1) Belle & Sebastian is the correct spelling, as far as I know. I was confused that this record was labeled "Belle and Sebastian" when it came up in my iTunes, as it is the only record of theirs that does so.
2) "Seymour Stein"-- the song used in the High Fidelity clip above-- is one of their worst songs, and it even name drops Johnny Marr. The BBC sessions version is better, but still not good. If I were Jack Black, I would be pretty pissed off at having to listen to that song on a Monday morning, too, and I'm a HUGE fan.
3) This collection is awesome. Super awesome. The versions of "Lazy Line Painter Jane" and "Sleep the Clock Around" are worth price tag alone.
4) Record store employees get laid. Just sayin.
