Well, when I we (me and bethey) saw them in Manchester in December, it was
my first ever gig!  Therefore, nothing will compare to them, if what you say
is true.  I do sort of understand how wonderful B&S now, I think.  Nothing
comes close to the (god I hate this word too) spiritual feeling that Belle &
Sebastian put inside me (apart from Arab Strap, but that's I different
feeling - B&S are about love and Arab Strap are about hate).  I see people
at school listening to things like Robbie Williams' Angels and saying it's a
really spiritual song and they can cry at it and I know that they are too
naive to understand that there is so much better out there, than some fat
melodramatic warbler who needs a bit of cash.  Anyway, if I don't realise
how good they are, I will do when they're gone.
