Dear Sinister, isn't it good when you get ideas in your head and you decide that they will be the principle of your life for at least until you go to bed and wake up the next morning feeling a little disconserted? These ideas of course should always be inspired by Pop of course. As everyone knows that P!O!P! is the land of the zany and madcap, the swingeing principles that lose you all your friends, the highs and lows, the aubergines and the eggplants.... Hmmm. I'm listening to a Japanese pop group, who seem to be from the planet Squiggly Geetar Solos followed by The Bit Where In The Film Soundtrack Patrick Swayze and "bird" Snog For The First Time Where It Goes All Slow And Then Rocks Out Again. Make any sense of that? It makes sense when you listen to the song. Bah. I've been thinking about the Clientele again. I still want to be the sulky kid in the corner clutching a pint of beer. I have decided they're the band I love to hate, which everyone else probably decided when I first opened my mouth on the subject. Everything I say about them comes out in the vein of what Great Pop should be - however since when have I liked textbook examples. Everything I feel I should like but which I just can't bring myself too. And I'm not fucking going too. Why am I so bloody defensive? God, I piss myself off!! And Stephin Merrit is God. Isobel Campbell is NOT. The WAAAAAAAAAH!!!! sound on Crazy Horses is God too. What other Pop groups are Godlike? Should I be reading Trousercuts to tell me? Reserve me a copy. I remember when Papercuts was first concieved you know. What a long way its come since then. I hear they're even selling enough to keep the editor in hairslides. Ah the dizzying heights of Stardom. I read a fucking ace interview with Mike Oldfield and um...Wolfsbane today. I salute thee in the name of RAWK, Sarah xo * What else would I say? ===== "But just remember, when your teacher told you to always find a home for stray animals, she wasn't referring to your rectum." -- DNA Mag-AZINE. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
