    I have placed If Your Feeling Sinister in my top 5 indie releases in the past decade. absolutely love it.

    my favorite tune they do though is I'm Waking Up to Us off the EP of the same name. It is a perfect pop song. perfect.

    I can't believe I like them as much as I do since they sound nothing like anything I own. It is just beautifully orchestrated music.

    I have pretty much everything by them except for that Storytelling soundtrack...(I Believe In Travellin' Light) is my current favourite B & S song.

    Is it just me, or is this band named after a cartoon from the 80s?

    No, it's not just you, the band is named after that cartoon... in fact they talked to the creator of the cartoon to let them use the name.

    I am a fan. A friend of mine went to NY (B&S is his fav band)on the weekend to see them and Beck. He said their set was good but they had some serious sound problems because they didn't have their regular crew. Check out "I'm Waking Up To Us " for the song "I Love My Car"

    Cool.. yeah it was a good cartoon. Kind of heavy on the emotion for kiddies though..

    Everything is very good to awsome by Belle and Sebastian. Check out "Lazy Line Painter Jane" the song. Probably their most rocking.

    Barry: Holy shite. What the fuck is that?
    Dick: It's the new Belle and Sebastian...
    Rob: It's a record we've been listening to and enjoying, Barry.
    Barry: Well, that's unfortunate, because it sucks ass.


    Sorry, I couldn't resist it. Actually, I've never even heard Belle and Sebastian, I just love that scene in High Fidelity.

    This will sound snobbish, but I think people who like Belle and Sebastian have excellent taste, and for those who don't like them, get some taste.

    I'm just listening to their new album right now, and this is georgeous stuff, much following the steps of their previous, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, they sound pretty fresh and it might be their most upbeat effort, I liked the single Funny Little Frog, but just wait to listen to the funky guitar of We're Sleepy Heads. Really enjoyable.

    good to know. I just picked up the live version of If Your Feeling Sinister. It is amazing they were able to play that live. It sounds fantastic.

    I'm a cuckoo is my favorite -- i didn't like them at all on first listening to them, but occassionally i'm in a certain mood and i like some of their stuff while i'm in that mood.

    for a while i was obsessed with "step into my office baby"...i saw it on some random film clip show and was instantly drawn to it......

    the only album i have of theirs is "fold your hands child you walk like a peasant"..........but "S.I.M.O.B" is still my fave track of theirs.

    not many ppl have heard of them, i tend to find.
