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"

I think they played in Oslo in september, but I missed it;
didn't even hear about it until a few weeks ago.. Gonna
catch 'em next time, for sure

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!

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.

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.

longer tho. i don't know anything about that phrase im

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...

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.
