Belle and SebastianYou know you're listening to a Belle and Sebastian song as soon as you hear one. Whether "make a new cult every day to suit your affairs" or "on a bustop in the town 'we rule the school'" there's alway a combination of singing and songwriting that makes each song distinctively beautiful. Okay, I think I'm getting a bit carried away, and for those of you who've come here purely because you love Belle and Sebastian as much as I do, there's no need to try and convert you. This site is still very much under construction and any A HREF="gemery@cygnus.uwa.edu.au">input would be very welcome. The picture of the lovely Stuart you see on the left comes courtesy of another site (and a good one too). The owner of the site said that the photos could be used with her permission but the email address I had didn't work so if she's looking at this page thinking I stole her pictures, please contact me.
For a closer look at the band, plus a few photos, have a look here. This is a (hopefully) petty decent collection of articles/interviews (and one comic strip) ... no, no I haven't put myself out copying them out and dangerously infringing who knows how many copyright laws but these are mostly just links to places where these gems already appear.
