We all know this, but to actually witness it is another story... So I purchased a copy of Belle and Sebastian's Fans Only DVD and in addition to watching it...

I'm probably not the best one to be answering this, but I thought I'd give it a shot --- Paco is a side project for Ivy members Andy Chase and Dominique ...
Andy's mention of B&S on this very list was one of the first places I heard of them ... They were fans since way back ... Too bad that "Sessions @ W. 54th" was...

... I tend to agree that Paco sounds darker than the last two Ivy releases; I'd also add that it has a heavier sound (although I wouldn't call it "free-form"...

Sing is available in mp3 format at their website (www.thebandivy.com), and so are many of the other "hit" songs. I keep hoping some kind soul will convert...
I found Andy's comments on Realistic to be very interesting, considering what my likes/dislikes are with the various Ivy albums. I wouldn't have gone so far as...
I have always marveled at the sound quality of Ivy's recordings, and I do pay a good amount of attention to things like that. To me, their recordings have...
Hey guys... I got Brookville yesterday and was pleasantly surprised with what I heard! I wasn't expected it to be quite as experimental - I was thinking it was...
... The thing about this is that, I believe, to some listeners this so-called "amateurish" sound makes the recording more accessible and perhaps endearing. ...
I emailed Saab about the background music for the 9-3 State of Independence commercial that had been airing, heard back about a week later. Assuming that I...
Thanks, Andy, for your personal insights on the Ivy recordings. As a fan of anyone's recordings I tend to focus primarily on the musical content, then the...
It'd be cool if the next time Realistic is reissued (which should be any minute now :) it would be remastered more to Andy's current standards. Of course,...
Mike, I meant to respond to your post a few weeks ago regarding musical vs. lyrical content. I approach music the exact same way! The first thing that hit me...

Only on Realistic to I get that "bored" sound ... Right, I found it a bit curious that Andy referred to Lately as an "album!" ;-p ... I was introduced to Ivy...
Hey folks -- A couple people recently asked about getting Ivy B-sides and hard-to-find tracks; Andy now sez that sometime between the end of this year and the...
That's really great news, Randee! There's a lot for us Viners to look forward to this year :o) BTW: did anyone else watch Kingdom Hospital this week? I...
I did catch it. It was fabulous to see Ivy matched up with the beautifully surreal opening title visuals by the same guys (or gals?) who did the "Six Feet...
