hey-lo, long time listener, first time poster... first off let me mention that i'm canadian...that should explain my inherent awkwardness towards all things cool. anyways, i had a very happy B&S experience today with one of my professors (i go to mcmaster uni)...he quoted nick drake in our outdoor environmental ed. class and so, after class, I told him that if he liked nicky's work that he should check out b&s...well, this prof was so happy that someone else knew about nick drake that he vowed to follow up on my suggestion and check out a few b&s tracks...yay! one down, 6 billion to go, i suppose... did someone mention the word "sloan" (yes evolmadflowr in dc...i believe you did!) whopppeee!!! Sloan rock...i don't even particularly like modern rock 'n roll (i.e. anything with an electric guitar made after 1980, excluding spiritualized et al....phew!) but i get so happy and bouncy when a sloan tune comes on...they make me feel all b&s-ey inside. i hear they are majestic live... i went to see a super movie the other day called "a simple plan". it's got well developed characters, lots of tension and very questionable morals...it looks at the downfall that a group of chums endure after finding 4 million dollars...the whole thing was very graphic but it had a beautifully sinister poetry to it that made me think of oldies-but-goodies like "shallow grave". plus, and this is the best part, the story is set into it's tragic course by a cute little fox who is, in fact, in the snow! he runs into the icey road being travelled by our heroes and starts the virtual shakspearean tragedy on its way. (yay, mr. fox!)
Joss (who hasn't heard the Looper LP but is perfectly willing to wait)<
yes joss...i to am willing to wait...only for me it has to do with the fact that i spend entirely too much on music and as a result am falt broke...does anyone know what label this fine product may pop up on in north america? (have those plans been made as yet even?)...i work at my campus radio station and have found that a kind phone call to a music label can easily snatch me a current piece of music history...yay!! take care and write back soon... ketan ps. a good friend of mine recently arrived at lancaster u. in england for the term...anyone go there?
