BELLE AND SEBASTIAN
Love Belle and Sebastian, they are perfect pop I think. Have all their albums and just always feel light and breezy listening to them. I discovered them back in the about 2003 when Dear Catastophe Waitress came out. Both tracks are from this album and they are the tracks that sold me on them. I knew I was on to something good when soon after Rory Gilmore was wearing a Belle and Sebastian t-shirt on an episode of The Gilmore Girls. (Man, I miss that show...wished I was a Gilmore Girl, I know I would hold my own!) Isn't it funny how when you discover something new, you had never heard of up until that moment and then all of a sudden they are referenced seemingly everywhere you look?
TRACK FIVE: Step into my office, baby
This is quirky and jumpy and and goes between that style and cute little sweet sections, it works. The lyrics are amusing, " Your place or mine", " a chance of overtime". Ha! I also like the groovin' slow section towards the end that cruises back into the jumpy bits.
TRACK SIX: Wrapped up in books
This is another pop gem , fast rhythm, sweet lyrics, slow bridge, lovely piano, good guitar , great vocals. And there are not many songs that reference books, "our aspirations are wrapped up in books."

which episode was rory wearing the belle and sebastian t-shirt? it's driving me mad! (i'm from glasgow, i love gilmore girls, and I want the exact t-shirt rory has... I also promise I am completely normal)
Ahhh, I have no idea! It was from an early series, when Rory was still living at home...it was referenced later when she goes to College, but I don't think you see it. I did a whole lot of looking on the net but nothing...only way is to watch the series from the beginning ;) Which is not such a bad thing...I love The Gilmore Girls too and miss it :( Hope you find the t-shirt someday.
