Watch out for the soup dragon

Never let it be said there's not a theme running through these posts. Take today, we have two songs, by two Scottish bands, both concerning the moon, and both from their respective first albums. Take it one step further you could also summon up the spectre of Belle and Sebastian as Looper features the talents of ex B&S member Stuart David and on the first Ballboy album "Club Anthems" which is a collection of their early singles they tried very hard at times to sound like them. Not a bad thing in my humble opinion and on their subsequent releases they've definitely developed their own sound. In the meantime Looper have been quietly releasing free MP3s on their website and hopefully one day will get around to a new album so I can stop having nightmares about their pants third release "The Snare"
