Ally Cookie mentioned someone else who mentioned early REM. The words 'REM' and 'early' placed within flirting distance of each other is enough to make me coo with delight but I won't cos I'm at work. Murmur barely got a mention but that's my 'fave' (unless I'm in a really contrary mood then it's Fables Of The Reconstruction - and soon the punches fly). It always takes me back to being a miserable 15 year old wondering why those sounds made him feel like he did despite the barely audible lyrics - ahhh. I wonder if it's healthy to like music that reminds you of being a depressed teenager? Hope so. Oh and the pictures of the kudzu vines and the trestle bridge on the sleeve are ace. Light, shadow, nature, architecture... mmmmm. I've got a soft spot for Document as well - although The One I Love has gone a bit stale and tends to be skipped these days. It was played by the band at a wedding reception once which I found a bit bizarre. All depends on individual interpretation I suppose. So there's a picnic in Embra. I'm gonna be up in Scoatland visiting friends west o' Glesgie that weekend so on the 15th I'll attempt to drag a non-sinister B&S fan across the country to the other, more postcardy city for byooze related funs. Thanks to everyone who said nice things about the Red Knickers photos. No reponse to the caption 'competition' yet. Probably for the best but I'm still accepting entries due to my failiure to set a closing date. 'At the end of the day I'll forget your name.'
