Sinister: How many times can you listen to a Belle and Sebastian record?
Before you start to get sick of it that is? Nick's comment that he could only watch a Simpsons episode three or four times before he gets sick of it reminded me that my friends have been telling me lately that they have burned themselves out on Belle and Sebastian (even though they are looking forward to the Tigermilk re-release.) So what about you guys? Have any of you had to swear off Belle and Sebastian for a while because you listened to it to much? Okay now that that's out of the way, I would like to say that while I have at times stopped listening to Belle and Sebastian, there are certain episodes of the Simpsons I could watch over and over again. Recent favorites include the episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian, the fat Homer episode, and the episode where Troy McClure marries Selma (you can not beat Planet of the Apes the Musical) I long to see the Homer sexual harrassment episode and the Simpson's take off of Thelma and Louise (where Homer believes that the ballet is a bear in a Fez smooshed into a tiny car riding around a circus tent. The best bit of this joke is that later when he tells Lenny and Carl that he is going to the ballet with Marge, Lenny says "Oh, You're going to see the bear in the car?") Okay, I'll stop crying now.

I find if I listen to something continuously for months and never stop listening to it, I will never get tired of it (currently LLPJ, but used to be MBV's Loveless and Sloan's Twice Removed). But once I STOP listening to it and start listening to something else, I can never go back to the original recording with the same emotions and attachment. :( I've found this with with IYFS and TBWTAS. They're still fun to listen to, but I can no longer get lost in the songs completely.

Oh, good lord, I was laughing so hard at the Planet of the Apes musical. Once the apes started to breakdance I completely lost it. Ooh, ooh, I've got one of those daily Homerisms calendar on my desk and today's Homer quote is, "That's fine for you, Marge. But I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I'm lucky if I can find half an hour a week in which to get funky. I've got to get out of this rut and back into the groove!" I saw A Bout De Souffle (Breathless) this weekend and marvelled at Jean Seberg's screen presence (and her beauty). But I was later disheartened when I found out she later committed suicide and didn't have a very happy life. Isn't it quite sad to find out how fragile our heroes can be? I picked up a biography on her and have started reading and I just know it's gonna get sad later on... Cheers, all.
