Lilac Time are relatively hard to come by in the U.S., since their entire catalogue has been deleted.
i am in love with the lilac time. i think that "and love for all" and "paradise circus" are their best. i haven't really had a difficult time finding their albums in the US. they kind of just fall into my lap. there was a charity shop in my home town (suburb of san diego) at which i found several lilac time (and orange juice!) goodies. that amazed me because nobody back there has very good taste. the last time i was in norwich i found a "laundry" 7" for 50 pence. a couple months ago i found "welcome to hell, here's your accordion" at a flea market here in san francisco. the only thing i don't have is "astronauts." perhaps if you don't look very hard you'll find what you're looking for. and as for music i'd recommend, here you go: the smiths, nick drake, the divine comedy, patti smith, the sundays, the magnetic fields, al green, mary margaret o'hara, the jam, the beautiful south, the soundtrack from 'breakfast at tiffany's,' old bowie, teenage fanclub, roxy music, elvis costello, simon and garfunkel, the style council, the trashcan sinatras, weekend, talk talk, burt bacharach, aztec camera, petula clark, the beatles, mcalmont & butler, sandie shaw, jacques brel...the list goes on and on and on... what have i been listening to lately? belle and sebastian, por supuesto. OH! i don't know if the question was ever answered, but the book on the cover of lazy line painter jane is, _reason and reality_ by john polkinghome. it's easier to read on the 12". ta ta! :) michelle ps-oops. sent this to the wrong address originally. i wanted to add, though, that i do love scottish accents (this is in regards to that old thread), especially when scottish women speak. for instance, ruth from eastenders and bess from "breaking the waves." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
