A faraway friend mentioned the other day that he believed Belle and Sebastian would be as big as the Cardigans soon enough. I can't really see this happening. The Cardigans have a dancey aspect that makes them more accessible to a wider audience. I have heard from more than one person that B&S are "depressing," thus destroying any mass appeal they might have. I have even played them for a couple of people who I was certain would like them, and they just kind of shrugged. Even the friend who likes Simon and Garfunkel and does speed didn't like them. What do you think? Are they movin' on up? And what kind of effect will their rather odd way of dealing with press effect it? michael ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
