# I shall give them a listen
Even if it does feel weird taking musical advice from someone who is more or less half my age...


Edit: Despite myself, I've enjoyed both of these.

# SHe's got great taste
her age belies her musical wisdom. The fatheral unit she was supplied with is well musically versed as well.

KK - do you know of Trespassers WIlliam?

# She's American but somehow likes (and has even heard of) the Fratellis
which is certainly a good start.

Now to get her onto Idlewild.

# they have an interesting career arc
that's from their first album, back in the days when they were basically punk. over the next few albums they flirted with rem-like folk rock, then with u2-like stadium rock, then more rem, and then told the lead singer to fuck off and record his damned fucking folk albums under his own name so that they could get back to playing rock. he did (and they're superb too, if you like folk), they did.

they're still a great band, but the early stuff has a ramshackle charm about it.

# Wait...
What does being American have to do with it? I'm American...

And I like them just fine.

What about these fellows?

# Didn't know the Fratellis had broken at all in the States
But I've been proven wrong in the past :)


Edit: There's something very early-mid 90s about them. They remind me quiet a bit of the Wannadies, actually.

# well the two of you have managed to get the whole of costello music stuck in my head

# Yeah
I've got a phone interview for a job I really want. After they told me I shouldn't need a phone interview because they already know me.

Actually I'm going to have to go to bed now to make sure I can be up early enough to actually read over what I put in my application to prepare. But rest assured that we shall be back to Pan-shaped apocalyptic normality tomorrow. (And if you missed yesterday's, it's here: www.b3ta.com/board/9816354)

OK, to bed, perchance to dream.

Straylight only have 2 full albums but I have them both and I can't listen to much else right now. Except City and Colour and the Fratellis. As I said. x]

# I preferred the Straylight to the City and Colour
but I think I'll acquire both of them. Thanks for the links :)

# Yeah Straylight it amazing.
Their two albums are Straylight Run and The Needles The Space. Both are equally good.
