hello. this is my first post in several months . . . you probably don't
remember me, but this was in last week's new yorker magazine:

"looper is the brainchild of belle and sebastian bassist stuart david, his
visual-artist wife, karn, and his photographer brother, guitarist ronnie
black. stuart sings and speaks with a soft scottish lilt, and the group's
low-fi songs are infused with the sounds of children cackling, typewriter
keys clicking, andother odd sounds. their performances are backed by
karn's homespun video images of toy scooterw, tree houses, and
spaceships. the net effect is a childlike exuberance that's still enver
far from the cruelty of youth, a prime example of which is the lovely
ballad "burning flies".

i'll shut up now,
