Sinister: saint etienne

Saint Etienne are a lovely french group. for some reason, all of the music is in english, but that's besides the point.
The french bands who choose english only do that because they want The Duke to understand everything they sing. And The Duke understands everything. The british bands who choose a french name (let's say... belle & sebastian) only do that because they want the french audience to love them. And we love them !

ah, the pain, the pain... Pop mistakes are just NOT the Duke's bag, as you should all know by now. The Duke's greatest pride comes from the way people point at him, saying in hushed tones, 'there's the pretentious twat that think he knows everything about Pop. What a dick. Let's go beat him up.' It goes without saying that the Duke wouldn't even have the sense of humour to make the above statement as a joke, if indeed it was intended as a joke in the first place. Hmm. 'Humourless' is a word often heard bandied around the classroom when the Duke is strutting his stuff. Why only last week he intercepted a note which said 'sir is a grump'. Punishment was two A4 sides of what sir could do to be less of a grump. one suggestion was smiling. HA! St Etienne were in fact a one time marvelous Pop combo who too often were only mediocre, but hey, what the hell. Anyone searching the archives for all our fave list songs will discover that the Duke's fave was/is a St Etienne track that is gorgeously obscure. B&S content? Ah, nope...
