Re: Sinister: TIGERMILK REGISTER: Britain's luckiest guy.
I heard a conversation in a CD shop recently to the effect that a radio station in Danbury CT, USA had a vinyl copy of Tigermilk -- when this woman went in to tape it, it was missing from where it had been the week before. So we can assume there is a person of dubious honesty with a copy somewhere in Connecticut. That same CD shop had 3 copies of Tigermilk, but had no idea who B&S were nor what it sounded like as they had never played it (because then it has to go into the "used" bin). Once IYFS came out, there was a mad search to find the Tigermilks, but they were, alas, gone... Me, I blame it all on the fact that we have really crappy commercial radio here in the states, and never get to hear anything wonderful when it's brand, shiny new. If radio was worth it's salt the DJs would be looking for new songs to introduce us to rather than beating the same old stuff to death. B&S are only played semi-regularly on one station in this area, and that's only on Sunday night (WNEW-FM on the Vin Scelsa show). Although one day I ran out to the bank from work, and when I was leaving the drive-thru "The Fox in the Snow" came on WFUV from Fordham University -- it was so wonderful to hear it while driving that I had to drive around the block and go back to the office via the scenic route to hear it all. And my son played them regularly while interning on Fairfield University radio this summer -- but at 100 watts, it was hard to pick them up outside a small circle of friends. on and on............... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
