Hi All, Hello, my name's David and I like Belle & Sebastian. I like the new album too, I hobbled all the way round town yesterday to buy a proper copy (cheapest (£10.99) in HMV or the V shop, bargain fans). The main theme is very pretty, the harmonica & piano playing are good & the trumpet playing is beautiful. The Struan-sung Big John Shaft makes this old school B&S fan happy. Storytelling has a good tune and Sarah is a lovely singer. I have a favour to ask. Does anyone who attended one of the three Arab Strap gigs recently have a copy of the mini-album 'Quiet Violence' and would be prepared to make me a CD-R of it? I have AS or B&S stuff to swap for it. I see from Katrina's somewhat delayed announcement that my intended P.S. (Now that the new B&S album has been released I wonder if the band will find some news to tell us any time soon?) has been rendered redundant. Good luck to Isobel & I hope she finds an outlet for her talents that makes her happy. Over on Mr K's Bowlie forums there is much discussion of the Jeepster wind-down: does this mean a new label for Belle And Sebastian, & if so, which one? Thank you for your time.
