No Rock And Roll Fun

IS THIS JUST FANTASY?: Never mind the claims that the new Belle and Sebastian single is the "indie Bohemian Rhapsody", although we are sure it'll be just as over-rated, yea, even unto the point where you start to hate it because everyone signs up to the "it's quite good" line like front benchers falling behind the party line, nor that it's supported by a track created by "the band just jamming", what's really interesting about the release is it's coming weighted down with multimedia goodies - a video game, a remix, and other gubbins like that. A video game? It's like the Amish launching a Mr. Whippy machine - however benign the product, it's never going to feel quite right.
