i read the freaky trigger bit, it is more of the whole music as an empirical science type of writing, quantifying his own opinions to support a subjective conclusion or something. it is incredibly arrogant to assume he has the facts and he needs to set the record straight for anyone who might think that belle and sebastain had more than 1 or 2 tunes in them. ugh. i am not surprised that the clientele are bashing belle and sebastian, likely they do not want the burden of the belle and sebastian mob. sure i love belle and sebastian and the fans are mostly lovely people but most articles about the band can not escape a mention of the fans, the sad fans, the weepy pathetic boys and the rest of the lot. maybe the clientele would like to be judged on their music, but then when has a band ever achieved thatin particularly with the british press. truth is that the clientele are far more twee than b&s to my ears, and to those same ears i don't understand any comparisons between the two bands so who knows why i am relating my feelings about them. does this binobo person choose this name because in relation to the rest of his body are his testicles massive? the new edwin moses lp is a party on plastic in an incredibly lovely package, siesta always has the most stylish digipacks but this one is just exquisite and the music while entirely composed of cover versions(masterfully executed plan there) is just sensational, should be since all of the songs they chose are classic slices of soul apparently done by edwin moses the soul singer not the high hurdler. if you are too lazy to search out the originals(like myself) pick up this tribute record instead, just gorgeous! only 5 days until the fairways live:) haven't seen them since the seo hui popfest, of course everyone should buy their album too. oh but forget bright eyes, i have been reading the list for a bit and a few people have talked up his brilliance, i imagine these are 15 and 16 year old girls, he cries in most of his songs probably distraught because his aunt crocheted him a teal afghan instead of a mauve tea cozy. little conner is good for a laugh though because anyone that serious surely can't be taken even the slightest bit seriously. keith m __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
