Yeah, here in America, Nickelodeon (also the channel which aired Belle & Sebastian episodes) showed both Dangermouse and Count Duckula. I was a fervent admirer of both. I think if forced to choose, I'd say I liked Dangermouse better. A friend of mine started a short-lived band called Penfold's Revenge on the Chief. They only practiced twice for a show that never happened. I think they wrote a song making fun of Rush Limbaugh. Then there was a punk band that played here in Athens (Ohio) thursday, called Penfold. I didn't go see them, however, so who knows if they're good or not. Incidentally, a friend of mine and I are putting together a tape of bands covering songs from cartoons, etc. and an accompanying 'zine. Sort of like that "Saturday Morning Cartoons" comp with the Ramones covering Spider Man, but this one will be good. Anyway, the point of it is that a friend of mine (who's on the list, I think) is in a band and they'll be covering the theme from Danger Mouse. I also had this little fantasy in my head about Belle & Sebastian wanting to join in & covering the theme to Belle & Sebastian. But I felt it was silly to ask them to do a silly tape comp, plus I don't even remember how the theme went. (shrug). On the Close Lobsters tip, they were a mid-80's band based in England I think. They released some things on Fire Records, I think. Or at least, that's what it's on in America. One of my favorite finds here was a tape of one of their albums for a buck. Unfortunately the tape died =( I don't really think they sound like B&S, but they're quite nice & jangly. I'd wager someone else on this list knows a lot more about them... /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - mick@indiepop.com - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - sandcastlerecords@indiepop.com | | Sandcastle Homepage - http://indiepop.com/sandcastle/ | | | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

The Close Lobsters hailed from Glasgow
well never let it be said that the duke is nothing if not pedantic... Close Lobsters in fact hailed from Paisley, which explains the lines in 'Skyscrapers of St Mirin' that talk about the town of pattern. St Mirrin of course being the local soccer team i believe. Close Lobsters were a fine fine band, who i saw many times in the mid to late 80s, and who often swapped members with another Paisley/Glsgow band, the very grand Church Grimms, whose 'Mr Watts Said' is a bona fide classic.
I seem to remember that they were more successful in the USA than Great Britain ... I'd be interested what happened to the Burnett Brothers subsequently ...
last i heard was many years ago and was that they had in fact decamped to the US. Maybe my minds now palying tricks but then i also seem to hazily remember that at least one of subsequently returned to Paisley. i'm probably making that bit up though. stay gold, the duke ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
