we all this talk of band reforming can't we have a campaign for the original line up of Belle and sebastian to reform

[crashnburn]

obviouly that would be the holy grail the old belle and sebastian reforming and playing the hits with the newrer members for a one off glasto special. To be honest "is it wicked not to care" is my fave song ever. as we're not getting a stone roses reunion, id like to have some reunion fun.

Obvioulsly this is v unlikely but is their any chance of having belle and sebastian or even isobel campbell at glasto this year.

I've seen them go down like lead blowns at other outdoor events (hyde park and leeds) i know not everyone likes twee but i think at a place like glasto (where theres a much high proportion of belle and seb fans than any whwere else in the world) is ittoo much to ask for a slot high up on other stage or headlining the park

I saw B&S once. They were appalling. They can stay on hiatus.

Not a chance, they'll all on hiatus, stuart had a really decent track on the dark was the night comp. it's called another saturday. It's a really nice lazy afternoon track. That whole compilation is really f**king good really.

I doubt he'll tour any of his solo material though, he's doing some film soundtrack. I'd much rather Belle and Sebastian do the next ATP as a sort of Bowlie Weekender 2

I have seen belle and seb a load of times and i have enjoyed them each time as have mates with me. I presume your just not a fan of that sort of music not everybody like things to be so twee. also at must festivals thesheer twee ness put many people off , its hard to convert new followers when half the crowds walking off. but i don't think that would happen at glasto

[lovelessrapture]

The next ATP is the Christmas one, which is always noise/doom based. I'd love to see B&S play at that - they'd be too scared to take to the stage, and if you did you wouldn't be able to hear them through the ear shattering noise from the other stages

[lovelessrapture]

thanks for the info i'll get myself that comp , any idea what the film hes doing the soundtrack is ?

a 2nd bowlie would be cool i was a v poor student when it happended last time and couldn't go.

hopefully theres still a chance for belle to play

[crashnburn]

No I'm quite the fan of indie pop. Love Camera Obscura. Saw B&S indoors and they were really, really poor. Made the mistake of seeing them at a couple of festivals and they were even worse. I thought them mediocre on record but live they stank. Also I don't need friends to enjoy myself, I have my own brain, cheers.

[robith]

Yes because, Portishead are so doom/noise based (and the melvins aren't that noise-y). ATP is always a complete mix of everything, last christmas one had very little noise, the v the fans one in may has much more doom, with like Sleep playing and that.

And Belle & Sebastian are one of the best acts I've seen, they just seemed to be having fun and enjoying themselves, which is what alot of bands forgot about and just run through the motions every night.
