<BR>four tracks from the sublime Scots odd-bods - OUT MONDAY
<P>Is it true ? MONDAY ????? Really ????</BLOCKQUOTE>
I like that one - "sublime Scots odd-bods"
<P>Another problematic record is/was <I>Drum</I> by Hugo Largo. You had
to play it over and over again, because it seemed like there was nothing
else like it around at the time.
<P>As for cowboys casting aspersions on Belle and Sebastian's sexuality,
don't worry. Culture Club had the same trouble during their guest appearance
on <I>The A -Team</I>. Boy George won the cowboys over by helping to solve
a scam in which some evil villains were stealing all their savings and
blaming it on Mister T and company. By the end of the programme Boy George
had all the cowboys eating out of the palm of his delicately manicured
hand.
<P>It would be great if Belle and Sebastian were on <I>Taggart</I>, but
I think he's dead now. I can just see it now.....Isobel's teddy bear is
the only witness to a heinous crime on the Forth and Clyde Canal towpath...the
hapless drummer inadvertently stumbles across a suitcase full of wacky
baccy in Kelvigrove Park...leading to the keyboard player's uncovering
of an indie-pop and anorak smut peddling ring operating out of a top floor
Oakfield Avenue bedsit...
