Sinister: alternate 'tigermilk' name

[Jim Schmidt]

     well of course, i ran out and bought 'tigermilk' yesterday...i could 
     feel my face light up when i saw the vinyl on display...and i went 
     home, relaxed, smoked, put the vinyl down and opened one of the cd 
     versions i purchased and felt odd, because it's kind of bizarre that 
     in this day and age, it wasn't released on cd the first time around. 
     so i felt like i was holding a bastard child, some strange mutant 
     offspring of technology, like maybe i should just stick to my worn 
     cassette--is this natural?!?--you know, that kind of feeling.
     
     anyway, i listened to it before bedtime and it was definitely euphoric 
     to hear the clarity of instruments and new percussion bits lost on my 
     bastard copy and to hold actual liner notes in my hand (rather than 
     reading them off a computer screen). and then i started thinking about 
     my favorite b&s songs, the ones which really hit me, the ones that i 
     relate most to...and it occurred to me that they are all the title 
     tracks from their other releases, and on their full-lengths, they 
     appear in roughly the same position on the songlist (tbwtas is number 
     9, iyfs is number 7)
     
     which brings me to "my wandering days are over"...this has always been 
     my favorite b&s song ...it falls in about the same place as the other 
     full-length album title tracks (it's number 8)...and so my point is 
     (and granted it's not very significant or even very interesting, 
     really), that if their first album had not been called 'tigermilk', 
     'my wandering days are over' would've fit nicely (especially with the 
     same cover art)...
     
     agree? disagree? don't care?
     
     sorry for the bother. i hate wednesdays.
     
     cheers.jim.
