Actually, I've always been interested in getting me some B&S.....let me know what you think. (I did actually bid for two of their albums on eGay once, thinking nobody's going to want this stuff, then only to be outbid at the last second at which point I just gave up on eBay forever because shit like that just pisses me off).
Also, did you ever get any The Fucking Champs?

Black Winter Day said:Hey Jay, you fucking spide!
Eh, I just did the same thing to someone for "Down Among the Deadmen"... literally outbid them by $.01 at the last minute.
As for B&S, the rule is generally to get the first two and pretend the rest never came out. The one I own is "If You're Feeling Sinister" and it's pretty fuckin' mellow and sweet. Sorta happy acoustic-guitar, Syd Barret vocals, horns, tambourines, indie rock stuff. It's stuff you put on on those spring mornings when you REALLY REALLY want to skip class/work... it'll either make you smile or break the CD in half.
I think the real question is did YOU get any The Fucking Champs? Seriously, this is just riff after riff after lead after riff! I think the one I have is IV (or the one with the Bach cover on it). It ruuuulllesss...
JayKeeley said:I have no idea what a spide is but I'm laughing anyway.
Yes, that is one I bid for. The other one was "Boy with the Arab Strap" or something? I hear such good things about them both, and I like the samples. Sunday morning music like Travis and Swans.
I'm still devouring their Weakling release, the epic that it is.
