# I like it, too...
but prefer their first two lo-fi albums. they got Trevor Horn in to tidy up the sound on this one. Or was it the one before?

The power of the economic reformer is limited by the technical productivity of labor.
So long as it was necessary to the bare subsistence of the human race that most men
should work very long hours for a pittance, so long no civilization was possible except
an aristocratic one; if there were to be men with sufficient leisure for any mental life,
there had to be others who were sacrificed for the good of the few. But the time when
such a system was necessary has passed away with the progress of machinery.

It would be possible now, if we had a wise economic system, for all who have mental
needs to find satisfaction for them. By a few hours a day of manual work, a man can
produce as much as is necessary for his own subsistence; and if he is willing to forgo
luxuries, that is all that the community has a right to demand of him. It ought to be
open to all who so desire to do short hours of work for little pay, and devote their
leisure to whatever pursuit happens to attract them. --B. Russell

# wise words...
wait a minute, 'forgo luxuries'?
Fuck that!

# That's the fly in the ointment.
But it is likely your idea of luxuries is far from what he is speaking of.
Mere indulgences pale in comparison to having famous musicians
at your daughters birthday party or erecting follies in public areas etc etc.

# Bertrand Russell, or Ron Paul
people who listen to Belle and Sebastian invariably are also huge Joss Whedon cultists and Ron Paul libertarians... at least, in my experience.

# Ron Paul is a fucking shitty freak magnet.
So it sort of makes sense I guess.
