I love Tindersticks. The first album will always be one of my favourites ever! I went on holiday somewhere with my parents just after it came out, and it was the only record I had to listen to so I ended up playing it to death. I need to get the latest few of releases... I'm slipping behind. |

Yeah, they're awesome. Chamber Pop is good for what ails you. I just recently heard Waiting for the Moon and it was one of the few albums of 2003 that didn't let me down (coughHailtotheTheifcough). Not as good as Curtains or some earlier ones, but it's excellent. I think the reason I looked into Tindersticks originally was one of your posts about them once a year and a half ago, I downloaded the track and loved it. |

how big are they in uk? are they more of an alternative band, are there any videos being played on mtv? i have no idea about this, as i dont watch tv or listen to radio...i got to know them through claire denises films...especially "nenette et boni" |
||||||||

they're playing here this evening!!! and im going :) |
||||||||

you dont hear much of them my wife got me into them the closest ive heard to them being played on mainsteam is when radio 1 had them as a record of the week on one of its shows |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
record of the week? they must be pretty popular then...well, i heard they are really good playing live, so im looking forward hearing them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a dj choice kind of thing its irrelevant as to if anybody in the public likes it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see...they seem to be quite popular here in my town, they apperantly sold about 700 tickets already and it is now almost seld out... the devastations will open for them, but i dont know what they're like...they better be good :) |

i just got back from the concert...it was amazing!!! one of my favourite concerts, and i saw quite many. they're brilliant musicians, they sound even better live than they do on records and i was amazed by the voice of stuart staples - really incredible...i often was disappointed by various singers when i heard them live cos obviously their voice for the records is mastered in studio, but hearing stuart - his voice is even more beautiful and powerful live. it was great ambient, beautiful hall, great lightning, superb sound, we were all sitting and totally enjoying the music...tindersticks seem to also enjoy what they're doing a lot, really nice, cool guys! towards the end, carla torgerson (the walkabouts) joined them and they did a beautiful song together...she was in the town by incidence...what i mean is, she wasnt supposed to perform at this concert but since she was in the town she joined them on stage (she was probably here visiting chris eckman, who now lives here in my hometown - he was on the concert as well, btw). i will most definitely try to see them again some time - wonderful musicians!!! |

Sounds like it was awesome, except for the ''lightning!'' I listened to the Bloomsbury Theatre live album once, haven't really gotten into it but what I heard was great, especially the arrangements. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, i put it wrong there, what i meant is it was great lighting (not lightning) :) im not sure what you mean by arrnagements (as i havent heard that album), but if you mean how they performed songs live, i must say that they played them exactly like they are on albums...i just cant get it out of my head...really a beautiful show alltogether |
||||||||

Arrangements as in the instruments they use, they had lots of lush strings and things, made the recordings sound x-quisite. Not raw like a lot of live stuff, but still powerful. You = lucky |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"Not raw like a lot of live stuff, but still powerful" that is very true...sounds so tender and so effective and apperantly each of them can play lots of instruments, cos they were changing quite a lot...drummer played keyboards and xylophone, guitarist also played some keyboards and was constantly changing from acoustic to electric guitar, the violinist also sang couple of songs - and no need to mention he sings good haha...apperantly there should be dvd from their live apperance (aperances?) released some time soon, which i'll be definitely getting...their show is a lot like that portisheads in NYC some years back - unfortunately i wasnt there, but i have the dvd and im loving it :) they definitely made my day! |

in case anyone's interested in playlist :), here are some of the songs they played (i dont know the titles of other songs unfortunately...) -say good bye to the city -waiting for the moon -my oblivion -night in -my sister -el diablo en el ojo -seaweed (i think) -just a dog -running wild |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here's the right setlist... not many fans around here i see patchwork waiting for the moon say goodbye to the city running wild sometimes it hurts until the morning comes my oblivion my sister she's gone cherry blossoms el diablo en el ojo a night in bathtime raindrops -------------- city sickness jism -------------- travelling light walking |

thanks for the link, tolstoyed :) |

I really love the Tindersticks, they have this unique sound, not only because of Stuart's voice. Check out Belle & Sebastian's new record if you're into this whole Cahmber Pop thing. It's an awesome record. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're very welcome :) hewhocannotbena: i'll check it, thanks, i remember listening to them long time ago even before i was into tindersticks and i apperantly wasnt into this kind of music at that time, but i'll definitely check their new one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, will check 'em out. Obviously I have heard some of their material before, but I've never really been convinced. |

I really like the "trouble every day" soundtrack. very nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, their weakest soundtrack imo...check nenette et boni soundtrack if you haven't yet, or maybe the one for vendredi soir if it's available... |

I have left instructions for "For those..." to be played at my funeral. I played the first two albums to death, I had Tindersticks II on vinyl so i would spend all afternoon turning the discs over. Being a student then I had the time. The words "4 a.m. 6 feet down. Already up with the larks" from Cherry Blossoms always break my already thoroughly broken heart. |

Travelling light is one of my all-time favourite songs... but from between first hearing the track to actually waking up and saying "hey, get some muthafuckin tindersticks, alex" has taken a long long time. I WILL get round to it. |
||||||||

I haven't seen Nlogax around in a very long time. Oh yeah and Tindersticks rox whooooo! I listened to Waiting for the Moon the other day. What's up with the title? Any relation to that Doors album? Probably not. It's a pretty generic sounding phrase. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, i was just thinking that...so i checked, and apperantly last post by nlogax was something over a month ago...seems longer tho. i don't know anything about that phrase im affraid, but you're probably right. |
||||||||
|

i watched a replay of that gig today...it's wonderful!! don't miss a chance to see them live...you won't be sorry! |

i'm a big fan of their early albums (first 2). i owuldn't say they've gone shit after those but they like have less taste. compos are more banal, arrangements too. less creative. like they lost it. like they had something to say, said it, and tried continuing when they had done their part. |
||||||||

their first album was my companion, along with 16 horsepower's sackcloth n ashes. listened to it with headphones all the time... anxious days of mine, far away, bye bye! great, great albums though, maybe they prevented me from falling downer than what the express... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 (artisanal hearts line made without the use of copy-paste functions) |

I do agree, loved the first two albums, played them to death. Then Curtains came and it was like, ok... but then, as you say, I think the band said everything pretty early on and there wasn't much need to carry on, just watering down the sound...hhmmm, I don't know. They're a band that I loved very much, and still hold a special place in my heart, but I don't listen to anything released after Curtains. |
||||||||
|
|

i prefer their earlier stuff as well, although i like the later too. score for nenette et boni is what got me into them. im for ever thankfull to claire denis for that :) |
