Music is something to share, to talk about, and occasionally ram down other people's throats. This is a blog that does all of that.

A Beautiful 'Pursuit'

It's pretty clear I love Belle and Sebastian. And in listening to their new album The Life Pursuit, which is released tomorrow, I know why I dig them so much.

Infinitely more satisfying than the 2003 effort Dear Catastrophe Waitress, The Life Pursuit is a more fully-realized, looser and more organic effort--and the songs are as catchy and odd as B&S fans expect them to be.

More on this (and yes, more on the new Rosanne Cash, too--I haven't forgotten) soon!

You should check out "If You're Feeling Sinister" - i like that album a lot. I've been playing cuts from their new album on my show (on WFWM) - good stuff! Too bad their shows are sold out at the 9:30 Club...

Oh yes--I immediately bought their catalog, including the singles, after I heard "Fold Your Hands." Love love love "Sinister."
