I first heard “God Help the Girl” some time ago, and thought that it might grow on me. FUCK I was wrong. It has all of the things that I LOVE about Belle and Sebastian, but Stuart decided to cutsie the fuck out of it. It’s going to be hard listening to the Boy With the Arab Strap now, simply because of who wrote the songs. It’s like a baby fart: it’s cute at first, and then you realize that the little fucker pooped and YOU have to clean it up.Maybe, and I really mean maybe, I would like it if I wasn’t sure of my sexuality, was 12 and had never heard music before.
To break it down, if I had to give this god awful, ipecac music a rating, I might give it a 2/10. Only because my new years resolution was to not be a dick. I would give it a 0. If I was only going to have sex one more time in my life, and I found out this shit was going to be the coital-jam, I would abstain. You’ve failed me, Stuart.
