Sinister: 10 Crap but "credible" Scottish Bands

[debbie]

well, i've never been any good at explaining what it is i like about bands,
so as usual it has all deteriorated into haircuts, beards and funny names,
ah well...

Urusei Yatsura - are ace. have seen them several times live and can't see
what you hate about them. 'Big tall guy' Fergus has a class haircut and is
a honey. except from when he hit me on the head with a mic stand. but
that's just what i think... 

Arab Strap - ok, so they are a bit overrated, i'll give you that. but some
of their stuff is pretty class, after it gets going. although they do have
beards. which is crap.

 Idlewild - haven't seen them live, but on record they are great and shouty
and loud and make great jump-up-and-down-and-be-sick to records. and they
have funny names. Roddy Woomble hehehe.

BMX Bandits - Are you sure they are actually 'credible'? i've yet to meet
someone who likes the BMX Bandits. They seem to be 'famous' (and i use the
term loosely) only for knowing Teenage Fanclub and for Duglas being
Radcliffe's Scottish correspondant for a while. The only song i remember of
theirs is that one a couple of years ago where he sounds exactly like
kermit the frog. it was quite nice, actually...

The Secret Goldfish - their cover of 'Come As You Are' was GORGEOUS. I
think they're lovely. And Graham Lironi's book 'The Bowels of Christ' is
dead good. everyone should read it. NOW!

Mogwai - Sonic Youth aren't irritating. they're class. as are Mogwai. Tho i
still haven't heard the new single. Ah well.

Bis- yeah, you're right. they're shite.

ps: though they all pale into insignificance compared to the might of
BERNARD BUTLER. but you already knew that...
