As this is only my second post ever ever to sinister, I had better make it useful and pleasing. It plans on being informative, which is boring, so I will attempt to insert some interesting content. But first, the informative part: I read in (IIRC) the transcript of an online chat with the band that Isobel sang one of Stuart's songs. Since Isobel wrote Beyond The Sunrise, I presume this means that Stuart wrote Family Tree. The not-so-informative part: There is a record store in town which seems to be prime for a good dose of Belle and Sebastian. They are small and have an atmosphere that screams "we love indie music". However, I have seen *one* B&S album in there to date. A friend says he bought his copy of Fishy Clap there, so that makes two. The store also seems to be devoid of just about any other related music. Which is to say that on the outside they appear to be a quaintish little indie store, but on the inside all they sell is what's popular. Sigh. I suppose I ought to let them know there's a market for such things here, but I really don't like the idea of the onus being on me. Anyway, I don't know where I was going with this, I guess I was just filling up space to make this seem less like a sort of know-it-allish informational post and more like some B&S-related opinions/news. Perhaps it didn't work. Ah well. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
