Hi Kids, Well.... it's all over. Anticipation replaced by memories. Show #2 was *almost* as good as the first one. After neglecting to play anything from the Sinister LP the first night, they busted out THREE songs from it last night. And their cover of "Creeque Alley" by The Mamas & The Papas was definately the highlight for me. If you don't know the song, find it & listen to it, then imagine B&S doing it, smiling, trading verses. Magical. Setlist: Sleep The Clock Around I Know Where The Summer Goes The Boy With The Arab Strap Family Tree Legal Man Simple Things Theres Too Much Love Womens Realm The Wrong Girl Jonathan David The Magic of a Kind Word Dog On Wheels Fox In The Snow If Youre Feeling Sinister Creeque Alley (The Mamas & The Papas) Dirty Dream #2 Dont Leave The Light On Baby Like Dylan In The Movies If i've forgotten any, let me know. Or we could ask our loveable little Rachel Cornflake, who was at the very frontest front row, peering up Isobel's dress. Maybe she stole a setlist. Anyway, seeing the band changes everything. To put some faces to the music really makes it even more personal. Stevie is the *BEST*. I *love* Stevie. He's so damn cute, and when he sings without his guitar (as in Jonathan David) he looks so shy & slightly awkward. The nearest I can explain is: Stuart is Ferris Bueller, and Stevie is his friend Cameron. And the trumpet sounded perfect. It was amazing really, listening to the trumpet: every note sounded exactly like it came right off the record. I guess there's only so many sounds a trumpet can make, but it sounded perfect. And Sarah really does look like a little kid, I thought she was Isobel's niece or something, that it was some kind of "take your daughter to work" day, but i wish she sang "Waiting For The Moon To Rise" and had her moment in the spotlight. And Isobel's voice, I used to think there was a certain amount of studio trickery to make it sound so sweet & sugary, but there it is in person, man..... there it is. Breathy and sticky, like a warm erotic secret whispered in your ear by the hot breath of a lover. Wonderful. I hope everyone got to meet Stuart after the show. He's nicer than you can imagine. And if anyone knows the girl who got pulled onstage to sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", or know someone who knows her, I *might* have some photos of her up there. And at the end of the evening, Stuart promised us that he'd be back soon, "It won't take us another 6 years." So that's reassuring. Although a year is still a long time in pop music.
