Sinister: tigermilk and panties

[Jan Imgrund]

hello.

A premiere: B&S content in one of my posts! I promise I won't do it 
again..
But it is not very original B&S content, just the fact that I have 
bought Tigermilk! Who would have thought. 
I was one of those people who had a digital first time, so to say, 
having restrained from asking anyone for a noisy tape copy.. I am one 
of those who likes to postpone purchases of good books or records for 
a long time, knowing that the pleasure of not-having and phantasizing 
will always be greater than the pleasure of having and knowing... is 
that a strange behaviour? I don't know. At least it's behaviour that 
can save you money. At the moment I am not buying the Godspeed etc! 
and the Bonnie Prince Billy albums, and I think they are worth it.
But back to Tigermilk. This is so good! Incredible! The sound! The 
lyrics! The melodies! I think it totally blows up your standards out 
of proportion and you cannot listen to music from people who are just 
good musicians and not geniouses, and, as everyone knows,  geniouses 
are in short-supply... Even my beloved IYFS sounds a little flat in 
comparison. 
And also  my B&S-resistant flatmate is in love with "expectations", 
especially after I told her there is the line "lifesize models of the 
Velvet Underground in clay" in it...

This has surely been discussed on the list already, but could one of 
you experts make a list of the quotes and references in Tigermilk? as 
i know 2 (Hal Hartley quote in I Could Be Dreaming, Felt quote "the 
world is as soft as lace" in I Don't Love Anyone), the intricate 
lyrics lead to think that there must be more buried in the trenches. 

On the subject of Old Tom Morris' Panties (hey, why not rename the 
British Open like this ;), Ailsa wrote: 
>> Is anyone still looking for a chalet to share with (or people to 
share a chalet with, if you are going to be as pedantic as I am being 
whilst reading over this)?  I might know someone who can help you.  
(Privately, PLEASE!!!)  <<

that person would be me; there's now 3 places available in a cosy 
little chalet, all booked and ready... just say YES! is all you have 
to do! Or, almost. You'd still have to pay for your place I'm 
afraid... :)
Mail to me or to Ailsa or to both. 
See you there. Aloha.
