i suppose that this is an obvious e-mail, but i just need to express my utter ecstacy after having seen Belle and Sebastian for the first time last night. . . . . . . . and now that i've done that, it was nice to meet you all. what a bunch of kindly young folks we are. it was lazy line painter jane that did me in. i missed the album version for its vocal variety, but the live energy more than compensated. they just gave up on being modest and thrust their rock 'n' roll crotches into our faces. it was lovely. and the mere idea of belle and sebastian covering pixies makes me go weak in the knees, regardless of whether or not that brave girl knew the words. i was amazed at the lights too. i was expecting something not so, i guess psychedelic is the right word. they certainly showed up Oysterhead. my friend spencer and i had the perfect come-down too. once we got home, we sat in my basement drinking genesee reds and watching the french-import of "I Can't Sleep" (which comes with my reccomendations. and while we're on movies, "the man who wasn't there" now steals the title of "joey's favorite coen brothers movie" from the big lebowski, so give that a peak too.) anyway, "You can't come on my parade." (or something to that effect) -Lambchop toodles, joey ps: i have to say though, the show really made me hate boston audiences. all you could hear was people yelling for the people dancing to sit down. it's like we were just sitting there with our arms crossed demanding to be entertained but refusing to even clap. i think that, towards the end, more and more people got that right feeling and couldn't fight the urge to stop bitching and dance; but overall, i don't think we earned more than that one song encore. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
