Apparently, it is not too far from the cosmopolitan decadent city of el and rather close to two-tone west country scenes of Sarah. I may be wrong, but I believe the northern city of Belle and Sebastian is only a bus ride away from these three places. As for music biographies, I just a finished one on the Go-Betweens. Now the cover looks awful (someone must have picked the worst publicity shot), but the book itself is quite informed and informative. However, reading it you already know the ending--the band breaks up! It was very sad. In the magazine "The Big Takeover", in an interview with Edwyn Collins, the esteemed is asked about Belle and Sebastian. He says that he has never heard their music but did meet them on a plane from Scotland to London. My Bloody Valentine have a song "Honey Power"--does this mean that the Spice Girls' schtick was stolen from our own dear HoneyPaul? Can you imagine the stick-figure Honey in platforms and a tight miniskirt (the tightest since he is already a stick!)
