Well, I just joined the list about 2 weeks ago. Been reading things "here, there, and everywhere" at random. I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Shane, from Maine in the US of A. I'm 16 and enjoy being critisized for being a Belle and Sebastian fan by my friends. I don't know how it is in England or Australia, but Belle and Sebastian are almost as unknown as anyone can possibly get over here. I'm critisized for not liking loud guitars that dominate a song and/or rap music (if you want to call it music). I looked for this list for some people that I actually have something in common with musically. Plus, I've gotten 1 too many "wuts sinister meen" from some of the morons I hang out with. I think I am going to keep myself very low profile, only responding every once in a while, but I will read most everything. My favorite Belle and Sebastian is a cross between Sinister and Arab Strap. I especially like listening to how smoothly a transition "A Space Boy Dream" goes into "Dirty Dream Number Two". Speaking of, Dirty Dream Number Two happens to be my favorite song.
