I liked that, based on the album’s feel, knowing that the weather they were experiencing while recording it was like a Viognier with linguine and clams. I liked knowing it was recorded down the street from my house in Portland and the same tattoo parlor they passed every day was the same tattoo parlor I passed every day. I liked that that was my experience! It gave my listens a different perspective. I would have definitely sought them out earlier had someone just told me, “Tegan and Sara are so funny and charming that they will convince you to listen to music that you don’t usually listen to and in doing so you’ll come to love it.” But no one told me that, and so I had come to that realization on my own after stumbling onto a short clip from The Con DVD on Youtube. This is, I understand, a very strange and ass-backwards journey considering I’d been out and exposed to a queer scene for almost half a decade by that point. I actually saw the The Con DVD (in 2009) before I’d even heard any of their music.
In 2007, my only reference point to Tegan and Sara was that episode in The L Word when Dana and Shane get high to see their show at The Planet and, because they get way too high, end up dancing with them on stage. 10 Tegan and Sara Halloween Costumes To Make Everyone So Jealousįor the stories below, authors have included photographs of themselves in 2007, the year “The Con” came out.Įrin Sullivan, Autostraddle Staff Writer, 31.Reviewing Tegan & Sara: Sainthood Track-by-Track.Autofocus! with Tegan and Sara at MTV Studios.Tegan & Sara do Sydney: Photo Gallery by Stef Mitchell.Tegan & Sara’s ‘Heartthrob’: A Track-by-Track Feelings Festival.Tegan Quin: The Autostraddle Interview(s).Tegan and Sara Answer 10 Questions About Love.This Letter Crystal Sent Me About Meeting Tegan and Sara.

The Autostraddle Encyclopedia of Lesbian Cinema.LGBTQ Television Guide: What To Watch Now.Though not as consistent as Cricklewood Green, A Space in Time has its share of sparkling moments. The production on A Space in Time is crisp and clean, a sound quite different from the denseness of its predecessors. Many of the cuts make effective use of dynamic shifts, and the guitar solos are generally more understated than on previous outings. After the opener, however, the album settles back into a more relaxed mood than one would have expected from Ten Years After. The leadoff track, "One of These Days," is a particularly scorching workout, featuring extended harmonica and guitar solos. However, there are still a couple of barn-burning jams. In fact, six of the disc's ten songs are built around acoustic guitar riffs. The individual cuts are shorter, and Alvin Lee displays a broader instrumental palette than before. TYA's first album for Columbia, A Space in Time has more of a pop-oriented feel than any of their previous releases had. This was due primarily to the strength of "I'd Love to Change the World," the band's only hit single, and one of the most ubiquitous AM and FM radio cuts of the summer of 1971. A Space in Time was Ten Years After's best-selling album.
