Sinister: bloody thieves!

[Robin Stout]

Hey kids!

	You know, I've just realised how much it gets on my tits when people 
say how one band sounds like another. I suppose it's okay for 
sweetpaper sized reviews when you just have to sum someone up but 
I think the thing I listen for in a band is the bit that makes them 
different, not the same and it's hard to capture this. Like trying 
to catch a frog in a bag. I suppose I do it myself though, but I 
always feel a bit ham-fisted and lazy making comparisons. So I've 
been sitting here and trying to work out how to sum up Belle and 
Sebastian without making references to Nick Drake or Felt or anyone, 
and it's difficult not to. I suppose that's why people do it. The 
best I could come up with is folk-pop-skiffle. A friend of mine calls 
it school piano music, which I think is pretty accurate.
	Oh dear, I'm bored and now I'm afraid I'm being boring so I'll go. I 
think I'll have a cheese sandwich. Mmmm...

Bye
