Dear everyone, The unthinkable happened to me in this small Kentucky college-town (known to be home of Jim Varney- Ernest P. Warrel) that has put a huge smile on my face. I was walking down the halls of the fine arts building late last night, after a play. Suddenly, I heard Belle and Sebastian in my head, and I was happy that it was so crystal clear in my brain- it almost seemed real. Then I realized- SHIT MAN, THAT IS REAL!!! I ran down the hall like a crazed madman and found the room it was coming from and burst through the door and said, "GOOD GOD, WHO IS PLAYING BELLE AND SEBASTIAN?" Luckily, I didn't walk in on a classroom, but I did meet a friendly freshman boy listening to IYFS while editing a film reel. He had actually seen Belle and Sebastian in concert in New York. I was so flustered that I must have seemed like a crazed fanatic and scared him, but I hope I didn't. Finally, someone who is just like me in the same fucking town. He even has Tigermilk on vynil. Crazy, eh? Two questions: This kid didn't like Belle and Sebastian very much in concert. Do those of you who have seen the band in concert agree that they are not so good live? I know that people have issues with Isobel, but I'm wondering if anyone noticed on that much despised "Gentle Waves" album that she plays every instrument under the sun. So, I really am wondering (from the musicians)- can anybody tell me (technically speaking) how good Belle and Sebastian and/or Isobel is musically?
