isobel is obviously graced with the taste of angels. didn't say a particular felt record did she? so hard to choose just one anyway :-) on the subject though, i find it weird that, let's say she's 20, yeah? i think i heard that or read that somewhere, yeah? well i just find it a bit funny that all the LPs she's listing would have been out when she was, lets see... 5, not even a flicker, 9 and somewhere between 3 and 13. i don't mean to sound cynical but, ahem surely no teenager is THAT hip? unless, ooh weird concept, Isobel is actually like the character in my new book and has actually been a 30 year old in a 16 year olds' body :-) This would answer a lot... Perhaps the whole group are like this. Except Stuart M who is the mad scientist who's been overseeing these crazy experiments. Erm, sorry, getting carried away . I just think it's a little bit sad that someone who was 15 in 1992 wouldn't have chosen a couple of LPs from the early 90s to be fave records. There were a few you know... maybe i'll even go off and find some and make her a tape :-) okay, meander over. the duke -- Tangents On-Line http://www.virtual-pc.com/tangent/ Tangents On-Paper: PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@mail.zynet.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Nah, she's probably just a retrospective listener like so many of us these days (I for one number Soft Cell and Propaganda and Supremes records among my favourites, and am but sixteen years of age at present...) Still, I guess it IS kind of weird that she doesn't like ANY of her 'contemporaries'. But then since half of *them* sound like diluted sixties/seventies/eighties greats anyway...no don't get me started! :) Love Kate xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Personally, I'm a mere 20 myself, but I own lots of CDs that were released before I was born, never mind ones which came out when I was 15. Sometimes I just find a record I really like and then work my way through their back catalogue, or get things by people I've been told about, or whatever. I only went out and got some Nick Drake because people had told me B&S sounded like him, and now I love his music too. I don't find it at all strange that someone should like stuff that came out before they had sufficient taste to like it; hell, ten years ago I was buying Kylie albums :-(. Good music is good music no matter how old it is, and once it has been released it is just waiting there for someone to discover and fall in love with it, be it the next day or 20 years later. Maybe in 20 years time loads of new bands who are currently still in nappies will be quoting B&S as a major influence... Stuart G P.S. Anyone out there who's expecting tapes from me at the moment, I changed e-mail addresses a couple of weeks back when I came back to uni, so I haven't got copies of any e-mail requests you may have sent me last month any more. All tapes I've received are either in the post or will be on Monday, but if anyone else is expecting something you'd better e-mail me again (sorry!). While I'm on the subject, if anyone else out there wants dubs of Tigermilk / Radcliffe Sessions / Evening Session from last month, drop me a line, I've got through my current batch now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

alright. i know "duke" isn't trying to say us younguns shouldn't listen to the older bands and i know he's not being rude about it, but i'm gonna throw my two cents in anyway. i was born in '74, so growing up left me with little other than billy joel and bryan adams, then later on motley crue and guns n roses.....so it wasn't until '89 when i got into the good stuff. smiths. morrissey. felt. stone roses. but now some of my favorite bands are bands that were probably on the verge of breaking up or broken up before i had ever heard of them. felt. velvet underground. smiths. dream syndicate (are they still together?). love. talking heads. the feelies. so on and so on. (i hate nick drake). so, it's not so unusual to like bands that you didn't grow up with. i'd be hard pressed to find someone who still absolutely loves what they did when they were 13 and 14. if that was the case, i'd be on the motley crue mailing list talking about how whitesnake are posers. good bands are good bands. it doesn't matter if you grew up with them or not. and one other question. my cd copy of "me and a monkey on the moon" has an odd shape to it. it's round and everything, but it's kind of like two differnet sized layers. i don't know how to explain. anyway, does anyone else have this problem or do i have a bum cd. it only plays half the time cause it seems to be a cheaply manufactured cd. any thoughts? -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
