It's rare that you speak to someone at the bus stop, much beyond, 'Do you have the right time?' or 'Has the 7 been past yet?', but I am here to try to break the ice a little. Hiya. For those who are here by accident - this is my Bus Stop. I drink a lot of tea, ride a lot of buses, and write a zine about Belle & Sebastian. Please don't let that frighten you - I promise you I'm not the type of fan who wants to drink Stuart Murdoch's bath water. Mine's a vodka and coke.
B&S are so much in my blood now that I hardly ever listen to them anymore, though I still love them dearly. At the moment I'm totally addicted to my Kirsty MacColl albums, particularly the Cuban beats and pithy lyrics of 'Tropical Brainstorm'.
If you have anywhere at all in your heart for country music you MUST get hold of Laura Cantrell's album, 'Not The Tremblin' Kind'. Best to speak to the lovely people at Shoeshine. I have Monie Love's 'Born 2 B.R.E.E.D.' and Michelle Gayle's 'Sweetness', 49p each from the charity shop, and after watching the 1981 Top 10 on Channel 4 last week, I actually found myself looking up Shakin' Stevens albums on Amazon...a man who has more for denim than the whole of B*witched put together.
