So, yes, I'm obviously not really here, because I am incredibly busy and utterly miserable and freezingly cold and so so much else, but I just wanted to quickly nip in and say that I am officially back in love with Stuart. Cough. And Stevie. And Sarah. And Chris. And, well, all of them really. Cough. What a lovely noise they make, even whilst coughing a lot and particularly when shadow-boxing dancing and playing the recorder. I can even, just about, forgive them for the, um, Norah Jones 'thing'. Sigh. Weep. They didn't play the song below tonight, but they did play it last night, see? I tell you, nights like this, you miss those people who appear to be both far away from you and, ironically, quite close to you like - well, like you just can't believe. Although, of course, Stuart can believe. He used to write about it a lot. When he was just a wee boy making albums about everything but love.

Belle and Sebastian - 'Like Dylan in the movies' (live at Glasgow Barrowlands, 19-12-10) (5.07)

You can buy the new album here. Cough. A free and full live stream of the third and final Barrowlands show, on 21-12-10, is being broadcast via here (NPR). Cough.

Can't help but agree. Both of those tracks worked really well in the live setting. It was 'Track and Field' I liked best though! Also, do bear in mind that neither of the B&S Barrows shows were as good as that time, back in the day, that I witnessed Elvis supporting Billie Holiday at the Apollo back in '48... ;)
ReplyDeleteWatched the Tuesday feed here on a NPR stream, fine gig.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was pretty great! Stuart is becoming quite the Showman and Entertainer.
