BritPop band Saint Etienne are playing at the Metro in Chicago and I'm gonna see them!

I love me some Sarah Cracknell.

Anyone else gonna see StEt soon?

I have a peripheral liking for Saint Etienne. I got kinda burned out on them in college, because my roommate only listened to two things - Saint Etienne and Morrissey! Just from living with the dude for a year, I know these two albums by heart:

and

I think I had nightmares about Only Love Can Break Your Heart for a good half-decade.

those are my two least favorite saint etienne albums, which isn't to say i dislike them. they've just done such better music since then.

I like them both, I just...can never hear them again. Which do you think is their best album?

probably tiger bay, though i really love good humor...it sounds like fleetwood mac meets burt bacharach. fleetwood bacharach.

Anx said:

Saying "Bacharach" to me is like offering crack to Whitney. I'm gonna take a listen.

in that case, 'the misadventures of saint etienne' would be a total "show me the receipts" moment for you.

Anx said:

Okay, that's one's totally...
