I think everyone's got a point. I'm sure Tag's intentions were honourable and it's been nice to read peoples' opinions on a slice of pop history I missed. I like Disney Girls too. To be honest, I don't think B&S come close (yet), but in an attempt to calm everyone down, here's a bit of what Rock De Lux, Spanish pop mag, have to say about the Cock Fun Mob's concert in Barcelona: "A lot was expected of BELLE AND SEBASTIAN, partly because IYFS has just turned itself into an unexpected and spontaneous classic, because in Great Britain the "sold out" sign is hung outside the door only hours after tickets go on sale, because they don't make many trips abroad, and because they're big and small at the same time. Big because of songs such as "Like Dylan in the Movies" and "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying" (I coud say any of the songs from the album, but these are the only ones they played from it) and because more than a group, they are a pop orchestra. Small because of the reigning lack of connection on stage, for the amateurish air they wrap everything in....because if they weren't still small, they would be the best pop group of this decade." There, that's all for now. I think it's one of the nicest reviews I've seen. I particularly like "pop orchestra". There's also a very nice photo, in which Isobel can be seen fiddling with her bow and looking at Stuart, who's playing his guitar and singing. TThe caption is "shyness in the rye". There's also a big long article (2 pages), but it's beyond me at the moment. I hope that has induced a bit of warmth in everyone's heart cockles, instaed of arguing about the merits of calling oneself Neily Weely. For the record, I think it's a good idea.
