This one's a sure-fire christmas hit with the kiddies... Belle and Sebastian action-figures! What with the shortage of Spice Girl dolls this Chrimbo hard-pressed parents will be happy for any pop star figures they can find. And actuall fans will be be able to collect the whole set and create their own shambolic concerts in the comfort of their own home! Just think of all the excellent and easily lost accessories...mini star wars T-shirts, tiny Stylophones, cellos, racks of keyboards. Further ideas welcomed.... And there should be a special limited edition Stuart Murdoch doll with a string in the back that when you pull it goes "I was surprised, I was happy for a ... um, errr. Oh.". Soon Buzz Lighthousefamily, Leonardo di Caprio and the other turtles will be eclipsed in the pantheon of merchandise by the clamour for fabby belle and sebastian gear and the chance to do something pretty while you can. Oh Joy! One last thing. I think it's fine to include unreleased songs in your personal top ten. It's your top ten and if you've heard a song and you love it - stick it in. It doesn't mean that you're trying to be flash. (Us Quakers are so bloody reasonable, eh) And another last thing.
