Let's all give a big hug to our main man Lawrence Mikkelsen! He was the first one here to step out from the crowd and had the nerve to announce that maybe The Strokes really aren't that great. If I weren't heterosexual I'd give you my body as a reward. But really, 33 minutes of music that is ok but nothing more. "Ooh, but the boys are really cute!" Yes, but have you ever read their interviews? It's always bad when the people who are hailed as the new everything actually believe they are cooler than all the other bands in the world combined. Kick them in the head, I say. So my crusade against people who try too hard to be stylish and rawk continues. What you should do, though, is to buy Dead Media by Hefner. Analogue synthesizers, the same old groove, perfect album. Ace. And finally I get to hear The Nights Are Long in cd- form, rather than the wobbly taperecording from Peely. My favourite line: And since my honey moved, To the south side of town. Been hearing ugly rumours, She's been putting it around. Now there's a line I can.... Naah, it just sound great. -JF _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
