Sinister: Free at last, free at last....

Hello.
My name is Mike and I just got out of the nursery.  I'm originally from Los 
Angeles, but I now live in Idaho.  I bought IYFS a year or so ago simply 
because I thought the cover looked cool -- I had no idea that I was about to 
hear some of the most beautiful and brilliant music ever recorded.  "The 
Stars of Track and Field" stuns me to this day, every time I play it.  I 
remember seeing the Smiths in '85 at the Hollywood Palladium and being very 
conscious of the fact that I was in the midst of something powerful and 
lasting, and I really hadn't felt that way again until I discovered B&S.  
Last month I finally got to hear Tigermilk for the first time, and I was not 
disappointed.  It blows my mind that a debut album can contain songs as 
perfect and expansive as "My Wandering Days Are Over" or "We Rule the 
School".  I also love "I Could Be Dreaming" and "You're Just a Baby", which 
are pure Velvet Underground.  One thing I've noticed while digging through 
the posting archives is, for the most part, TBWTAS is regarded as something 
of a disappointment.  I couldn't disagree more -- I think it's a brilliant, 
logical expansion of the band's sound.  I just wish they would've thrown 
"Slow Graffiti" (their crowning achievement to date, in my not-so-humble 
opinion) on that album, where it would've fit perfectly....

I've just realized that I'm rambling.  So I'd better stop.

Bye,

Mike
