because it's a feeble way in which to claw out some desperate scintilla of individuality in this zombifying mass-culture world. or maybe not.
That's pretty funny considering that pretty much all of you listed the exact same bands. I swear, if anyone pulls that stunt again (i.e. asking questions that you know that every single dork on the list will answer, the same way- yourstruly as well in case you were wondering) I'll hook my car battery up to my computer and electrocute them. I had to unsubscribe.... it was that bad.... go to digest. I couldn't take it. I mean, I really hate deleting everyone's messages en masse but I couldn't take another waiting three minutes just to see "oh, Smiths... Pulp..... Radiohead.... Jesus and Mary Chain..... Elliott Smith...." (oh! and no black people, ha ha, except for the alphabetizing trainspotter I saw toss in Albert Ayler, as if) I mean, really. The best instore music experience was once when Tower was pushing the Spiritualized album and left this disastrous 10-minute fuzz-storm playing, it was funny just to see people's heads turn up to the speakers like those flowers caught in stop-action on nature shows. Going into class every day of third grade made me sigh.... I just sat in the back of the class and copied maps out of atlases all day. By the way, that was a bitchslapworthy question too but since it demands a modicum of creativity to answer (i.e. who the fuck remembers what made them sigh back then? Cry, maybe, but sigh? I think really young people only sigh when they're bored, and I think, really, that Belle and Sebastian would make a young boy sigh). Without misgiving, I paid upwards of fifty bucks to see Isaac Hayes play in Israel... I guess it was worth it as my brother and I were televised, live, running down to the front and dancing when "shaft" was played. Everyone else there was an uptight Israeli rock star or my uncle. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
