The Venn Diagram of My Heart

For those of you in the know, Deepusaurus and I are in agreement on many things. Especially musical things. If one were to draw a Venn Diagram of our musical tastes the overlapping middle part would be far larger than the two non-overlapping parts. Oh, wait. One has. One is me. I have.



Please note the number one band in the middle, whimsical Glaswegian indie-poppers, Belle & Sebastian. B&S are on a hiatus at the moment but that hasn't stopped their main songwriter, Stuart Murdoch, from putting out a new album- God Help the Girl. He's assisted in his "musical narrative" by nine different vocalists, with Catherine Ireton taking lead vocals on most the tracks. A '60s Girl Group sound + lilting vocals + B&S + summer sunshine= I am charmed! Oh, and it might end up being a movie? Fine!

You can hear a bunch of the songs here. Enjoy! Album out June 23rd in the US.
