I don’t like Belle and Sebastian. There, I’m just going to go ahead and say it. I happen to think it is wussy music for wussy kids, and I say that as someone who has a penchant for listening to some really flowery, wussy music. When even I can’t stand the sound of some sad whispery little dork and his twee-as-fuck arrangements…it has to be bad. You know what I think of when I think of Belle and Sebastian? I think about that scene in the movie Storytelling where the kid eats some mushrooms and gets a blowjob from his classmate. There’s a Belle and Sebastian song playing the background and it’s just perfect. Belle and Sebastian should always be playing whenever high school boys give each other blowjobs.
So there’s a song on this album called “Piazza, New York Catcher” which of course I have to mention because it’s another album that references my favorite sports team, the New York Mets. And that’s about all I have to say about that. I’m super busy right now so I’m going to call it a day. Listen to the song if you want, I wouldn’t but…you know…
