Barry (aka Jack Black): Holy ____. What the ____ is that?
Dick (aka Todd Louiso): It's the new Belle and Sebastian...
Rob (aka John Cusack): It's a record we've been listening to and enjoying, Barry.
Barry: Well, that's unfortunate, because it sucks ass.
I used to love this hilarious quote from High Fidelity (2000), but have come to realize how it nearly kept me from enjoying an amazing band. My tastes were much different back when I first saw this film, so I wasn't able to fully appreciate Belle & Sebastian for what they were, and instead sympathized with Jack Black's character as I cranked up the Tenacious D in the stereo.
Fortunately I recently acquired a number of B&S albums, and am now in love with their effeminate and airy version of Britpop.
Formed in Glasgow, Scotland, and influenced by The Beatles and The Smiths, if you like the The Decemberists and The Shins, you should love Belle & Sebastian.

When you said "if you like The Decemberists and the Shins, you should like this" you forgot to include "if you're a homosexual"- that's an important caviot, dave.
Ethan is just one of the unenlightened ones. I listened to them a bit the other day too, and I was quite impressed. But, hey, we should have known that if Gary Lightbody finds them good enough for Reindeer Section, they must be gold.
