Winner – Belle And Sebastian – The only time I saw em live was at the tiny Supper Club and it felt like there was more people on stage then there wasin the audience. They don't tour nearly as often as a band that informs every melody shoegaze has ever thought up, should. So the news that they are back on tour (Playing Celebrate Brooklyn at Prospect Park) is tidings of great joy. Yo La Tengo are opening.
Loser – Mindy McCready – I don't even know if loser is the word. One guy beat her nearly to death, another guy killed himself, and that was just the father of her kids. What a terrifying life -she must have been thinking, "What the hell was that all about?". Capped by mealy mouthed scumbag, ex-lover, Roger Clemens terrible "I knew her a little…" post-mortem. Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night.
