If that previous messege was you shying away from real discussion then god help us all. This idea of mediocrity =popularity is interesting. i kind of agree. i remember at college it was alway the dull fuckers who were the most popular, but then its usually the freaks and geeks that go down in history. im a bit dubious about how you draw up your mediocrity table though. how do you do it? the idea that taste is limited to food only is daft.Kings of Conv', to be honest, is incredebly (sp?) "mediocra", its easy to listen to and isnt really ground breaking, but the fact is that it is fab to listen to and warms you up inside. suggesting that 1984 "follows the surface rules" is laughable(even though i havent read it yet, shhhh). i find it hard to argue with messeges cause i take things the wrong way, i need tone of voice to help me through so if if ive contradicted myself or anything just ignore it. im djing tonight and im scared. love hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
