Hey, what do you think about about Belle & Sebastian?
I like most of their melancholic beatlesque tunes very much.
Haven't heard their latest, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, but I hear everywhere that it's very good...
but I can't go and buy it directly because erm... it seems I bought nineteen cd's only in October, pretty excessive I'd say...

I love them. I honestly can't think of one song by them over the years that I haven't liked. I was and still am a huge Smiths fan so they were right up my alley when they first came out.

Belle and Sebastian...
i have their unique album by me:
The Boy With The Arab Strap,
probably the only album mixed / remembered with a different band :the Arab Strap
even in Alternative Nation on Mtv, Dirty Dream Number Two (by B&S from that album) is followed by Cherubs (by the Arab Strap)..
Tigermilk (their debut i think) has always been in my wish list,
even though i know a couple of songs off,
and the latest heard many good things.
(when they were awarded as the Best New Entry in 1998 (?) in Brit Awards,
the Steps expected 100% being awarded instead, blamed the Scotish to insert tricks into the issue.
But members of B&S just smiled these, and gone...)
i simply enjoy their tune...

b&b have really wonderfull songs,the "If You're Feeling Sinister" it´s charming
i´v heard that this new album it´s more "rock",more "happy"
im still waiting to see that

I'm just listening to Dear Catastrophe Waitress and it's just lovely
:tongue:

i want it

then get it

I have "If You're Feeling Sinister" and I listen to it frequently. Great songwriting, unique sound. I have "Tigermilk" on my wish list too, but it may be a few years before I get it. Anyways, I like what I've heard of them.

I;ve been hearing heaps about Belle & Sebastian lately, What other bands are similar to them?

none, really
