Belle & Sebastian

[mccutcheon]

The show must go on. Tonight everyone I know, though not everyone I want to see, will be at Belle & Sebastian. I wonder if they will do Boy with the Arab Strap. Don't worry, along with being a pissed up Scottish duo who make rambling songs about drunk weekends and Kate Moss, an Arab Strap is a male chastity belt instead of a terrorist's weapon. It's also the name of an album and song by Belle & Sebastian.

Here is a poem I just found, written more than a year ago. To all those drinking red wine and whiskey and gin.

The green album by Belle & Sebastian
By Mc Cutcheon
For Julia


Early morning Julia and I wake up
It's the beginning of another day
The apartment window is open
Over the back alley the noise starts
City sounds seep into our lives
The men in the overhauls have arrived again
Loud clang of garbage cans
The smash of a thousand empty glass bottles
Recycled from the old run down gay bar
A cop siren wails down the block
Someone is in trouble already

Julia and I lay in bed freshly awake and overly excited
Making love to the song “The Boy with the Arab Strap�
We enjoy our Belle & Sebastian
We have every album, and e.p. collection
Scottish pop music makes the world sound better
Then a faint hiss escapes Julia's lips
As she comes to a major climax
I moan and we collapse hyperventilated
A few more songs until the album is over
We hug and cuddle and listen to the last few tunes
I kiss her on her forehead
She smiles back at me in her way

Super poem MC, fitting the music like a glove.

By the way, am I the only person around here who likes the Kings of Covenience as much as B&S? Quiet is the New Loud they say, and sometimes I am inclined to agree.

Julia is from Germany, and we haven't been that close for about a year, and when she read that poem she said to me, 'keep me out of your sex stories' but she loved that day and the poem and orgasm.
