And we have to admit, these two go along in perfect harmony. The characters, the mellow mood, the weather...



More people though so and I went to explore what I thought was more than a mere internet meme.

First off, Belle is a character in Peanuts, one of his sisters:
Nevertheless Belle & Sebastian claim to have gotten their name from a French children's story. (I remember the cartoons on the TV, it had to be an anime based production of course, and I even have their book.)

There is a copy of the original Peanuts theme, with the same rhythm boxes and all, wandering around the Internet labeled as being played by Belle & Sebastian. It made it's way to Last.fm as you can see.

There are also references to a live cover performance of the Peanuts theme.

Finally, "Seeing other people" from Belle and Sebastian really does sound a lot like the Peanuts theme:

These last two points seem to be the only factual relationship between the two...

There is nothing better than the roots

... but you'll come to find out that these are rooted somewhere even more primal ;)

Descobri-o mesmo agora. Mais uma rádio personalizada/comunidade com gostos musicais semelhantes online? Sim, mas esta tem alguns pontos muito interessantes. Acima de tudo é a primeira que não deixa de tocar a música quando navegamos na página (truquezinho engraçado com frames). Vou tentar explorar melhor o bicho, mas confesso que o Last me apanhou por ter (quase) tudo: agenda de eventos, registar músicas ouvidas em vários dispositivos (só não consigo ter lá o que oiço na rádio e CD do carro), uma comunidade activa, e mais coisas que nem devo conhecer...

Hoje fiz algo inconfessável. Tem a ver com algo redondo, um empate e muito vermelho. Mas não estou muito envergonhado :P

E deixou-me no mood certo para ver o meu 1º filme do Abbas Kiarostami, andava a precisar deste mood há alguns dias já:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

And at a given point in the afternoon paradise comes to earth:



And the folks in the tribe, singing joyfully in an African prairie or a South Pacific island (the differences are more dim than we might think), are not fully naked but wear feathers over their most intimate parts.

Claro que depois há estas outras completamente hilariantes...



Num sentido muito retorcido a coisa até é um bocadinho fofa.
