Sinister: tangents are missed

[keith mclachlan]

i think that everyone(mick and pf penned the only
missives i read) is missing the point when it comes to
the belle and sebastian v. magnetic fields piece on
tangents.  tangents is the most wonderful site on the
web and in my eyes can do no wrong and this is because
it is a fanzine, highly sophisticated and literate but
still filled mainly with highly emotional thoughts of
passionate fans.  mick attacked it as a critical piece
with arguments against its logic but alistair was once
likely as big or bigger a fan of b&s as anyone here
has been, for me what he succeeds in is explaining his
feelings instead of dictating his "truths" as is often
done on "objective" sites.  AT happens to be obsessed
with stephin merrit at the moment, this is the point
of the article and surely not to diminish belle and
sebastian for anyone else.  i think i might share a
lot of his opinions on pop democracy but maybe i think
, currently, that i harbour stronger feelings for
belle and sebastian than he does.  i email alistair
and thank him for his website and beg him to write the
article about rodney allen he once hinted about and
truly if there were more people like him i would be so
much happier.
