i reviewed this for the arts cafe - shameless plug - though it's just a review - it's my favourite review, yet! so if you happen to read next week's nme - look at it and tell me if you enjoyed that style of writing. you can hurt me, i've got a tough yet heavy heart!

the band itself? i could see them on a breakthrough - post-rocker turning into kingsbury manx, shock - and as well - have the kingsbury manx, broke up.

I wanted to go, but I went to review of Montreal instead. (Really, not a shameless plug, either, though slagging off B&S in the DiS review sure started a tempest in a teapot) and boy am I glad that I did, because they were amazing in a Dukes of Stratosphear sort of way.

Glad that WFTD were good, I would still like to see them sometime...

Are Kingsbury Manx an instrumentals group? Not sure if I know them in that case. Neither of the Windsor for the Derby albums I own have vocals on them.

Unless the new album came out about five years ago, then, no I don't. Tell me about it?

at work - but it's rather a change - folk rock - traditional - in the style of kingsbury manx or the rev. causing a stir - because well - it's beautiful. the album is called 'the emotional rescue' ... a classic ... out january 9th.

live - it's sort of like when the byrds played - very loud, jangly, rickenbachers...they did this amazing cover of section 25 which i swear was like yo la tengo imitating velvet underground...a disco classic, obviously.

but much different, paula. you have to get.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Your descriptions make it sound different and good. Especially "at work"...lazy groops suk.

Yup, great album. I have about three or four Windsor albums and I like them all right. Might need to relisten to them all to pinpoint why!

four years pass...

i've been hooked on "awkwardness" again, four years later. such a great song, beats the pants off any new order songs on their last album; like a lost cousin to 'the last dance' (disco inferno)

three years pass...
