Comment:

Yep, there are quite a few of these on the site already - but this is just my contribution and was something I had been meaning to do for a while, since...well, what can I say - I love Belle and Sebastian. Whittling my favourites down to one CD's worth was difficult, though when making single artist mixes, I think of that as the challenge! Although there are fewer EP tracks than album ones, generally I think that the band's best work is to be found on the EPs - most notably Lazy Line Painter Jane. In terms of albums, first of all I love Fold Your Hands Child... despite the fact that it doesn't get a brilliant rap, and although I wouldn't exactly say that Tigermilk was a "life-changing experience" (as I have heard it described), it is, without a doubt, a complete gem and my favourite of theirs (though it's very closely followed by If You're Feeling Sinister) simply because of its completely refreshing quality; it's one of the few albums I listen to without skipping a single track - the title of the mix also comes from the somewhat precious story of Belle and Sebastian which is found inside Tigermilk. However, I Could Be Dreaming had to be cut VERY reluctantly because of its length - other cuts were If You're Feeling Sinister, Storytelling and Mayfly. Oh yeah, and isn't it nice when you share a hometown with one of your favourite bands? :)
