Re: Sinister: nice
Gentle Waves... when i first heard it i though that it was quite weak and insipid... but now its kind of grown on me, and weak and insipid has turned to sweet and innocent.. the songs are short and the voice is soft... and the lyrics are quite poeticly lovely too. However i still skip 'tree lullaby', as i find it a bit to tacky and tree hugging... not bad for a first attempt though i still think B&S work better as a team... Cheers, Lizzie!

Morning.
Cheers muchly to the people who mailed me about Out Of My Hair( Ryhs and Colin). Spent some of Monday afternoon looking around Leicester for their album, but couldn't find it. Looks like a trip to Nottingham I feel. Nice.
But the good news was that I found the Speedboat LP, Satellite Girl. First time I've found anything by them in Leicester, so that was a bit of a surprise. Production doesn't seem that great, but it's not bad. On The Run, The Hurtin' Kind and Tidal Wave are rather good, and the rest are growing on me. Anyone got any more information on these?
On the subject of things musically, are any of the other Jeepster releases worth looking at. Apart from B&S obviously, I've got Snow Patrol and Looper. What about Gentle Waves, as there seems to be a very mixed opinion on Isobel?

It was not my intention to single out all Christians--my mom and brother are Christians--just the ones who take it too far.
Probably been mentioned before, but it always seems to me that it's more of a problem in the states though, what with TV networks having to be extremely careful what they show incase they offend a couple of people. Wasn't it in Kansas that due to Christian pressure groups the state removed the big bang from subjects to be taught?
But then I suppose the UK is just as bad in other respects. Oh well.
Censorship. That always reminds me of the Ali G sketch on The Eleven O'Clock Show, where he goes on about punani and flange. Not that I found it amusing or anything. Well, not as amusing as the save the trees campaign, where some woman shouted at him 'Oi you wanker, this is real', and then him saying to the police 'Is it cos me is black?'
Right. That'll be me waffling.
Sex then.
Anyway.
Tim

hey kids, i have to agree, at least up to a point with the analysis of the gentle waves album, on first listen some of the song-writing did seem a little inept, but after repeated hearings i've grown, maybe not to love it, but at least to be mightily impressed. in fact, i was even more impressed by the album and by my friend when i walked into the room where i had left him listening to it and he exclaimed, "this is in 2:4 time, nothing's in 2:4 time" and, lo and behold, i listened with my discriminating ears on, rather than my usual just-listen-to-the-pretty-sounds ears and he was right. impressed? i should say so!! i don't actually have anything exciting or even slightly interesting to say to you all (not unlike some others on the list) - sorry, i really should put my claws away, most of you are probably bigger than me and i don't want to fear for the safety of my ass. but, i thought i would post anyway as it is my intention to become one of the regulars that everyone gets to know and love(?), regardless of my lack of vocabulary and interesting experiences. i had one of those gorgeous unnecessary feelings of panic today when something goes slightly wrong and you know that it won't have a huge effect on the fabric of the universe or indeed your own little life, but it still makes you feel as if you desperately need to use the nearest lavatorial facilities. (i hope its not just me that feels like this in times of crisis because that really would be embarassing). anyway, i got on a bus which profesed on the front to be going to the area in which i live and it proceeded to head in that direction, to get to my flat one has to travel in a straight line along a single road and has no reason to turn at any junction. imagine my terror when after about half a mile, it turned left and continued in this direction for several minutes. for the duration of this time i tried to reassure myself that everything would be fine, it did afterall say on the front that the bus was going my way, but my panic only got worse when almost all the other passengers alighted and i knew that i was not yet anywhere near my destination. finally, the bus reached a crossroads, but, oh no, it was forced to wait there for what seemed like centuries as other traffic passed and i tortured myself that it might not turn right as i wanted it to, but would head in another direction. thankfully, the bus did eventually turn right and arrived soon after almost on my doorstep, but not before it had travelled through a very dodgy looking area, which i worried greatly that i would have to walk through. phew! sorry about that, i've just read through what's written above and realised that its the largest pile of nonsensical drivel i've read on here... ever (the word nonsense was first used by BenJonson in Bartholomew Fair, that's what i learnt at uni this week) that was just one those really dull anecdotes that you feel you can't tell anyone, particularly when there are few people you know that well, but putting it into writing gets it out of your system. i did intend to write something to cheer all you listees up, as everyone seems to be upset or depressed at the moment, but that's what came out i'm afraid. i think its the time of year you know as when i think about it i realise that my own happiness is teetering on the brink , but i'll just get drunk instead. cheers for reading this crap (if you did read it and didn't just scan through until you got to the end of the big paragraphs) :) stay beautiful, fiona
