Just because someone mentioned Optic Nerve I must concur and agree forthrightly that listening to Belle and Sebastian whilst reading Optic Nerve may result in overdose on nostalgia and most things winsome --or rather, hopeless.

optic nerve is great and the mention gives an opportunity for a most shameless plug: adrian tomine, author of optic nerve has done very nice covers for several records by portland, oregon band the crabs, a very sweet two piece with a number of records and singles on k records. the most recent album has the a.t. art (there's also a 7" with a.t. art) and has cello by me on it. that album is called 'what were flames now smoulder'. seamus ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
