Hello - i've been lurking for a while. I find it hard to write as i'm working in Boston at the moment so getting to my PC is kind of difficult! Anyway, i've finally been inspired to write by the mention of the truly wonderful Lilac Time. When I taped Tigermilk for someone I put 'Astronauts' on the other side - so this has got me thinking : what have other people taped on that inviting 45 blank minutes which could live up to the greatness of 'Tigermilk' & not force the listener to knacker their walkman batteries with constant rewinds? Oh & the person who said The Lilac Time's lyric's are silly, whaddya mean ? Stephen A.J Duffy always manages to slip in a wondeful couplet in EVERY song!! I have some more questions about The Lilac Time, but I'll not bore the list now. If you're a fan mail me privately - you may be able to help. Oh, & I've a spare vinyl copy of 'Astronauts' If anyones interested, get in touch. The only problem is it's 3,000 miles away, but I'm sure something can be sorted...

yes, yes, yes....Q compared 'Sinister' very favorably to the Lilac's debut. They said that Sinister was the best 'folk' debut since the Lilac Time. Personally, I think Sinister sounds more like the Lilac's 'Astronauts', which is their most acoustic album.

<< i'm on a couple of other lists and it seems that every day, someone is recommending another band. i've noticed that i've heard no recommendations from this list (since i've been on it at least). now, i know we can't all be listening to nothing but belle and sebastian, so what is everyone out there listening to? >>
I would have to recommend the Lilac Time, though the lyrics can be pretty silly at times. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
