In response to Rob Halcrow who queried:
What is the link between the woman from Sleater Kinney and B&S? I was surprised they were at Bowlie, and then I saw her in one of their videos.<<
Sleater-Kinney are from my hometown (Portland, Oregon, USA...) so I flipped when I saw Corin Tucker in the Dirty Dream #2 video. The only connection I can think of is that, while Sleater-Kinney are on the Kill Rock Stars label in the US, they're on Matador in the UK, while Belle & Sebastian are on Jeepster in the UK, but they're on Matador here. So, they're both on Matador in each other's countries. Plus, I think they share a very similar independent-pop idealism, though Sleater-Kinney is much noisier (an arbitrary distinction, methinks) than B&S. I'd like to say that, as all you residents of Glasgow well know, it's great to live in the same town as a 'pop star' you admire, and see them walking around doing their shopping and things. It's sweet, not like South Park 'sweet', just sweet :) She's a very nice girl, that Corin, very generous in her personality. -Chris +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
