Good choice, Bretty.

As for reading I'm stuck with a really bad book right now but I have this thing: I always have to finish the book. I can't leave a book in the middle. So I'm gonna check your offers after I'm finished with this annoying one....50 pages to go...

The most eagle-eyed amongst you may have been numbed with excitement to discover that Brett has made another list of what he has been taking into his brain and that that list has been made public in the 'CULTURE' section of this very website.

In case you wanted to investigate further and make a judgement on the sanity of the selections on such a list (judgements could include: "Hmmm...That looks really good", "What is he thinking?" or, simply, "Well, i don't know....maybe...") you can follow these links in order to quench your ignorance...

In all honest, at least in my view, Nirvana were far more ground breaking at the time than Suede were. They were really something quite new, whereas Suede (brilliance aside) were likened to a combination of many things. True, they were doing stuff that their peers were not really doing, but in terms of sound they weren't as shockingly new as Nirvana were.]]> T-B-O-T-S Brett Anderson Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:10:46 +0200 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,220283,220304#msg-220304 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,220283,220304#msg-220304 I think that the Bernard years and the Richard years are very different, we're talking about 2 different Suedes here.

Suede started as a ground breaking band that had statements and something to say. It appealed people and touched many hearts out there.

The coming up suede was something completely different, it wasn't less good or anything, just different, and it made some new fans.

The die hard fans stayed cause again, Coming Up was a great album, but even today they all long to this band that shocked everyone, the band that broke conventions and took the attention from Nirvana a bit back then. That's the old Suede, the Bernard Suede. It's a fact.]]> 82 Brett Anderson Brett Anderson Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:38:04 +0200 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,220283,220303#msg-220303 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,220283,220303#msg-220303
I think The Tears was a bit doomed from the start. It is a shame they didn't go onto make a second record, but then again I don't think they ever would've stopped being asked "do you like each other", or other things related to Suede.

With the debut album, Brett clearly just didn't really know what sort of record to make - it is all over the place, but not (in my view) in a good way. I think the multiple versions of 'Back to You', an OK but not amazing song, was a bit like airing your dirty laundry in public. First the (in my view superior) Pleasure version, then the rather AOR rock version, then the duet version on Wilderness. It doesn't smack of an artist who is very confident in their work. The transition from that lack of confidence to 'Black Rainbows' is amazing.

With 'A New Morning' I think he was shocked, embarrassed and dissapointed by the #24 UK chart placing. They'd had THREE number one albums prior to that, so it isn't ever going to be seen as progress is it? The sad thing is, with a revised tracklist and the move of releasing 'Obsessions' as the first single, I think it would've been a bigger success.

Still, I am glad the Coming Up + Head Music line up are back together and working on new stuff, I genuine prefer that incarnation of Suede, though of course I love the Bernard era too. I think it is like liking two eras of Roxy Music. Thing is, it is fashionable to say the Bernard years are better... and there's not much you can do about that, other than to just ry and listen to any new music without prejudice.]]> T-B-O-T-S Brett Anderson Fri, 13 Apr 2012 10:52:23 +0200 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,64525,220298#msg-220298 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?4,64525,220298#msg-220298

Hm! When I turned 30 people told me 'old enough to know what you want, and still young to actually pursue this'. I think the same applies for the 40s. But I do wonder if there is such a thing really like 'wasted time'. You could argue there is a point in everything you do - so also in the lows. But I won't bore this forum with my views on these matters. It is relevant though when we want to determine if there is a drive for Brett to compensate things or not. Perhaps he simply operates from the present, not looking back at all.]]> zarathus Brett Anderson Sun, 08 Apr 2012 20:39:15 +0200 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,220283,220296#msg-220296 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,220283,220296#msg-220296
Now that Brett is passed the 40 bench mark, and obviously with regret for some time wasted (via drugs, or the wrong decisions...whatever) he has a great sense of urgency, a fire in his belly, and really the best work comes from that - so watch this space. I am quietly confident that Suede should be able to come up with some excellent stuff. Here's hoping they can find the right producer to coax the very best out of them!]]> T-B-O-T-S Brett Anderson Sat, 07 Apr 2012 16:21:08 +0200 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?3,2232,220289#msg-220289 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?3,2232,220289#msg-220289 Gerry General Discussion Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:02:22 +0200 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,219986,220284#msg-220284 http://brettanderson.co.uk/forum/read.php?2,219986,220284#msg-220284
Haha! Thanks for the heads-up 82. Never heard of it. I'm currently stranded into a John Keats-phase I'm affraid. Spring is such a lovely time of the year to read and write poetry. It will take me a while to finish his poems.

Hope you're well.

Btw, to avoid hermeneutic flaws: I'm not expressing a preference and/or a (to my knowledge) hidden feeling on the chosen scenario. I'm just a bit curious.
