'Twas my first Belle and Sebastian show (I never felt dedicated enough to deserve to go the last couple times through town), and boy - boy, oh boy. 'Stars of Track and Field' as an opening number is always a good sign. Then came the best songs of the new Life Pursuit, some crowd-pleasers ('Electric Renaissance,' 'Fox in the Snow,' 'Your Cover's Blown,') and a couple of my favorite songs - period ('Dog on Wheels,' 'The State I Am In.') The encore brought 'Judy and the Dream of Horses,' and aside from all of that, there was a kick line with some female audience members and Stuart, a couple fainting fans, and Sarah and my little smile connection. She's adorable, but I think I just solidified my lust for Stevie Jackson - the boy is a dreamboat. What a truly beautiful show. No one does beautiful like these Scotsmen. Belle and Sebastian is: Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson, Sarah Martin, Chris Geddes, Richard Colburn, Mick Cooke, and Bobby Kildea.
