 hmm..i got into the smiths at about 14, mazzy star when i was 16, belle
 and sebastian at 17, i wonder where this takes me. maybe ill go the
 opposite way and start listening to rammstein at 20. oh god i hope not >>

	I used to be much more into punk and harder music in my early teens.. 
this softening of music as one gets older was thrown in my face the other day 
when a man came into my store looking for a white zombie video. We were 
talking about the band and he asked if i was a fan. I said, "erm, well, not 
really.. i like quieter music, mostly." He asked for specifics, and i told 
him "Belle and Sebastian". He looked very confused. I suspect he had no idea 
who they were. Like many Americans.
	 And in fact some Scots, too. A friend was talking to some comrades 
who were from Glasgow, and she asked them about our little popsters. They 
said the name "didn't ring a bell". Clever.

	Travis: thanks for the tape. I got it yesterday, and yours was sent 
out today.
