Another week, another case for JUDGE POP. This time he's investigating an outbreak of TWEE on the streets of MEGA CITY POP. The good Judge has his suspects - Belle And Sebastian, ten-year indie pop veterans who regularly turn up high on the Poptimists last.fm charts. Are they a credit to pop - or a menace?

[Poll #965057]

If Belle And Sebastian are cubed, they will join PATRICK WOLF, who was narrowly found guilty last time the good Judge's services were called upon.

I own two records by B&S - Tigermilk and the "I'm A Cuckoo" CD single.

I wouldn't part with them (or with "Lazy Line Painter Jane" if I owned that, which I don't). But I still voted to send them down. They have no place on Poptimists. Confine them to [livejournal.com profile] indieguilt innit.

FAKE Judge more like!

I thought this was supposed to be about the Young Persons Music, surely even the youngest B&S fans are into their mid-20s now?

I hate them as you all know, for all the most obvious reasons. And yet so many people I like seem to love them.

If they'd split up after their first two albums and their EPs, they'd be free to go. As it is, they have become most criminal.

Great things by Belle and Sebastien:
'Get me away from here I'm dying' (or whatever it's called)

Bad things by Belle and Sebastien:
Nearly everything else

Really fvcking horrifically awful things by Belle and Sebastien:
Funny Little Frog -AARGH. [No I have not confused it with Lord Crazy of Frog, it is just really really bad all by itself. :(]

Sometimes I can deal with twee but very rarely and it generally requires a certain not killing my ears aspect. My boyfriend tells me that I listen to a lot of twee music, however, so maybe I am just in denial.

I think I've given the thumbs down to everyone who's gone before Judge Pop so far!
