when broadcast's trish keenan reassures me that "there's bound to be a place", promises she'll "tell [me] if i change", claims I "won't be alone", I believe every word. clanging, metallic, detuned electronics behind her plaintive, detached (and seldom conventionally emotive) vocals has me flashing on one of those animatronic gypsy fortune-teller machines (a la "big"), and she becomes an omnipotent robo-guardian angel/guidance counsellor. who do you trust?

Ack. And here I was thinking this was going to be about the great French metal band, Trust.

I trust the Deutsche Grammophon record label. They have released a wide variety of high quality recordings of classical music. In addition, they have an attractive logo and excellent cover design.
I generally trust good looking people more than not good looking people. Attractive people are usually more confident and make me feel at ease. This occasionally affects my attitudes towards music. However, music itself is usually more persuasive than looks. For instance, I adore Jim Hall's music despite not finding him particularly good looking. I trust his artistic judgement. On the other hand, while I greatly admire this handsome picture of Gustav Mahler, it has not made me willing to sit through an entire symphony. I'm not convinced that it will be worth it. He has not earned my trust.
I trust Ned Raggett and Dan Perry. They are both avid fans of the Cure and Depeche Mode. As I am also an avid fan of both groups, I feel that they are probably good guys...Perhaps not, though. I haven't met them or anything.

Heh. I thought this was going to be about the Low album.

I don't trust anyone. Every band, every record label, every music critic, every whoever has screwed me over at least once. I'm taking so many grains of salt these days I've got to monitor my blood pressure.

okay, so which album/song "narrators" do you trust? (good god will i never ever ask a somewhat well-responded to ilm question)

I wish I could trust the tastes certain folks like Lester Bangs, Julian Cope, John Peel or Nick Hornby, but while I'm completely in agreement with what these (and other) luminaries have to say on certain bits of music, they all seem to zealously like stuff that I consider indefensible crap as well. Nick Hornby even cites "I'm Like a Bird" by Nelly Furtado as one of his favorite ever songs (I've already waxed lividly about his on another thread, pardon my repetition). If I wasn't already in awe and admiration of his work, I'd completley write him off based on this.

mitch, i'm so sorry

(i wish i had an answer if only to finally actually answer it)

I trust Ivory Joe Hunter since he seems to inhabit the personas of his records so well and in fact just drips sincerity.

Sonic Boom, definitely Sonic Boom. I also trust Mark from the Chameleons, especially after seeing them in concert. Adrian Borland from the Sound; also Stevie Nicks (which is probably a bad thing).
