Sinister: Re:Belle & Sebastian cover songs

[William Eshmade]

I thought it might be interesting to note that covering of Smiths songs by
the band
is not such a far fetched idea. 
When I recently had the chance to listen to the band soundchecking in
Colchester , Stuart soundchecked his vocals with 'Cementary Gates' by The
Smiths. 

On a different point:
Although as everybody else I am a major B&S fan I would like to hear other
peoples views on the disorganisation of the gigs, sound wise. There was a
recent comment in this months Q magazine with although was a bit cruel was
to the point. Paraphrased it was that the band veered from beautiful and
sensitive to chaotic (organsiation wise). After sitting through their 4-5
hour sound check at Colchester (which was at times fanatsic at other
infuriating) I wondered if they were a bit too unorganised? The trouble
also being at the concerts themselves they seem to spend an age getting
ready for the next song not helped when they contantly change instruments
(although this is a very good virutostic thing ((I knew my music degree
would come in handy one day!!)).
Any opnions?
