nobody here knows me but I'm evan but you can call me evanbear if there are any evans on here um...wont give long intro in this message but here are a couple bands that are new or fairly new that someone on here might like (this is a long detailed list, if i should not do something like this again cause its too long just let me know) Secret Stars- just a boy and a girl with guitars and a little keyboard that makes pretty noises while they sing Ida (who plenty people prolly know)- just a couple boys and a couple girls with guitars, violin, and drums and stuff that sing real pretty (the drums dont sing the people do) Pernice Brothers- no girls (except on piano, occaisonal backup singing and some on strings and one on string harp)but an old boy hes like 30 or something with one of the pretiest voices you ever will hear, i wont try to describe the music cause all the bands that are easy to compare to them suck for the most part and its an insult to lump Pernice Bros. with them (the band is basically Joe Pernice w/ various cool people like Peyton Pinkerton from New Radiant Storm Kings (shoegazers i spose) and Thom Monahan from Lily's who are freaks) Class- i hear there was a brittish band by this name too but this one is somebody else from massachusetts, boy and girl with guitar a violin and some keeyboard thingies, some people would prolly hate his voice which is not sweet at all, quite rough and flat but the girl has a very sweet voice so their harmonies are painfully perty, best song=Feeling Fine "i was happy when i put my new record on, i was sad as i listened to it all alone", plus they cover Field Mice song "This Love Is Not Wrong" Vulgar Boatmen- just boys but wunnerful boys singing prretty mostly acoustic countryish pop songs that make me bounce around like B&S do, great driving music too (at least the album i have whicch is You And Your Sister, i havent hear dthe other albums) um...cant really think of any oher currrent people ive been listening to obscure of semi-obsucre 80's stuff mostly lately so im not in a very modern mindset anyone who doesn't know Go-Betweens many people wouldd prolly love them ive also been listening to Jazz Butcher, Orange Juice, Game Theory, Let's Active, Martin Newell (finally finally finally found an album of his (Greatest Living Englishman), Smithereens, but mostly Go-Betweens which is a daily (usually Talullah or 16 Lovers Lane) i would reccomend Talullah to anyone who doesnt have it its an aboslute pop masterpiece (and there are happy oboe solos) ----Ev http://www.angelfire.com/ma/dixiecluck" (has a mostly complete list of what i listen to but most of the links dont work yet) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
