It wasn’t so much belle and Sebastian that was peak lamacq, more his dogged determination in hauling the 90s out of its grave and parading it in front of listeners like some sort of macabre puppet of decaying memories. I could imagine him furiously onanising as listeners tell him about a t-shirt they bought at a Shed Seven gig once and how they still have it somewhere or maybe an ex girlfriend took it. Either way it was their favourite gig and.... he’s done, right across the sleeve of an Idles vinyl promo.
I turn on 6 Music to see what peak Lamacq sounds like and he's playing album I worked on 25 years ago.
