I once got talked out of seeing Yo La Tengo to see them but couldn't stand it and legged it just in time to see Sugarcube which was totally worth it.

wait, is this list supposedly made of people who have never heard them before, or wish they had never heard them before and wish to never hear them again? I was under the impression it was the latter...? (though i fall into neither!)
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 3 December 2008 21:10 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm no pavement hater. they are good, but somewhat overrated imo. haven't really listened to them since end of high school/first year of university. they're kind of a cliche "college kid" band. don't mean that in a bad way. they do have some great stand out tracks.
eat skull is pretty great. good live, too.
― Harpal, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 21:10 (fifteen years ago) link
xp how bout people who don't particularly care for them either way?
― Disco/Very (Roz), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 21:11 (fifteen years ago) link
i'd like to see them live. they're from portland (or somewhere west? lol like a true new yorker there's new york and everywhere else :p) right? have they come east to tour?
xp roz B&S or pavement?
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 3 December 2008 21:12 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, portland. i saw them a few times at sxsw this past year. don't know if they've toured east.
regarding b&s - i'm in the indifferent category. i'd probably rather be listening to country teasers.
― Harpal, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 21:13 (fifteen years ago) link
belle and sebastian. i like pavement ok.

It had to be Maiden. Predictable but it just had to be. I thought no 66665 was funny.

I once got kicked out of a B&S concert
I was part of an audience that inspired Stuart Murdoch and Stevie Jackson to walk off stage in a feeble indie strop. Seriously: one of the most pathetic things I have ever witnessed. I remember I tried to have a pop at the latter about it later on; trouble is, I was so drunk that I don't imagine he understood a word of it.
Anyway. If ever a band could fuck off for eternity, etc ...

Ach, it's a long story. I've posted about it elsewhere. Suffice it to say: the pair of them were asked to do a small set at a private party, and got pissy because people weren't reverential enough towards them. No fucking wonder: it wasn't a bloody gig, and the majority of the people there didn't have a clue who they were.
Of course, being such ineffectual fuckers, they managed to take the stage, play two songs, get upset and storm off without 50% of the invited guests even noticing.
I should add that I genuinely like some of their music, and I've seen the fully fledged band on two or three occasions and enjoyed them. However, their petulance and spoilt look-at-us attitude that night put me off them forever. For fuck's sake: it was someone else's party -- someone to whom they owed a couple of favours, to put it mildly -- at which they were asked to play a short set. To throw a strop after two songs because we weren't paying them enough attention struck me as wank-arsed in the extreme.
(Then again: Stet argues, to this day, that they were absolutely right and we should all have been bowing down before them, etc.)

If they're both guys, how can they be called "Belle & Sebastian"? Is there some joke there?

Well: he likes them a lot more than I do, put it that way.
The more I think about this, the more I realise a lot of the reason I've no time for them/get pissed off by them is because of personal, non-musical stuff (including a couple of things I'm categorically not posting here). That's probably unreasonable of me, but hey. I'm in an unreasonable mood right now.
