Sinister: As big as the Cardigans?!?

[Landmine9 at xxx.com]

A faraway friend mentioned the other day that he believed Belle and Sebastian
would be as big as the Cardigans soon enough.

I can't really see this happening.  The Cardigans have a dancey aspect that
makes them more accessible to a wider audience.  I have heard from more than
one person that B&S are "depressing,"  thus destroying any mass appeal they
might have.  I have even played them for a couple of people who I was certain
would like them, and they just kind of shrugged.  Even the friend who likes
Simon and Garfunkel and does speed didn't like them.

What do you think?  Are they movin' on up?  And what kind of effect will
their rather odd way of dealing with press effect it?
