I totally agree...It's hard for me to see it now, but when I first heard
Belle & Sebastian..that was my impression, completely. I got hooked, and
after a few listens I stopped thinking about it tho..but yeah....you're
right. My ex HATED Stuart's voice and once, when I was having the most
blissfull nap (you know..when you actually *fall* asleep with with that
lovely voice in your head...) he turned off the tape and it went !!SNAP!!
and I popped up and went "what duh?" and he said "I can't take it
anymore..that Ray Davies guy is making me violent.


This is why he is an EX. :)
