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...

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.
