I don't really know B&S that well. They just seem kind of ball-less. Which is not how I hear SPG. True. I don’t really know B&S that well. They just seem kind of ball-less.

Which is not how I hear SPG.

For the very well trained, it's a plausible method of evaluation. For the ignorant, like me, it's just a rebound, a reminder of a some quality, probably not even musical, of a prior experience. A Belle and Sebastian comparison does nothing for me up or down as my entire knowledge of them stems from one scene in High Fidelity. But for you, it's WTF?

I've been to about 5 music shows in my entire life, 2 of which have been SPG. I don't agree with Matt's characterization of his music having any Belle and Sebastian... that's a diss in my book. But Elvis Costello, definetely. I love seeing these guys play. ps- I guess I'm a groupie. Hey I know this group!

We were both music majors at UCONN. He's one of the nicest, most genuine guys I've ever met, not to mention an absolutely killer musician. We even lived together for a year or so. Haven't seen him in many many years though. Small world. Crazy, I went to college with Mike Blancaflor. We were both music majors at UCONN.
