belle and sebastian aren't the only ones having a busy week. between adopting a furby and catching up on classes and getting over an illness i've had nary a moment to make my own little comment on belle and sebastian's winning the brit award. first off, i just think it's fucking impressive that within three years a band can go from relative obscurity to national celebrity almost entirely based on the quality of their output. i mean, no offense to jeepster, but as an indie they lack the money and marketing clout of a major label, and the band have done little with the press to make themselves known, so their acclaim comes entirely from the quality of their music. to reach this point within three years is a minor miracle, to do so and remain true to what they've said they wanted to be is amazing. i'm sure it sounds silly, but wow. congratulations. xox megan who's so excited about seeing them on abc in two weeks that she's going to mark her calender *now*. mkl206@is8.nyu.edu visit the NEWLY UPDATEDmagnetic fields web page at: http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
