Now,a good point was made that this can all lead to "I'm more eclectic than you are" pointscoring, but it must be said that some people come from outside either the 'indiepop' (i.e. Pastels (is it?)) or Manics/Suede rockypoppers rockers scene (like moi). >> Most of my "indiepop" friends like B&S but there are plenty of others who love the music as well. case in point: my brother-in-law is a thirty-something investment banker in new york. his musical taste goes from bruce springsteen to ella fitzgerald. not exactly a place to start but when he heard "tigermilk" playing at our house he flipped. he has bought all their subsequent releases. case two: my wife is a Hank Williams, Patsy Cline fan. She hates my "indiepop" side but LOVES Belle & Sebastian. this music has SERIOUS crossover potential and being signed to a major indie here in the states can only help. on a different matter: i have been trying without success to get two singles by the band Comfort. I remember one of you lovely listees mentioning their newest single. could you please e-mail me off-list to discuss a trade? cheers, clem lane nrbqlover@aol.com n.p. guided by voices-live in amsterdam ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
