Belligerent Ghoul sends the link / excerpt:

The Sun in Glasgow, Belle and Sebastian's Radiant Soul - The Stranger

...We also discuss Morrissey living in California, and I mention that the line on The Life Pursuit "It's a nice way to die, she's so easy on the eyes" is a lot like "To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die." Jackson replies, "Oh yeah, is that the Smiths? I think our line's better, to be honest, if that's not heresy. That's one of my favorite lines on the whole album."

  • there is no way that douchebag didnt either intentionally write such a similar line or at least know how similar it was the second after he wrote it..."oh, is that the smiths" Shut up you tool

  • I discovered this band way too late, but it makes collecting their back catalog that much more fun. I love their music.

    It's not heresy, but he couldn't be more wrong.

  • Doesn't allowing Belligerent Ghoul to have his name on the front page of the site everyday validate his misbehavior? This is the person who has stalked, insulted, and threatened more of this site's users than anyone else. Countless people have left because of him.

    Nevermind, for a moment, that he also brags about sending emails about David T. to the heads of Sanctuary. He brags that he's persuaded them to call David T. "Defamation Dave."

    How can we expect the site to improve, with regard to the trolling, when Ghoul is basically its Number 2 man? Ridiculous.

  • There's no similarity between the lines and so forget that. Just focus on this, if you like The Smiths and you like Morrissey's solo work, listening to Belle And Sebastian is a must.

    They are not two people, but a collection of about eight Glasweigan musicians who sing songs so tuneful, melodic, funny, catchy, sad, biting, awful and skyrocketing that anyone who bothers occasionally looking at this site best listen to them or miss out on something wonderful.

    The very recent LP 'The Life Persuit' (2006) is really funny and good, so buy that. But if you wanna get into some hardcore B+S then get 'Tigermilk' (1993) and the classic 'If You're Feeling Sinister' (1994). You will be amazed. Amazed they are not far bigger (although they sell out shows throughout the world because of a fanatical fanbase) but also why Moz has not mentiond them.

    Singer Stuart Murdoch is a HUGE Moz fan. But also his own man.

    VIVA B+S
