I'm sure some of you snobs are aware of this by now, but the NPR Live Concert Series has a download for an OUTSTANDING recent B&S show. This band is very clean and tight live. Screw_Mich gave me the heads up on this.
Other shows to listen to on there include stuff from the New Pornos, The Walkmen, Arctic Monkeys and Sigur Ros.

The bootlegs I've heard from them are phenomenal. They're crystal clear and all very much in sync with each other.
I'm seeing them in July in DC, so I'll have a better answer to that question.

b&s is one of the greatest live bands around. they are the pearl jam of british chamber pop when it comes to the number of different songs they play live. it's fucking incredible. i have four different boots of theirs and there is probably only five or six of the same consistant songs on them.

BTW, the new album is fucking awesome. if this is the crossroads album for them on the career ladder, they hit the fucking jackpot.

The new album is very, very good.
The only thing even marginally weak they've done is "If You're Feeling Sinister".

the new album gets better every time i listen to it. stuart murdoch is one of the best songwriters of our generation. and not to mention the band as a whole is incredible.
i wouldn't classify if you're feeling sinister as week, just the most experimental b/s album. there are some classic tracks on it, just as a whole isn't very accessible, in my opinion.

i think that record is pretty accessible and poppy....the better cuts are the ones that clearly influenced by Marc Bolan....IMHO.
the opening verses of Blues are still Blue, for example....

you guys might know your music details a little more than mine, but i don't think sinister is a bad album at all. just very odd.

It isn't even a matter of it being bad, but if you compare it to the rest of their discography, it certainly merits a "weak".
