It must be really popular because loads of people are
downloading it from me on Slsk.

I do give a fuck about it actually, and I'd have it in my
hands now if I had the cash and a decent record store
nearby. :) I've heard it's good. Should I pick up this or
Anomie and Bonhomie first? They're the two I have left to
get.

Get this. Anomie and Bonhomie is okay, but it's more like
some middle aged guy trying to make a 1999 underground hip
hop record.
White Bread, Black Beer is just a great collection of pop
songs. It's my second favourite after Cupid.

oh wow.. excellent. I will, thanks. you've inadvertently
turned me on to some great stuff already so I'm sure you're
correct. :) I got Provision and Songs to Remember about
three or four weeks ago.. Provision is fantastic, I think
"All that we Are' is my favorite Scrit song altogether.
Songs to Remember is okay but it's just a little too
different and archaic.. still some gems though. It's very
hard to not to like any song with the words 'I'm in
love with Jacques Derrida' in it.. :)

What's your slsk name? This sounds appealing, but I'm all
queued up and I'm too shy to ask the guy to do me a favor.

Scritti Politti is by far the best band to turn up on my
radar (thanks to swears) in the past year.. I've been buying
it compulsively. It's pretty saccharine at times though,
better have a strong stomach! :)

I love their 80s stuff but never bothered to look into
anything past that... I guess because old people are
unappealing. But when swears speaks, you have to listen, or
be left out in the cold.

(nothing can be ''too saccharine'' anyway)

BTW nevermind I got it going, I'm stealing with aplomb

agree

didn't realize you were already hip to the Scrit!

while we're on the subject of record recommendations, I took
your advice when I was in London two weeks ago and bought
Tuxedomoon's 'Ghost Sonata'.. not what I was expecting, but
really good! Took me a little while to wrap my head around
it.

I don't think I would have recommended Ghost Sonata, I'm
more a fan of their earlier, more abstract stuff... I bet I
told you to get Half Mute. I do that all the time. But GS is
awesome too, I love ''Les Odalisques''. Glad you like it.

well ive been listening to scritti politti now for 2 months
solid. 'cupid and psyche' defines the winter just passed.
its gotten to the point where i plan to go out and buy
'white bread, black beer' tomorrow, and i even like half of
'anomie and bonhomie' :) green gartside is my favourite
artist in 2006.

and now im getting around to checking out the related
artists from the period. i love all the mad 79-80's english
post punk, which often sounds like three genres at once!

give "the ghost sonata" some time. it's kind of "music to
play in the dark" ;]

wow! I'm glad I just happened to stumble back into this
topic.

I will give Ghost Sonata another spin.. I listened to it
several times when I first got it and liked it but sort of
shelved it after that. I'll try playing it in complete
darkness as per your suggestion. Wasn't there originally a
performance aspect to it, like a play? That probably would
have been really cool to see when it first came out.
