Probationary period over? I promise not to be a nuisance, but another intro couldn't hurt, eh? I feel old looking at the list makeup, just edging out of my twenties. Wasted a decade, aside from some personal growth, a marriage and college, but I'm still not where I want to be, so I guess it doesn't mean much. Hazy dreamer and all that... I'm in the middle of the USA, what we call the "Heartland" here in the states, and things are flat but not that dull. I write...anything really, comic books at the moment...a book called Love in Tights for the nonce...back in school because the brain begins to rot, and stimuli was so desperately needed. And I discovered B&S in a record store the week IYFS was released. After wondering aloud about the sound (the Kinks covering Nick Drake? What? Eh?), the clerk shoved a copy in my hands, and I've never looked back... One of my goals is to spread the gospel to friends and family, and I've just done a mix for my brother-in-law (who just finished law school and is generally to be found drinking with me when I'm in town, listening to music into the wee hours). I hope the powers that be don't frown upon a B&S mix. Copyrights aside, the idea is to introduce the band in full, and lead him and my sis down the path with the arab strap.... The tunes on said disc: The State I Am In Expectations She's Losing It Stars of Track and Field Seeing Other People Me and the Major Like Dylan in the Movies The Fox in the Snow Get Me Away From Here... If You're Feeling Sinister Judy and the Dream of Horses Lazy Line Painter Jane It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career Sleep the Clock Around A Summer Wasting The Boy With the Arab Strap The Rollercoaster Ride Have I missed anything? Of course I have. That's the point. Just cueing up The Wicker Man (which stars a young Edward Woodward)...night all...
