Guest Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 actually, joking aside, I am well chuffed this year. the missus and me started courting (isn't that a great word!!) 20 years ago or so. the soundtrack to our romance (among other things - but this was the dominant note) was a tape that she had that someone at Uni had made for her. on one side was Tracy Thorn: "A Distant Shore" and on the other side was Ben Watt "North Marine Drive" they recorded these solo albums when they met at Uni (they are still together now) - and before they hit the big-time with Everything But The Girl and collaborations with Massive Attack I don't expect anyone to recognise the albums - they are quite obscure - but the lyrics are penetratingly sharp about love - and what relationships are about... anyway - we lost the tape... (and neither of us has seen or heard it since we got married...) in time for Valentines day I managed to find CD versions of both solo albums!! (ebay!!) HOW COOL IS THAT!!! not only can we relive those early days of young love - but we can hear those songs for the first time without the tape hiss!!! the missus is well pleased!

bronze Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I've been trying to get hold of it. Last thing I knew it was out of print. This is what they said on amazon Ben Watt's Patient is not the memoir one might expect from half of the pop duo Everything But The Girl. This is no star diary, no ordinary account of songwriting or performances, but a harrowing tale of Watt's battle with a rare life- threatening disease that ravaged his innards and left him with only three feet of intestine. This brush with death compelled Watt to write--the first thing he's "done apart from making records," and Patientchronicles the months of intense pain and idleness he spent in hospitals. Watt's prose, in a simple lyrical style that recall his songs, pulls the reader to his bedside as he alternates between drug-induced hazes and excruciatingly clear visions of his life. The disorientation and fear grow more palpable as his story unfolds. He likens his first major illness to a trip up a mountain: bearings are lost as vestiges of individuality and pride fall away in the fight for survival. Day and night become indistinguishable, and the line between awareness and unconsciousness blurs. Despite the nightmarish nature of his ordeal, Watt manages tender reflections on his family life and his relationship with fellow bandmember and girlfriend, Tracey Thorn Sorry back to valentines day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
