I love B & S. I listened to Boy with an Arab Strab obsessively when I first got it. And Fold Your Hands... is a great album. I have almost everything that's been released in the U.S. and I just never get tired of them. They sound like these happy Scottish pixies, and then the lyrics are just something else entirely. So yummy.
And yeah, the FB jones was a total surprise, but it kicked me into gear. I started responding to other people's work, which was good, but then it made me think of why I didn't always respond - whether out of intimidation, or lack of coherent thought because something was so good, or sometimes because I like the piece but just didn't have anything meaningful to say besides that. I am really interested in what other writers think about reader participation, how the internet and instant feedback have changed their writing or effected it, and what they do when something has been interpreted in a way that they didn't intend. It has to happen, right? I mean, for more reasons than a lack of skill on the part of the writer, or a lack of paying attention on the part of the reader. Watch as all of my Post modern training surfaces:)
