my unwitty, uneloquent 2 cents:
st. etienne are quite pleasant synth-pop type stuff...  very 
sophisticated in a sugary sort of way...  in my opinion, they have 
little to do with belle and sebastian, but when i first heard them, i 
thought they sounded like a synthier (see what i mean with the 
"uneloquent" ---  which, come to think of it, is an even less eloquent 
construction) version of prefab sprout.   i have been surprised not to 
hear any references to prefab sprout in these parts.  in my opinion they 
are the greatest pop band of all time and not entirely unlike belle and 
sebastian...  please berate me if you feel the need...
by the way...  does anyone know what supper club's policy is regarding 
photo-taking?  i just got a nifty old zoom lens and would feel sad if a) 
i didn't use it to take photos at the show or b) got kicked out of the 
show for using it.   anyone know much about old zoom lenses?  when i use 
my camera's light meter, i get very overexposed pictures with it...  
easily corrected, but distressing nonetheless...
ok, i'm done...  everyone have a pleasant thursday....
