Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Yay! Okay, my recommendation is to buy If You Lived Here You'd Be Home Now, their 2000 album and the last one they did as a full band. There's another version of the song on the most recent album by Nerissa & Katryna Nields, which is actually titled This Town is Wrong, but I think IYLHYBHN is one of their best albums, and I'm only moderately enthused about the latest.
edit: aw, too bad about that B&S album, I would have liked to hear it.

That's the album that the DJ said the song was from, and IIRC, the DJ raved about how good the album is.
Did Belle & Sebastian do a Christmas album?!
I have no idea, but I've got like four or five Christmas songs by them, which are really good.
Low's Christmas album is particularly good, IMO. I'm fond of Yo La Tengo's short Xmas EP, too, if you can find a copy.
From David's post in Press:
Last night Knut and I went to see Kelly Hogan at The Hideout. We had a blast. Fun! Yay!
SO jealous! Of both the hanging-out-with-Knut and the seeing-Kelly-Hogan. What songs did she do?
What songs did she do?
Really cool set of mostly lesser known jazz vocals, peppered with country, rockabilly and old R&B pop. Did things like "Moody's Mood For Love" and "Red Top" - which folks who have my jazz vocal tapes might know.
Tonight we see Kelly, Jon Langford, Robbie Fulks and many more at Heather McAdams Country Calendar Party! Sweeeeet! Also they will be showing old 16mm film clips of old country folks like Ray Price and Marty Robbins. So fun!
Also? Madrigal's coming
Y'all know there are a number of Glam Rock Xmas songs, my favorite being by Mud.
Give Madrigal my respect and missage.
