well of course, i ran out and bought 'tigermilk' yesterday...i could feel my face light up when i saw the vinyl on display...and i went home, relaxed, smoked, put the vinyl down and opened one of the cd versions i purchased and felt odd, because it's kind of bizarre that in this day and age, it wasn't released on cd the first time around. so i felt like i was holding a bastard child, some strange mutant offspring of technology, like maybe i should just stick to my worn cassette--is this natural?!?--you know, that kind of feeling. anyway, i listened to it before bedtime and it was definitely euphoric to hear the clarity of instruments and new percussion bits lost on my bastard copy and to hold actual liner notes in my hand (rather than reading them off a computer screen). and then i started thinking about my favorite b&s songs, the ones which really hit me, the ones that i relate most to...and it occurred to me that they are all the title tracks from their other releases, and on their full-lengths, they appear in roughly the same position on the songlist (tbwtas is number 9, iyfs is number 7) which brings me to "my wandering days are over"...this has always been my favorite b&s song ...it falls in about the same place as the other full-length album title tracks (it's number 8)...and so my point is (and granted it's not very significant or even very interesting, really), that if their first album had not been called 'tigermilk', 'my wandering days are over' would've fit nicely (especially with the same cover art)... agree? disagree? don't care? sorry for the bother. i hate wednesdays. cheers.jim. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
