Yes, Kelvigrove Park has always been a bit of a dodgy area,
including the road that runs through it. I once had an
eventful stroll along there at around about twilight time.
First of all I noticed a man enthusiastically cleaning his
gearstick in a parked car (didn't know such things happened
at the time), and then a bit further along a man who looked
like a great big mutant version of Chris Geddes tried to
block my path. I think he was going to "grab" me, but I
risked life and limb by running out into the road, thus
preserving my sanctiity for another day.

Shall I type in the last B&S related bit from my crappy
magazine?

Don't all shout at once - here it is:

Belle and Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane

What is the hyperexpressive Monica Queen doing straddling a
song by Belle and Sebastian? Putting the most well-scrubbed
fans of the neat and tidy Glasgow combo out of socket,
that's what. The result (the EP's title track) is like an
unnatural meeting between Texas, Tarnation, and a little
monkey with a new organ. The three other songs are no better
than those on Dog on Wheels, the previous EP, no, there's no
The State I Am In nor blatant tributes to Love, bbut a track
like A Century of Elvis - spoken word and cotton backing
vocals- makes it obligatory to give them a vote of
confidence and close your eyes and wish that If You're
Feeling Sinister doesn't remain just a pretty seasonal
curiosity.

By Carlos Calvo (which means Charles Baldy)

There, that's a bit more controversial, isn't it? I still
haven't heard the song in question, so I can't really
comment. But I'm all for Monica Queen.

Peter

PS: It's a bit quiet isn't it? Is it a bank holiday or
something?
