(No B&S Content) On Wed, 18 Mar 1998 the tall guy who hadn't posted much for ages returned and wrote:

On a completely different (and almost entirely irrelevant) note, has anyone out there seen Acetone live? They're described in this month's Select as an "American Belle and Sebastian", and they're supporting Spiritualised here on Saturday; is it worth turning up early for them?

Hmmm, I can't say I see any similarities between the two whatsoever, although no doubt some reviewer out there has also mentioned VU in terms of Acetone because they do in reference to 80% of the music in my collection. Acetone sound a bit country, sort of slow and sad and pretty. They're one of those bands that I fully expected to grab me and drag me gloriously under, but when I listened to them not much happened. It's like how some people can be just perfect for you in a textbook way, except for the fact that you're not at all in love with them. So anyway, I think Acetone is a talented band, and I did mildly enjoy their last s/t release, but then forgot I had it until I read your post. I haven't seen them live, and I don't know you well enough to say what you'd think of them, but just don't go early based on that B & S mention. - Nicole . . . . n i c o l i n a @ d r i z z l e . c o m . . . . i've concluded once again that i'm too fickle for a signature file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
