This was from the Madison, WI show that I was at earlier this month. I think I was right next to the guy who was recording this…

Anyways, this was the first time I heard this song live. It’s a terrific song, but when Stina Marie Claire Tweeddale (of Honeyblood, who was the opening act) went onstage to do Monica Queen’s part, it instantly became my new favorite Belle & Sebastian song. You can’t really hear her sing in this video, but she’s mesmerizing. Just look at the way she moves and sings. She IS Lazy Line Painter Jane.

Make sure to check out Honeyblood if you haven’t already. Good stuff.

Also, make sure to click on the album cover for a link to a song off that album.

Alright, let’s begin.
