The gorgeousness of 'Fugitive Motel' seconded. It's a much warmer record than Asleep In The Back, it's got this lovely soothing amniotic feel about it.
What I really like about it is that I know 100% that I don't love it as much as I will. Immediacy isn't an Elbow strong point - it took me about six months to really get into Asleep... - but the songs sort of sneak up on you gradually over a period of time.

One of the odder but more enjoyable situations I've been in was when a very open lesbian and myself went to a Cure show back in 1992 and proceeded to spend a couple of hours beforehand judging the general fuckability of female members of the crowd. If anything, she was more blatant than I was!

I also like Choo Choo Rocket. And I watched my ex-ex play all the way through one of those police corruption-scandal games, where your wife and baby were murdered and you have flashbacks and have to break out of prison and stuff, and also through one of those whole-world RPGs where you take a personality "test" and up as a thief or wizard or warrior or whatever. Very "Receive guardsman weapons training, three golds" sort of thing. Also beautiful, though.
