Belle and Sebastian and Music Theory

I've been listening to a lot of B+S recently in anticipation of their DC show on Monday.  And I realized that B+S is one of the few bands (the only band I can think of off of the top of my head) that can end a song with a minor chord when the rest of the song (or most of it anyways) has been major.  Pretty much every song that ends like that sounds (to me anyways) like it is trying too hard.  And instead of making me feel angsty (what I guess bands are trying to do), it makes me feel like rolling my eyes and snorting.  It just sounds so cheesy!  But B+S can somehow pull it off.  Hmmmmmmmm...
