you want 'polished' 'professional' rock shows, go
see radiohead or whoever is dull enough to really
care.  not that i'd have liked to be electrocuted,
but hell, i can think of worse ways to die than at
a belle & sebastian show ;-)

you might think that if they have so much time on
their hands they should sort out live 'problems',
but frankly, i personally wonder why they should
bother.  you think the band have to do everything
to please the fans?  sod that... i'd much rather
they pleased themselves.  they have lives you
know, and that's what makes their songs so
special, because they don't spend all their time
living some wanky rock'n'roll dream... or worrying
about doing all the things 'right' so that they
become hugely famous... and that's a big part of
why i love the band so much.  that they DON'T do
all the things 'normally' and by the rock'n'roll
rules.

long may their 'incompetence' continue.

keep the faith,

duke
