Sinister: I love your love action

[robin stout]

Hello.

I often think I can't join in much with musical debates because I don't know 
much, but today I’ll have a go.

Musical taste's a funny thing isn't it? I don't often get into discussions 
about whether one song's better than another or one band better than another 
because it's not a terribly scientific thing. You like something or you 
don't. You can explain why you like something, but unless someone else feels 
what it makes you feel they're not going to get it. Well, Joe's made me 
realise that "toss" wasn’t a hugely helpful way to describe Legal Man, so I 
think I should say some more.

I think most people on this list have had their "Oh dear, they've really 
lost it this time" moment with one record or another. Idleberry thought it 
about the latest single, others have said it before, especially with Fold 
Your Hands... A lot have left this list because of it. Well my moment was 
Legal Man. I tried to like it at first, but it just wasn't going to happen. 
I'm not saying it's a dreadful song, but it's the fact that they released it 
as their first single and played it on Top of the Pops and it's now the only 
B+S song you're likely to hear in indie clubs that I don't like. Those 
things should have happened to another song. It's become like Common People 
is to Pulp, I suppose, but Common People's a great song too. I like the last 
two singles a lot more, though. I think they're a different band these days, 
but they're still pretty groovy.

On the subject of L P I think I must be missing something. I've spoken to a 
few people who think the album's great. So I'll keep listening to it and see 
if it hits me. At the moment I just don't think it's so charming as their 
other stuff.

The list smut-o-meter’s almost bursting with sauce at the moment. Maybe it’s 
because of all these long nights we’re having.

Cripes!

Casarotto (the smut-o-meter creaks and whimpers at the sound of that name) 
saw "a pair of blue tits outside my window..." Lucky you, Mark, but you know 
it’s her own fault, she really should have been wearing a vest at this time 
of year...

No, but he has a big Kenwood Chef on the back seat in case he fancies some 
mashed potato.

Er, I think I’ll just go away now.


By the way, Belle and Sebastian have a new album out soon. I’m quite excited 
about this, aren’t you?
