During the first few weeks of all of this Hal Hartley hubbub, I kept thinking Hal Hartley was Hal Lindsey. For those of you who might not know, Hal Lindsey is is the writer obsessed with the Book of Revelations and our impending doom. I spent about a week trying to figure out why Belle & Sebastian would associate with Hal Lindsey. Have they joined a cult? Thankfully, a sinister post referred me to the IMDb and I realized everyone was talking about Hal Hartley (and my fears were assuaged). I don't want to know what my mental state is 40 years from now. I think classifying people into sub-cultures is analogous to the "evil corporation" who has to classify their customers through "targeted marketing." So, what's up with the "Interminable Three Chord Break" in the Modern Rock Song sleeve? I haven't seen any mention of it in the archives. It probably was discussed during a flurry of posts about oxymorons in Belle & Sebastian songs, or something like that.
