I don't love it at all and have vocally preferred both Rubber Soul and Revolver.
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
(Actually, I really like "A Day In the Life," but was going for the symmetry, y'know.)
Smartass. Well, pot. kettle, so... Maybe it wasn't ever the music, more like the ambition of it? Or maybe people have a special, fond, place for the music they get high to. Besides college.
For the British people (person? Jim?) on the thread, from mountain-goats.com:
And now the news: we're coming to London! It's part of 4AD's birthday bash: tickets are available here and also at a site so flash-heavy that it kept freezing my browser, so I ain't wanna link it directly, but it's called Eat Your Own Ears and is visually quite pleasing. Regarding the show itself: I know who the special guests are, and it's totally exciting, but rabid KGB agents could not make me squeal, so haters are advised to step right off. Should anyone need during my offhours in London, you need probably look no further than your nearest Indian takeaway. I cannot get enough of the Indian takeaway.
Who would be the special guests at a 4AD birthday bash? Hmmm...

Pixies! Throwing Muses! Cocteau Twins! This Mortal Coil alumni! Dead Can Dance!
Oh, it's gots to be the Pixies. Have they played the UK on this tour?
ETA: Actually, it could easily be more than one of the above, given the occasion...!
Hey, Hec, I should have said this a while ago, but I really like "Beatnik Boy." Thanks.

You're welcome. You might want to do further inspection of Tallulah Gosh/Heavenly/Marine Institute.

My sources say Talulah.
Ooh! Free Amazon.com download of "Pastels Badge"! Awesome! Ah, it's live.
Knowing my luck I'd go to that 4AD thing and find it was X Mal Deutschland and Vaughan Oliver shouting drunken abuse about "that ripoff bastard Dave McKean".
If you want a primer on that whole Talulah Gosh sound try the Rough Trade Indie Pop 1 compilation, which despite having the wrong early Primals track is essential.
