Sinister: radio song

[Cassell Professional Publishing]

My sweet girlfriend, who's working at home because of the stress, just left
me a voicemail message of the title track playing on Jo Wiley. Even down a
dodgy phoneline, this song sounds *amazing* on the radio!

Mentioning the forthcoming appearance of Slow Graffiti on that soundtrack
album to a friend last night, he said:

That's cool!

I said:

Is it?

He said:

Of course - it means more people will hear Belle and Sebastian.

Which sent me into a bit of a spin. Now I don't mind thousands of people
buying the new record, because they'll be buying a truly wonderful thing
which is all B and S. But I feel worried about Slow Graffiti being on the
same CD as (wild guess) Sleeper, or the Bluetones, or whatever other crap
they package together.

I know I'm being a snob, but isn't anyone else a bit perplexed by this? It
doesn't seem to fit easily with the band's control-freak philosophy.

One more thing: could someone do me a tape of Elliott Smith? I'll make a
lovely tape for you in return. Thanks.

Take care,

DAVID
