If you work for much very longer, you'll be known as the boy who's always working.

So I'm back, (yes, Rachel, just cause you asked) and a month into 2010 I'm starting to get back to my normal life. I spent a good chunk of my day listening to a Belle & Sebastian concert on NPR today. It was Mar 6, 2006 at the 930 club with the New Pornographers, and while I was not at that particular show, I did see them two days earlier at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. It was at that show that I bought one of my most prized pieces of artwork.

And while my b&s memorabilia doesn't rival the collections of some (aka miss jessica), I have always felt like this band's memorabilia isn't just your typical band tshirt or pin. Just like the music, it's something you live with, not just use to advertise your interests. So here's a collection of my favorite b&s stuff, new(er) and old. Whenever they finish their new record, may they please rush back to the east coast so i can attend every concert possible.
