Sinister: belle in sun and tinder in winter

[Jan Imgrund]

Bonjour la liste,

> i reckon most b&s songs were written in sunny 
> weather, they sound warm to me

Hey, this is extremely true. They sound like lying on your back in 
the sun, in a park, where there are quite improbably no ghetto-
blasters blasting rap-songs near you, and thinking of complicated, 
but very harmless nonsense... 
and this brings me to a (very) late follow-up to the question of the 
difference between B&S and Tindersticks music: they are both warm, 
but Tindersticks is the warmth of sitting inside, staring at the 
chimney fire and sipping some expensive alcoholic drink while there 
is a major snowstorm going on outside; while B&S is the warmth of a 
sunny day, sitting on a blanket in a park, sipping some non-
expensive, non-alcoholic drink, and so on (see above). B&S is a 
summer band and Tindersticks a winter-band. Too bad that 
Tindersticks' new album is due to release in August...
Good that this problem is solved now. 
But there still is another problem: why are there so many B&S fans 
who are also Pulp fans, like myself? I cannot see that these 2 have 
anything in common, except that the music is extremely good. Please 
help. 

Oh, and I recruited my first B&S fan! I am proud. But I must admit it 
was very easy: she was a Nick Drake fan already. Being a fan of Nick 
Drake and never hearing of B&S: what a terrible fate. Like being 
catholic and never having heard of the pope. But who is still 
catholic, nowadays. Ironic sigh. 

S&M and Bible studies, 
Jan
