Sinister: Review of 'B&S: Just a Modern Rock Story'

[Ana Cristina Morais]

hey everyone,

found this today on http://www.bookslut.com/blog/

<<Anne Marson looks at Paul Whitelaw's Belle and Sebastian: Just a Modern Rock Story, and finds it interesting but way fanboyish. 

“Indie god”: It’s a term that Glaswegian arts writer Paul Whitelaw uses unashamedly in his new book, Belle and Sebastian: Just a Modern Rock Story. The biographer is clearly smitten with his subject — which is both blessing and curse. As its press demurely attests, Whitelaw’s book is “THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY OF BELLE AND SEBASTIAN — WRITTEN WITH THE BAND’S COOPERATION!” And that cooperation surely came courtesy of a couple of well-placed smooches.>>

and here's the link to the full article:
