Sinister: obsessiveness: geeky or cool?
by The Spod 24 Mar '98

24 Mar '98

dear all I went on to the chat site last night and was having the usual music-y conversation when it was mentioned that perhaps people (such as those on list this list) who are really into music have no life. Is this true? Do "normal" people see such activities as being obsessive about a particular band or genre as sad? Or does the obsession hold a mystique that makes these people seem more interesting than they really are?(Are people into to music simply for this very reason?) From my own personal experience it feels that being really into music (none of my friends are) is not really seen as geeky or cool but just unusual, you know like having mad hair or a fondness for sprouts. Something that just distingushes you from other people. It's like paying £££'s for TM when it isn't really worth that much (certainly not to me anyway). Is the price so high because of the coolness factor that is associated with the records rather than the songs themselves? what am I trying to say? sorry it is late :) the spod xxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Not B&S Mover
by Mark Hester 24 Mar '98

24 Mar '98

Jonathan Wren mentioned Mover. I saw them suporting the Dandys at the Elm Tree in Oxford a few weeks ago and thought they were far and away the better band. I would be very surprised if they don't enter the hearts and CD collections of the nation (yes, I can hardly believed I typed that myself!) very soon!

Re: Sinister: Tigermilk price

>would you rather: a) get a fairly decent copy dubbed by someone cool >like Andy Dean or Pam Berry for the price of a tape and postage or b) >pay some dubious fucker a tenner for a dodgy CD bootleg copy down some >market? >anyone who answers b) can fuck right off now. I think I'd answer B. On the grounds that I wouldn't like to bother Pam or Andy for a copy if there was one going, and secondly given me not owning a minidisc player, I'd be far tempted to have a CD copy of it so's that it lasts more than a few months. Keith. Is it OK if I don't just fuck off right now - apologies for having a different opinion to you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
