i have never heard orlando but the new fosca lp is rather nice, a bit like baxendale(gasp everyone here despises baxendale! sorry to fosca then) i think only a smidge older a trifle melancholier. i always seem to join tape swaps out of habit and then stress over the construction of the tapes and then after mailing them i go and get a record and think gosh if only i had had this record before making that mic tape the mix tape might have been perfect. this time it is the demarnia lloyd ep, gosh she is wonderful. magical how a cd basically made up of her voice and a bunch of fog and tinkling can make me smile for nearly forever. apparently she has a new cloudboy record done too! and if i were german i would be able to see them live as they are going to tour germany(of all places) to celebrate the new record. i remember the good old days when brilliant records from new zealand were a weekly occurence and now it is more like bi-decadal(is that a word?). future bible heroes are the weakest of the merrit affiliated bands, true, well i have heard gothic archies so i don't know what i am talking about but i don't like the deification of mr merrit i was very uncomfortable watching him in san francisco a his minions paid homage in almost reverential silence and stpehin with an i lapped it up. i sat on the side and rubbed my feet on the carpet and then i heard someone say she say amy linton and stuart murdoch thrift shopping, maybe they were working out a trade stevie for wyatt. amy's second favorite perfect pop song is velocity girl, lovely. keith demarnia lloyd should get all of the songs on the next sixths record. yes. more daniel handler. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Dear List, Apologies, this post is mostly about Fosca and Baxendale, and as I'm sure that's not non-stop thrills to many of you, I'd suggest you boot this to the recycle bin right about.....now.

I disagree, actually. I sent Paul a very angry letter about his post about Orlando recently, as I thought it smacked of an indie purist attitude - but he put me straight. It was a joke! Oh, how I then choked on my coca cola! I am a member of this list and a hardcore Baxendale fan, one of a fair few. I don't think Fosca would see it as an insult to be linked to Baxendale, as they're friends on that sad little circuit we all know and love as the London tweeindie scene. Fosca do have pop songs on their album - but you're right, they are melancholic pop songs. That was actually what Orlando used to be all about - misery and despair wrapped up in a soulpop package which made you want to dance and shout. Baxendale write songs about American girls that steal your boyfriend, trainers, computers, loving the sound of dance music and wanting to fly away to distant lands because your girlfriend is annoying you. Fosca are less obvious. Tim (Baxendale) wants to be Craig David. Dickon (orlando, fosca) has always leant more towards the wordy and poetic, Cellos and mascara. I don't know, perhaps Dickon wants to be Craig David too. Or perhaps he'd just like to sleep with Craig David. I'd just like to say thankyou to James T and the rest of you that sent me things for my birthday - I was suitably touched. Also, Hello to the sinister massive who I saw at Scalarama on Saturday. Sorry I didn't speak to you very much, I was a bit busy being horribly drunk. Oh, and hello to the one of you who wrote 'stupid bint' on the Papercuts poster - burn in hell, darling! mwah. Watch your back.
