Tone support is for nasty bullies. -- Tom (ebro...), March 26th, 2003.
What on earth is Tone Support, and why did I not ask this question 2.5 years ago?

It is a pity I woke up at 3 this morning.

I trust that they have reached the appropriate copyright agreements.
Were you planning to smash a Pimm's Bar, I would not advise doing so with Eno.
Which in itself would be a pity, but health and safety regulations exist for good reasons.
Perhaps one day I will think of one.

But if you were watching Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid for the first time, and the song was on the soundtrack, wouldn't you enjoy it?
Maybe not.

"It's nice when shuffle brings the odd song in."
But this could be a distinct possibility at some point in the future.

As for Dear Catastrophe Waitress, I found I liked it a lot more after I got into the habit of starting it on Track 3. (Occasionally Track 2, but this is more out of a misguided sense of completism than anything else.)
Also opposed to this smashing plan -- Eno takes Pimm's bars by strategy.

Nevermind.

I did not smash up the Pimms Bar, as it was probably the most pleasant spot on the site, apart from the mingling cacophonies.
The Strokes were so RUBBISH!
The Raconteurs were so RUBBISH!
I liked Super Furry Animals, but their big top was full up. I would like to go and see them properly one day.

Often referred to as the 'greatest Scottish band ever', Belle & Sebastian have enjoyed critical success throughout their career. Currently on hiatus - with no plans to record any new material in the near future - the band present 'The BBC Sessions', which features tracks from the time of their formation in 1996 right up until 2001. The sessions also contain the group's last recordings with departed cellist Isobel Campbell.
ohhhh god yes more tracks with isobel pleeeeeeeease

I still love everything prior to that last album which I hate.

that's silly

Stopping at 01 means a distinct lack of them doing "The 12 Days of Christmas" on Peel in December 02. Lame.

I like B&S aiight
Often referred to as what? By whom? Christ, these people's egos know no bounds.
Still: on hiatus, eh? Small mercies.

Aereogramme
lol 2004
― Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Sunday, 9 November 2008 23:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I'd still consider voting Aereogramme now.
― NOW WITH ADDED CAPS (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 9 November 2008 23:47 (fifteen years ago) link
Where was that from, anyway?
The List/King Tuts' Wah Wah Club/Orange joint promotion, 2005.
― Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Sunday, 9 November 2008 23:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I dunno, who are meant to "canonically" be the best Scottish band ever then? Because, Sensational Alex Harvey Band aside, I probably _would_ vote for B&S.
― Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Sunday, 9 November 2008 23:49 (fifteen years ago) link
Er, dunno. Just not B&S, that's all ;)
― NOW WITH ADDED CAPS (grimly fiendish), Sunday, 9 November 2008 23:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually, Yatsura were great as well. I'll vote for them. They would have been better if they were from Camden though.

well it's clearly spare snare

This is straight up madness, as The Life Pursuit was pretty much the only thing by B&S worth hearing since If You're Feeling Sinister.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 9 November 2008 23:58 (fifteen years ago) link
The Life Pursuit was pretty much the only thing by B&S worth hearing since If You're Feeling Sinister.
you just aren't down with that orchestral pop, THATs the true madness. it's beautiful, imo

The blurb was from the HMV website, folks.

You could remove the word "Scottish" from there and you'd get no argument from me.

wit & sebastian
― ban or astroban? (Curt1s Stephens), Monday, 10 November 2008 01:16 (fifteen years ago) link
it just strikes me as kind of ummmmmm that a band as derivative as Belle & Sebastian would be championed as the best specimen of anything
― ban or astroban? (Curt1s Stephens), Monday, 10 November 2008 01:17 (fifteen years ago) link
is there anyone ever who didnt like If You're Feeling Sinister?
― Kevin Keller, Monday, 10 November 2008 01:18 (fifteen years ago) link
yes kevin, there are many people in this world who don't like that album
― thereminimum chips (electricsound), Monday, 10 November 2008 01:29 (fifteen years ago) link
Probably most people, if you could play it for every person in the world.
― funky president (call all destroyer), Monday, 10 November 2008 01:30 (fifteen years ago) link
that's a good point
― Kevin Keller, Monday, 10 November 2008 01:31 (fifteen years ago) link
That list of the best Scottish band upthread is a peyle of shyte, fer fooks sake. No BMX Bandits, no cred.
― Sugar hiccup, Makes a pig soar and swoon (Pillbox), Monday, 10 November 2008 01:41 (fifteen years ago) link
surely most people would like the eps more than sinister
― psychgawsple, Monday, 10 November 2008 01:48 (fifteen years ago) link
or the life pursuit
― psychgawsple, Monday, 10 November 2008 01:49 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually, I've found the best B&S album to play to someone whose never heard them is Dear Catastrophe Waitress.
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 10 November 2008 01:54 (fifteen years ago) link
That's because Dear Catastrophe Waitress is easily their very best album. (ducks & runs..)
