This did that to me first time I heard it: youtu.be/NLURgkx5eqg

Still does, most times.

# a bit too bumford and sons for me
I've been listening to Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden on loop this evening, still blows me away. Think I might have paid £15 for that in HMV the day it came out, worth 10 times that the number of times I've listened to it since then.

# Idlewild are not Bumfucker and Friends!
Even when Woomble is going off on one on folk. I even bought the Mumford and Sons album (probably from HMV) and rarely have I been more disappointed by something I was assured was "modern folk" (it's not), "fantastic!" (it's not), "harmonious", "ethereal" and all of that rot. Pah.

# absolutely
I like Woomble (Secret is my Silence is a good bit of songwriting), but prefer Kris Drever

# That is certainly a very good album :)
Probably Patrick Spence is my favourite on there. "Interesting" fact: when you look at who played on that Idlewild track it turns out it was actually the band from the first album, so Drever's on guitar along with Jones and I'd put money on it being cowritten by Drever and McCusker.

# Funny you should mention Spirit Of Eden
I suddenly thought of it last night for the first time in many years. Probably time to listen to it again I think.

# That and Laughing Stock never gets old.
I had no idea what to think about either at first, which is usually a good sign to me. That is as powerful as music can possibly get as far as I know.
