Actually, I've found the best B&S album to play to someone whose never heard them is Dear Catastrophe Waitress.

That's because Dear Catastrophe Waitress is easily their very best album. (ducks & runs..)

This is straight up madness, as The Life Pursuit was pretty much the only thing by B&S worth hearing since If You're Feeling Sinister.

whenever i'm in a record shop in glasgow and they're playing some unspeakable shite over the sound system, it always turns out to be belle and sebastian

I saw a review this morning, seemed to suggest that the christmas session was an extra on CD2..

Oh, I see what they've done...
The Belfast show was a christmas gig.

Their b-sides and EP collections feature their best work. Hooking up with Trevor Horn was a bad idea in the long run, but where else would they have taken their sound? Oh well, still have the early music.

Such a great live band. The audience is getting older and surlier though. Someone threw spitballs at me for standing & dancing when they played at a seated concert hall in Toronto last year :(
