Whilst shuffling through the cheapo shelf of Castle Records in Loughborough at the weekend, I met a Mesh album.

Now, Mesh are on my list of "bands my friends like, which I've probably heard at some point, and should look into". I think snow_leopard had a Mesh album with her at Whitby last April, which I kind of liked (is this right?).

Since this (it's called lowercase) was only three quid, I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Closer inspection, however, reveals that the band is called Mesh StL. But the word is written in the font I associate with Mesh. I've just tried to investigate at www.meshstl.com, but the site pissed me off by having non-negotiable audio. Can anyone tell me what's going on ? Are they different bands ?

They're different bands.

That's me told :)

Ah well. Soon as I've finished ripping the album, I shall know if one of them is any good.

If it is, that'll be another fine mesh you've gotten into ;)

In answer to your query, YES I did have a Mesh album with me at Whitby last time and yes you did seem to rather like it.

Ah, thanks. I seem to have the ability to remember I like a band, without actually retaining any memory of what they actually sound like.

Now listening to In This Place Forever, courtesy of Mysterious MP3 Benefactor Number 2, and it doesn't sound in the least familiar! Not even in a heard-something-else-by-them way. Oh well :)

Having now listened to Mesh StL, they sound a bit like Alien Ant Farm, too :)

Obviously my description of the day.
