Hiya,

Nice to know I'm normally quite sane...
No, but there's loads of people in UK bands of West Indian descent, (which, Mick, is not in India, before you ask.) Or do they not count?
I apologize for being wrong. It's just that I've never seen a picture of anyone in non-Top 40 UK band that wasn't white, except Jyoti Mishra and the fellow from Cornershop. Perhaps it's just the bands I like. Corpora Arenacea says:
I guess the fact that that barrier, or whatever you want to call it, still exists to a large extent irks me at least as much as the lack of really loud bands on the list.
For some reason this just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, the idea of someone being irked that a number of fans of a wimpy (yet tuneful) little folk-pop band aren't fans of deafening guitar squeal and power riffage is rather ludicrous to me. Of course, there's nothing wrong with someone liking both, it's just that I think it's very odd to expect people to, or at least get angry (or, irked) if they don't. Also, Cynthia queries:
What LP is that Mick McMick speaks of? Also check out the first album of Caetano Veloso (kind of regarded as the John Lennon of Brazil),
By a stroke of fate, the LP is "Brasil" by Joao Gilberto (sorry, I can't do the proper squiggly marks), Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethania, and, yes, Caetano Veloso. Quite a lovely long-player. João Henrique Horst electrically pens:
Actually THERE WAS some bossa-nova on the lists. If not the classic João & Astrud Gilberto/Antonio Carlos (Tom) Jobim/Nara Leão/Edu Lobo stuff, we had Strereolab, Everything But The > Girl and others,
True, I did miss that point. I guess it's hard for me to think of Stereolab, EBTG, etc as bossanova. /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - bp224995@oak.cats.ohiou.edu - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - (same e-mail for now) | | Sandcastle Homepage - | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "Everyone has their own cup of tea. | | Some just happen to like a lot of sugar in it!" | | - Me! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
