The other day, I was thinking of the band Low. Two of the group members are lds (mormons) and I was wondering if this helps their fan base any. I remember playing a Belle and Sebastian album for an lds friend and some of her (out of ten) siblings who were in the room. Just think about it - you convert one mormon friend and their family and BOOM! the entire state of Idaho can be counted as fans. On Sunday, I talked to this friend for the first time in three years and it seems as if she just played some Belle and Sebby to her three year old niece who fell in love with it. The little lass now toddles around saying, "I wove Bell and Thebathin! Der muh fafite!" Isn't that the cutest story? Yeah, it made me gag too. I second Ree for calling for more people to report back. I was virtually chatreuse with envy to hear that Columbus got Slow Graffitti, Photo Jenny (swoon!), AND Stay Loose. I have never wished to be in Ohio before in my life!! Oh, the things Belle & Sebastian will do to a girl. Also, this surfer tune which other reporters back have mentioned as being called "Passion Fruit" is the same one announced as Mick Cooke's baby at the Atlanta show. Wasn't he darling and all beamy while playing it? I was quite embarassed to see that Monsieur Gay Jay had printed out my setlist and notes to the list as they're not things I would have normally made public. It seems as if I might have messed up some too. Thus, for the record it seems as if the Durham set list really went something like this: Instrumental Introduction Expectations Step into My Office, Baby Wrapped Up in Books Slow Graffiti I'm a Cuckoo Women's Realm Traveling Light Beautiful A Summer Wasting Like Dylan in the Movies The Stars of Track and Field Dirty Dream Number Two Asleep on a Sunbeam Piazza, New York Catcher Dear Catastrophe Waitress Judy and the Dream of Horses Roy Walker Sleep the Clock Around Encore: You're Just a Baby That's courtsey of Sanders who pointed out that I had forgotten "Summer Wasting". I don't know Sanders but his e-mail looks as if it's coming from detox.com Funny, that I trust him, yes? xo, Ll PS - Can the two Kevins and Idleberry please post again soon. It'd make a poor bookshop girl's day. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Shopping upgraded for the holidays!
