My weekend trip to Montreal turned out great as it was the right combination of good friends and fine music. Belle and Sebastian concert was fantastic and now I’ve only got Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on my ‘must see’ list.

I also got a chance to make up my mind on the latest Belle & Sebastian CD ‘The Life Pursuit’ so here it goes: Essentially it is same old – same old. While that means that it is in no way revolutionary or surprising, it is solid B&S and I can’t stop listening to it. I will have to pass it to Luisa before it burns a hole in my disk player (as I did with “Dear Catastrophe Waitress” before it).
