21 The missing link between Belle and Sebastian and Lemurs. I haven't seen the site yet, but if it's got all the little stories from the sleeves on, I'll be jumping for joy in a lemur-like fashion. It's ironic isn't it? All this time and no-one has so much as mentioned our ape brothers and sisters and then on the same day someone says they don't give a monkey's what Belle and Sebastian look like, and then they are honoured with their own webpage on leftover lemur space. One small step for Belle and Sebastian.... I agree with what the person said about overseas distribution. Although mail order is available, it's not the same. Going into a shop and buying a new record is a very Pop experience (probably) whereas sitting around waiting for the postman isn't. Well, it's less fun anyway. I'm not sure, but I think quite a few bands do very well financially just by being available. The reviews are always uncannily good for records that you can actually buy. Plus the reviewers don't have to resort to copying stuff out of the NME. And it's not just independant labels. I've been quite heartenend to see that people in Britain and Ireland have the same problems as me. I thought it was "worldwide release date except for Gipuzkoa" but it looks like it's more widespread. Rant over. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
