Eh... It has aged a bit better than I would have expected, but _Rio_ was the clear peak IMO. That Arcadia album was underrated and overlooked. Effective, "arty" synth-pop.
Tell me now, is there really this stigma attached to the whole Internet-meeting thing? Cos I kind of thought we as a human species or whatever had gotten past that.
A friend and I had a conversation about this the other day. I had tried to arrange a post-show meetup at the B&S show in Chicago. More recently I tried to arrange a Chicago-area meetup. I still haven't met any listmembers from the area. People in the UK seem to have no trouble using a forum like this to meet others with similar interests and dispositions. Another friend's wife, who lived in upstate New York most of her life, observes that people in this area (Chicago) seem to be too self-absorbed or too self-consciously hip to be sociable -- worse than NYC in her opinion. So many people seem to be bogged-down in the "I'm So Busy" syndrome. Maybe people simply are more open and friendly outside of large, American cities. I have no spare time, but I am able to find time to do the things I want to do. (E.g. taking a day to meet some good people in Wisconsin.) --Mark __ Burning Rome : SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14
