Asking me to choose between Tigermilk and If You're Feeling Sinister is like asking a mother to choose a favorite child. I mean, yes, Tigermilk was the first B&S I heard, and nothing will quite compare to my heart skipping a beat the first time I heard "You're Just a Baby," but "Judy and the Dream of Horses" took the slow burn approach and haunted me for weeks. Maybe we're all a tad partial to the first B&S we heard. Any thoughts? Also, in reference to Neutral Milk Hotel recommendations, what can I say besides this....I saw them in Boston the night after the festival in Providence Nigel mentioned, and it was easily the rockinest live show I have ever attended. After the first song, the packed-in-crowd at the Middle East sat in stunned silence until a woman in the back of the crowd said "Oh my God, this is *so cool.*" And we all just nodded and then the second song kicked in. Their CD, "On Avery Island," was the driving CD of choice this past Spring, and "Song Against Sex" and "Naomi" have quickly become mix tape staples. Check them out.
