apparently they do this thing where, instead of saying "Hello San Francisco!" they'll do a cover of a song from a local band.

this strikes me as really cool.

Like, in Belfast recently, they did this remarkably close version of The Boys Are Back in Town (in Real Audio).

When I saw them play in NYC a few years back, they played "Turn, Turn, Turn" as arranged by The Byrds, who I don't think are from NYC.

But that must've been before they started this very interesting little live gimmick...
here's hoping they come back to NYC and do a great VU cover or two... I'd like to hear Stuart Murdoch sing "I'm Waiting For The Man"...or maybe "After Hours"...

Listening to that RealAudio, I must say it is disconcerting to hear them rock this hard.

Here in Brazil they played a song by Os Mutantes and another one by Jorge Benjor.

damn, I would kill to hear Belle & Sebastian doing "Baby" by Os Mutantes. Either that it would be fun to hear them try just about thing by Gilberto Gil.....
