I was innocently watching the telly t'other night, when a trailer came on for a tinpot local TV show called The Music Show.
Next Tuesday they have a Belle and Sebastian special (sneak preview here), but it wasn't the band who grabbed my attention. No, that honour fell to the fans.
Now I've seen B&S live a few times, admittedly a while back now, but I don't remember a crowd quite like this. It was like a Convention for the Socially Inadequate, styled by Oxfam - full of people expressing their individuality by adopting the same retro stylings and "interesting" "dancing". How nice to see the accuracy of a cliche confirmed so well. It's cruel to mock, but sometimes one just can't help it...
