well, it's not so easy to write to so many people at the same time.I'm a french guy and a big lover of B&S, since, when I listen to them, although it's raining , i can see a blue stripe in the sky and that's wonderful. to John M. and Robert M. :you're both right: in the U.S.A, in the U.K, and in France too, there are many good things and there is awful music ; i for one also love Radiohead and all britpop bands i can hear (which is not so easy, for in France , they also have their sh...and one or two radio stations are fine, in particular the 45mn one of the Black Sessions maker, Bernard Lenoir...).but i must admit my favourite band is an american one : Pixies.Oh, I know, it doesn't have much to do with B&S , but they have something in common: both can create atmospheres and in a quite important way...there are many bands and solists like that but I won't make an essay on it... well , hope i didn't give anyone any headache, otherwise i'm sorry... see you later... PS: I didn't taped the B&S black session, I'm so sorry i can't help you (but i'm first sorry for myself...) bon, sur ce , à plus! ______________________________________________________ Boîte aux lettres - Caramail - http://www.caramail.com
