I was driving my friend Danielle home tonight after we went and saw Ever After, which is a cute movie even though Drew Barrymore can't act for beans, what does it matter, she's adorable. Where was I? Oh yes. I was driving Danielle home and had the radio tuned to the local alternative rock station, which is never particularly creative in it's playlist, but can get interesting sometimes. The song that was playing was absolutely beautiful, and the singer's voice sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. THEN Mr. DJ came on and let his friendly listeners know that the song was by Elliot Smith. So can somebody tell me SOMEthing about Elliot Smith, and recommend a good album of his to start out with? 'cause I totally fell in love with his voice in whatever song it was that was playing. There's MORE! After identifying the Smith song, Mr. DJ went on to say "And lastly this evening, here's a brand new one from the world of indie rock...Belle and Sebastian!" And I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG THAT HE PLAYED!!! Obviously it was off the new album. I was just so ECSTATIC to hear them on the RADIO!!! I turned it WAY up and drove the rest of the way home in absolute bliss :) But what song was it? There was something in the lyrics about dreaming...and...there was more...but I'm a loser and I forget. I can't even remember how the song went, I was just THRILLED that my local radio station was playing B&S! As it turns out, this indie showcase is on EVERY Friday night, so from now on I'll be tuning in to hopefully catch some more cool stuff. And to think, all this time I've been listening to Friday Night Fever: Disco Request! when this other fabulous show was being broadcast just a few stations away. Life is good.
