Quotable

Tuesday, January 13th, 2004

“San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play.
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?”

– from Belle and Sebastian’s new album, Dear Catastrophe Waitress

I like this because of the somewhat small subset of people who listen to Belle and Sebastian, know who Mike Piazza is, and know why the lyric is funny.

    Coincidence?

    I find it somewhat odd that Radley and I are listening to the same semi-obscure music. It’s an even smaller subset of libertarians who get the references. That’s from the CD I mentioned here….

    The geeks at Baseball Primer’s Clutch Hits tend to go off on indie rock tangents, and there’s never a shortage of Mike Piazza troll posts.

    Belle and Sebastian are fags.

    The whole thing is very twee. Isn’t there some sort of Venn Diagram that can represent this?

    Every time I hear the name “Belle and Sebastian” I think of the creepy cartoon that was on Nickelodeon in the early 80s. I think it was on after “Today’s Special.”

    Remember how Sebastian was on this big hunt to find his mother? Belle was his giant dog that carried a barrel of water around its neck. Did Sebastian ever find his mom?

    Does ANYONE else remember this??

    Bud –

    No, if B&S’s previous work is any indication, I’d say they’re poking fun at the folks who are constantly speculating whether Piazza is or isn’t gay.
