Sinister: i love my car

[marie elia]

a while back, keith watson spake thus:

> Glad to hear everyone's enjoying the new LP, "magical pop confection" that
> it apparently is; I haven't heard it yet cause it's not out yet but I'm sure
> I will enjoy it when it does come out. Does anyone have the DVD yet or does
> that take too long to download?

ouch!  that smarted.  so i refused to listen to the promo copy that had dropped in my
boyfriend's lap, waiting instead for the actual release.

on tuesday, october 7 (exactly five years and two days after kimmy first slipped me a
taped copy of IYFS and TBWTAS, which i listened to on the way to a liz phair show),
christiaan waltzed into borders (the original borders, mind you) and paid the
astronomical price of $16.99 for the new album.  this is the first b&s album i haven't
bought.  but you know, i still own it.  jointly.  anyway.

i listened to it while cleaning house the other night.  tuesday night.  it was alright. 
but then.

today, i grabbed it on my way out to drive to the grocery store.  and it hit me.  you
have to be Driving A Car to fall in love with this album.  it's even better if you're
driving down back roads in michigan with the amazing colors of turning leaves around you.
 i realized, this is the best fucking belle & sebastian album EVER.  i love every song. 
i am fucking thrilled.  i was so fucking thrilled that i drove past the grocery store and
hit said back roads, driving and driving, just to be driving with the window down and
stuart serenading me through the speakers.

it's like the best 60s/70s pop with better lyrics.  but with sweet old skool b&s moments.
 it's like the best of everything.  and stuart is Sassy, damn.  

note: i like how he pronounces "thin lizzy" like "thin lezzy" -- or so it sounds to me.  

keep the faith,
ree
xo.
