RE: Sinister: Snow Patrol

but it would appear that Polar Bear are now known as Snow Patrol. Obviously keen on arctic imagery! [Keith Watson] Aye - some guy pointed out to me that the bass player chap who used to be in Jane's Addiction - his new band are called Polar Bear, so I dare say they've changed their names to protect the innocent. My friend Cymon was disappointed they were'nt the same band - he's a big Jane's Addiction fan. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I Know the Cardigans and the Spice Girls are not the same thing from a musical view. The comparison was on the *pop* aspect of it all, they are both under media lights, they sell millions of records. I don't like any of them, but I know they aren't the same thing. Regis Note: There are two people writing under the same nick "Galaxie" in this list. One is Regis and the other, me, Cecilia. I would also like to say i don't share his opinions on Cardigans.It's a band I learnt to love way before they became popular in my country, with the "Life" album (they only made it big here with "First Band On The Moon"). So, as we are two, and we don't always agree on everything, check the name under each comment for a full view on how much we both argue about music.

Sinister: re:success for B&S and people I hate.
by Chris Stack 01 Sep '97

When B&S become famous they'll be put on all the compilation albums along with all the duff guitar bands in the charts, that won't be good will it? and I just know someone will come up to me and say "have you heard this new band B&S, they've just released a brand new album called you are very sinister, or something, I'll lend you it." And I'll say, well I lent you that album last year and you said it was shit." It's happened before it'll happen again. I hate the general public. I also hate the person who paid £200 for a copy of Tigermilk, that's set a precedent that has, now you'd be stupid to sell your copy for any less, more money than sense some people. If at the auction he'd backed off and let someone buy it for around £30, then all subsequent copies for sale would start at £30, but well, there you go. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
