIDS IN AMERICA Are the majority of B&S fans Kids in America? Interesting one that. I can't answer it but if Sinister is taken as a sample the majority are UK based, non? SINISTER GOLD (Sky channel 268) It's good to see Sinister Gold in action what with the re-emergence of old posters. Which got me thinking- whatever happened to the sinister village? For those too young to remember it was a virtual village which featured members of Sinister. It was probably crap but at the time I was at University and helped me to waste the day in the library so I have rose tinted memories of it. ON LORD ANTHONY Incidentally, it was possibly around that time, (maybe a little earlier) when the Big Rumour went round that Lord Anthony would be released on a single with Middle Distance Runner and Paper Boat. So by my calculation Paper Boat might see the light of day in 2005. I prefer the live version of Lord A I've got where it was clearly Struan at an open-mic night as you can hear pint glasses being smashed and collected in the foreground. The DWC strings are very lush but you can't beat the smokey, beery ambience the live version contains PARANTHESES Yes, I realise there are far too many in the above post.
