Being new to the list, and recently educated on the ranks that don't care for dear diary posts, I'll keep it short and sweet
If StuD and Isobel managed to release all their creative juices ivia their side projects then they aren't going to feel the need to shove their stuff on a new B&S album and thus we get a proper good old StuM album (ok and a little from stevie but we can't complain). I'd just like to make the point that I don't think the other 2 are bad (in fact what I've heard from both of the is pretty good, Columbo's car by looper is damn fine) but I love the way that tigermilk and sinister flow in a way that TBWTAS doesn't just because the first 2 albums are just StuM.
I agree totally! Actually, my husband likes TBWTAS way better, he thinks it's a good evolution, but I don't know...Sinister gives me a dreamy, nirvana-like feeling attained previously only by U2's "promenade" and a handful of other songs by Flying Saucer Attack and Jason Spaceman's bands (or other less-than-perfect perscriptions). If life were perfect, StuM would music me to sleep every night. I think I'm the only person here who could talk about Belle and Sebastian non-stop. Not that I mind the off-topic stuff...some of it is very entertaining (most of it isn't). I just like talking about, y'know...*them*. ~Reid Actually, I've found most of the topics to be educational in one way or another. Stuck in Heartland, USA, it's not exactly possible to pop on over to Barcelona's gothic zona for the weekend. But I must say I enjoy the B&S posts the most, keep them coming.
