Oh please! Nobody knows them? Belle and Sebastian are fairly (to say the least)
popular in Greece actually. For starters, they've been getting lots of airplay
eversince "Dog On Wheels" came out and "Le Pastie" used to be a huge hit at
indie clubs about a year and a half ago. Thankfully, "Dirty Dream #2" is now
among the few nice things you can listen to at an ordinary night @ Plan B (local
indie club)

No, I don't think it's a coincidence. In my humble opinion, Belle and Sebastian
have a strong affinity with lighter '60s sounds. Mind you, that doesn't mean
that they cannot appeal to non-'60s fans. They can appeal to everyone actually,
methinks . . .

By the way, YES, France Gall's real name really *is* Isabelle, Lesley-Jo. Funny
eh.
