hey. i was in athens last night to see the oh-so-overrated superchunk not because i love them, but because i love the opening band.......ladybug transistor. i know i've mentioned them before and those of you who haven't heard of them probably do what i do when i hear about some little known obscure indie band and i just go "ah poo" to myself quietly and forget i ever heard about them. you betta recognize. if it weren't for "iyfs", then ladybug transistor "beverley atonale" would've been the best piece of something to come out since sometime before. anyway, for the b&s content i alluded to...... i was talking to the ladybug boys and girls and talk got around to our beloved b&s and the singer said, and i quote "i worship the fucking ground they walk on" and then one of the girls (the bass player) nodded her head in agreement. and then mac superchunk walked out and he heard us talking about them and pretty soon the club was almost transformed into the church of belle and sebastian. it was quite a moment. and you should've seen the glow on the faces of the ladybug people and mac superchunk when talking of b&s. it was almost as if we were all talking of some sacred lost shrine that's gonna save the world. i guess it was just cool that fairly famous (or at least recognizable) people feel the same way we do about the band. anyway, i guess that wasn't much b&s content, but it was more than i usually have. oh yeah......go purchase ladybug transistor "beverley atonale". it's on merge in the states. not sure about overseas. stay away from their first album "marlborough farms" (for now). -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
