Since George W. Bush is going to be the next president: Howdy, folks! Ooh, it's been ages since I last wrote here. But yesterday my better half insisted that I'd bother you, so here I am. DO! MAKE! SAY! THINK! You people seem to like Godspeed! You black emperor. That's nice, they're ok. A funny thing: The other bands from Constellation records (the circle of artists that Godspeed guys belong to) like Do Make Say Think and Iron Mount Zion... they all sound quite the same, don't they? guitar goes ZWANGGGGG three times a minute, then they throw some other intstruments on top of that. The only thing that separetes Iron Mount Zion from Godspeed is the fact that Godspeed songs are filled with violins whereas Iron Mount Zion songs have that darn piano going PLINGGGG six times a minute. How many albums of "minimalistic art" can you own? PEEOUPEE! No, thats not the sound of me getting a golden shower in my eye from my secret boyfriend, but P!O!P!: I bought "Life goes on" by the BMX Bandits yesterday, and it's surprisingly good. In fact, it's ace. I borrowed it from the library about six months ago and I though it was shit. Now that I've listened to it about 6 times during the past 18 hours I have to admit I was wrong. Better than Teenage Fanclub? Frankly... yes. I've never understood what the fuzz about Tfanclub is all about. Nice melodies, nice sound, but that's all that it is: Nice and comfy. But hey, some people are like bunnies, some dig doggystyle. MEW AND STINA AND BRETT! This is just to our beloved Honey (ok, maybe a few others too): The new album from a danish band called Mew contains a song "Her voice is beoynd her years", and it features none other that Stina Nordenstam herself on vocals. Check out http://www.mewsite.com for more details on the band. Oh, and Brett Anderson, for those who didn't know, has been to Iceland to record some vocals to Stinas new album which will be out sometime next spring. Thats it. In conclusion: art is crap, pop is nice, but it shouldn't be too nice. And Stina is a goddess. -Jarkko Frantila (Jace le PetitE), room 423, School of vocational teacher education. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
