Suicide - linked with Belle and Sebastian! Christ, that's smart, I suppose
perhaps the wobbly noise at the end of you made me forget my dreams - a bit,
only vaguely. Suicide are top though and their first record "Suicide" which
has just had it's price digitally remastered is still well worth getting a
hold of. But they're about as far away as you could possibly get from B+S,
in fact I think I may be responsible for this misconception in a way, a long
time ago there was a thread about what songs B+S should cover and I
submitted "Ghost Rider" by Suicide, sorry about that, it was a bit of a joke
really (if you could call something that isn't funny a 'joke'). Suicide are
very minimal, a drum machine, a monophonic synthesizer and delay on Alan
Vega's voice. B+S supported the Tindersticks a couple of years ago, and
they're totally great, well worth getting absolutely everything by too.
Stuart and Isobel are big Go Betweens fans, however I'm not one to comment
muchon them, I've only got one album however I'm sure someone else on the
list will be able to tell you what they're like. I'm not a huge fan.
Trembling blue stars I haven't heard, and I don't really plan to hear them
either, still again, loads of people on the list like them, so you might.

    I was in the pub last night with my old flatmate and he mentioned
something about some weird goings on with a certain large record company and
bankruptcy looming, which sounds a bit worrying from a lot of bands point of
view, imagine, the whole rooster dropped all at once!

Cheers,
    Keith.
