Hello! So, last night I saw a little band called Belle and Sebastian. Here is what they played: Sleep the Clock Around Dirty Dream #2 Waking Up to Us Seeing Other People Wandering Alone If You're Feeling Sinister My Wandering Days Are Over Seymour Stein The Model Texarkana Baby (cover) Me and the Major The Boy with the Arab Strap Fox in the Snow The State That I'm In Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying There's Too Much Love The Wrong Girl The Lonliness of a Middle Distance Runner Legal Man So You Want to Be a Rock N Roll Star (cover) The show was amazing. I had never seen B&S before, and they exceeded all of my expectations, which were rather high to begin with. Stuart was an excellent frontman - he was happy, talkative, and funny. He did a lot of dancing and bouncing about. There was a lot of banter onstage amongst the band as well as with the audience. Stuart invited an audience member to speak the "In a town so small..." part from "Dirty Dream #2" - probably because Isobel wasn't there. He also invited two people onstage to dance (one was the same guy as the I mentioned above). There was much wearing of cowboy hats by the band and the string section, and talk of Texas, heat, and skinnydipping (apparently Mick had done a little of that the night before). The band sounded good and were plenty loud, at least up at the front. My friends and I were about six or eight feet from the stage, and the crowd were polite and not pushy - always a plus!! Afterwards, we tried to get a setlist and were unsuccessful, though my friend Victor managed to snag Stuart's towel. Anyway, I took a whole roll of film, and I hope the pictures come out. All in all, it was one of the best (if not the best) shows I've ever attended!!! OK must stop gushing and go to work.
