ok, since im having to deal with sifting through all the mail from this list i might as well post about some b+s stuff. sinister just never gets old. i have a dub for my car with tigermilk on one side and sinister on the next and let me tell you it is the very best way to spend a drive to vegas and back-we listened to that tape nonstop for 300 miles. each way. sinister is obviously the best album of 97 and i seriously think it might be the best of the 90's period. far from being a chris douridas morning becomes eclectic fan, i think the intro about b+s songs being old friends you havent met is passable. after the first couple listens i was on the brink of tears thinking they were better than the smiths, better than magnetic fields, better than the cannanes, better than anything id ever heard and sure to live in my heart for the rest of my life the way a small few other bands have. so maybe that's what he meant-their songs' instant "classic" appeal. on that note ill say i heard for the first time lazy line painter jane or whatever it's called today on the radio and was quite underwhelmed. it went on too long, the female vocals are iffy at best-as were the male's on this take, and the basic rock n' roll lick of the thing was a put off. well im exageratting-can you tell i have a penchant for that-but truly i was a bit sad cause it didnt sound very magical. lastly, on "The Boy Done Wrong Again" there is a part, a bridge i guess, where the violins come in after he sings "i will be happy now" for the first time. anyways, the chords and the sound of that moment have always reminded from the first time i heard it, to the wonderful song Aurora by the Cat's Miaow. Play 'em back to back and see if you see what i mean. Play em back to back anyways cause it's a real treat. cheers, mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
