A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Avatar This Is The Modern World with Trouble Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 9:30am
Adrian in London:

And by 'given up' I meant on music for a while, not on life or anything! I think it was people like Devendra Banhart who encouraged her to record again. I did read when her last album came out that she went to her local college to learn music production on Logic etc and they wouldn;t let her join because they said she was too old. So she taught herself. She's Vashti Bunyan for God's sake!

"Saint Etienne Present Songs for the Carnegie Deli" is the most intriguing title I've seen in a long time. I'm reading about it, and it seems that the guy who put it together has it in his head that the Carnegie Deli is a diner. Reminds me of the time I heard a Brit fellow on stage at a downtown venue refer to an afterparty at "Katz's Diner". Newbies ...

Hey, random question, but I'm doing a design project for a client and he's given me a picture of this band, and we're trying to figure out who it is. It's not REM is it? Doesn't look like Michael Stipe, but it could be the angle. Did a reverse image search online but no luck... Thanks! picasaweb.google.com...

I'm pretty sure it's REM. That looks like Peter Buck and his Rickenbacker in the background. The image is flipped though, so he looks like he's playing left-handed.

They could be like the Ramones or the Donnas, everybody in the band's name ends in "Michael Stipe"
