Why can't I wear this record out? Has anyone else had the experience of putting this record on every day for the past six months thinking you might tire of it but you never do? It is like a fix. Judy and the Dream of Horses is the only song that has worn out slightly for me. I am thrilled with the prospect of a long and prosperous career for these guys. Has anyone heard a record they like more this year? The only other record that even comes close for me is Spiritualized's beautfully haunting LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE and Moloko's DO YOU LIKE MY TIGHT SWEATER. As far as gender issues, I think Seeing Other People is the best example of this. The song is really ambiguous. When Stuart Murdoch sings, "you'd be better of going with girls at least they know what they're doing" he could be talking to a woman or a man. There's a hand over his mouth because he has to keep the relationship secret.... Still it is kept very ambiguous. One of the newer songs had some ambiguities in it. I think that these songs are the product of a more open minded generation and also probably result in more Smiths comparisons. Morrisey liked to leave things vague as well. How old was the violin player, by the way? matrix ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
