Fantastic Review Im not even going to try to add as you summed it all up perfectly I am a big fan this kind of music Leonard Cohen Scott Walker , Velvets , cinematic music of Wim Wenders films such as Nick Cave , Crime and City Solution Wolfgang Press and of course Tom Waits This is a masterpiece Ok so lets address the curveball Crispin Glover This guy is a friggin genius or a nut-job but i guess the best leave us guessing Re watched Rivers Edge recently and its still as good as ever What a fascinating character One can only hope that David Lynch will someday make another movie starring Crispin Glover and soundtracked by the great Tindersticks I will leave with a question Is Caleb Landry Jones as weird as Crispin and headed down same career path Have you heard his music ?

@@jessem470 Hi Jesse! 👋 Thank you so much for your wonderful words of support as regards this review, and for the time to watch and post 😊🙏 Great calls on Leonard Cohen and Wolfgang Press too, as I can see/hear/understand why you would think of these two artists when listening to ‘TINDERSTICKS’. I couldn’t agree more that it’s a masterpiece - an album I know I will continue to come back to through the years I have to come, just as I have come back to it over the years since it’s been in my life. It’s a staggering achievement, truly. I’m ALWAYS happy to discuss Crispin Glover, so let’s do this! 😆 He’s tied in my all-time top five fave actors, which also includes Spader, Oldman, Dourif, Rourke and Penn. Crispin is a true genius, a real one-off, and ‘River’s Edge’ boasts one of my all-time fave performances of his as the unforgettable (and yes, fascinating) Layne. It’s a wonderful film that I’m always quick to recommend to those not familiar with it, so I’m delighted to be in the company of someone who knows the film and is a fan of it too 😊 I would love for Lynch and Glover to team up again, as they did so wonderfully in ‘Wild at Heart’ ♥️ I actually wrote a song about Crispin’s character in ‘Wild at Heart’, Cousin Dell, many many moons ago before the hair went grey and a bit of weight was piled on, but hey I’ve just renewed my gym membership so that’s a work in progress again - at least it will be next month, when I’m eligible to start back! 😆 As for the grey hair, I embraced that long ago and have no issue with it at all. Anyhow, all that aside, hopefully this link will work and you can listen to a much younger me playing ‘Cousin Dell’: kzitem.info/news/bejne/rZVvzpd6fYx4koYfeature=shared As for Tindersticks providing the soundtrack to a David Lynch film, that would be all kinds of glorious! Now, regarding Caleb Landry Jones… He is a very interesting and talented actor from what I know of him, but I feel he has some way to go before he can be considered as weird as Crispin. He has the potential to share Crispin’s podium, given the chosen career path, but I’m not sure he’s there just yet. For me, Crispin is my undisputed ‘Wizard of Odd’ 🧙 I admire Caleb’s eccentricities, but would currently bracket his ‘weirdness levels’ alongside the likes of Brad Dourif (a phenomenal actor) and Jeremy Davies (Crispin-esque in the affected mannerisms etc.). I haven’t heard any of Caleb’s music, but you already have me wondering if it’s as weird as Crispin’s! Thank you as always for your time and support, Christian

@@jessem470 I’m not going to lie, Jesse… it was kind of surreal - but also kind of nice - to have someone quote back to me a line from one of my own songs, and describe it as ‘classic’. Thank you so, so much 🙏 You have now mentioned another one of my all-time-fave filmmakers in Jim Jarmusch! I may even prefer Jim, just slightly, to Wim! Yes, I enjoyed Caleb’s performance in ‘The Dead Don’t Die’, as it added an ‘essence’ to the film I felt was warranted. Not one of my fave Jarmusch films, but I certainly didn’t dislike it. In fact, I have enjoyed all of Jim’s films, just to varying degrees. Please pick a Caleb song for me and I’ll check him out! Best wishes, Christian

Hi Chris, Thanks for fulfilling my request in reviewing one of my suggestions. I very much enjoyed hearing what you’ve reckoned to the album. I’ve loved the album’s Spanish dancer front cover too! I once bought a print of it on Earlestown’s flea market. It was on my bedroom wall for several years! You’re right it’s been a popular painting. It was once on a wall during an episode of Only Fools and Horses! 😂 This album has been my second fave album of the 1990s. Here’s my top ten: Matthew Sweet - Altered Beast Tindersticks - 1st Album The Posies - Frosting on the Beater Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Prefab Sprout - Jordan the Comeback The Divine Comedy - Promenade Saint Etienne - So Tough Aimee Mann - I'm With Stupid Michael Penn - Free For All Jeff Buckley - Grace I’ve told you I’ve loved the Matthew Sweet album. His big fans have tended to prefer it to the more well-known Girlfriend. I’ve thought the greatness of the Tindersticks album owes a lot to the expanded line up the band had at that time with guest members. I’ve felt Dickon Hinchliffe was a key member and I’ve loved Terry Edwards’ contributions to “The Not Knowing”. I’m not so sure about some of the influences you mention. I’ve thought the band had a lot of originality for one thing. You mention Nick Cave, but not The Triffids. I know Stuart Staples has cited David McComb as an influence. He performed songs by The Triffids at a McComb tribute concert around 15 years ago. I haven’t thought Morphine an obvious influence. Cure for Pain for me best typifies that band’s sound. It came out the same year as the Tindersticks album, but later. I did see Morphine live on the Cure for Pain tour. I agree you can get an awful lot out of the Tindersticks album. In that sense, it is indeed like a book/film. You did a good job at trying to analyse the album. A lot of its appeal to me is its sense of mystery though which you did touch on as well. I’ve also very much loved its vibrancy and eclecticism. Thanks so much for sharing what you’ve reckoned! Phil p.s. Tindersticks are still a great band for me, even though they’re quite different these days with the line up having changed. I’m looking forward to their next album due out in September.

@@philo9027 Hi Phil 😊👋 Always a pleasure to hear from you, my friend. You’re more than welcome as regards fulfilling your review request. I was more than happy to do it and had a great time revisiting an old favourite once again. I am very pleased indeed to hear you very much enjoyed hearing what I had to say about ‘TINDERSTICKS’ - and I’m delighted you’re a fan of ‘The Red Dress’ too 😊 Earlestown Flea Market is the best in the land, as far as I’m concerned, so it’s only fitting you found a print there of such a fabulous painting 🎨 I’ll have to keep a lookout for it too the next time I’m binge-watching ‘Only Fools’! 😆 I love your list of fave ‘90s albums and I’m pleased to be a) familiar with all of them and b) to have a few of them in my vinyl collection. I know your love for Matthew Sweet runs deep, and he really is one of the artists I should have mentioned at the start of the vid, when I rhymed off a number of bands/artists I have you to thank for getting me into 🙏 I thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughts on ‘TINDERSTICKS’ - both in relation as to what I had to say and what you have brought to the discussion. I agree with you about the greatness of the music being down to the expanded lineup, although I stand by the influences I cited in the video. Their sound has originality - primarily through Stuart Staples’ utterly unique voice - but I can trace a lot of the musicality to various sources (namely the ones I mentioned). They mine their sources tremendously, but the roots and influences are very much there, although I admire their ability to shapeshift sonically (a point I revisit on more than occasion). I do concede though that not mentioning The Triffids as regards their sound (I only mentioned them in reference to you getting me into them, so they kind of were referenced 😉) was an oversight. Now you mention it, The Triffids thing is rather obvious - especially on a track such as ‘Jism’. I am pleased to learn that Staples has cited McComb as an influence and I would love to hear him singing during the tribute concert! With Morphine, it’s more a mood they conjure with their music that puts me in the same headspace as when I’m listening to Tindersticks. I feel there’s parallels between the two bands as regards what they’re striving for, and what their baselines are. There’s some musical similarity for me too, but it’s just a bit more subtle than some of the other names in the discussion. Lovely to learn you have seen Morphine live too! To conclude my response, I was so happy to read in your concluding thoughts to me that I touched upon some areas you agreed with - especially as regards where the album’s appeal lies (mystery, for example). I am really looking forward to September too, when the next album is due! Thanks again for your time and support, Phil. Best wishes, Chris
