About The Raincoats

CDs and digital downloads currently available from roughtrade.com

"I don't know anything about The Raincoats except that they recorded some music that has affected me so much that whenever I hear it I'm reminded of a particular time when I was (shall we say) extremely unhappy, lonely and bored. If it weren't for the luxury of putting on that scratchy copy of The Raincoats' first record, I would have had very few moments of peace. I suppose I could have researched a bit of history about the band but I feel it's more important to delineate the way I feel and how they sound.

When I listen to The Raincoats I feel as if I'm a stowaway in an attic, violating and in the dark. Rather than listening to them I feel like I'm listening in on them. We're together in the same old house and I have to be completely still or they will hear me spying from above and, if I get caught - everything will be ruined because it's their thing. They're playing their music for themselves. It's not as sacred as wire-tapping a buddhist monk's telephone or something because if The Raincoats did catch me, they would probably just ask me if I wanted some tea. I would comply, then they would finish playing their songs and I would say thank you very much for making me feel good."

Kurt Cobain, June 1993.

Alight	May 11 2008 12:36 PM you know what I think? I think everyone wants to be heard, and to communicate with everyone else in the world, which is basically like being famous, which means everyone could be 'famous' if we all communicated together and express ourselves..and everyone listened. yeah..love your music to death! bye
The Detonates	May 7 2008 1:44 PM your music is cool!! xo
Cunt Chocula.	May 7 2008 1:03 PM ...Well, I am just appalled! There aren't any chords/tabs by you guyses. I have googled, yahoo'd, you name it babes! I find it..quite & rather disheartening. I'd appreciate it on a high degree if you guys could post some. Any would do, esp. The Void. I've been working on guitar for a couple of months & I'd like to play some songs of preference & do my own shitty rendition for fun. Take it easy. I enjoy your music. p.s. people from the outside are grand. -medi j (yanna)
