Sinister: top tens

[Mark Casarotto]

Why is it with Belle and Sebastian songs I find it much easier to work
out which ones I dislike most (obviously a relative term, simply meaning
that they're on a par with things like "Paint a Vulgar Picture", say, or
"Hell is round the corner"). I'm not sure I should say what pops my cork
least, except for the fact that A Century of Elvis annoys me - why
couldn't they have used a different tune? Unless of course it was
written before ...Fakers, in which case I still reckon it's a mistake.
Great story that it is, though.

I'm too frightened of vendettas to list their least inspired songs, but
if anyone wants to discuss this privately, feel free.

For the record, so that you don't think I'm a traitor, I absolutely love
and worship We Rule the School, String Bean Jean, Dog on Wheels,
Expectations, The State I am In, ...Sinister, Judy, Le Pastie, LLPJ,
and, oh, fuck it, everything they've ever done, bar none. So there.

I think I'm a bit confused today. Sorry everyone.
