I rarely post but I agree with this post by Julie. I have the opportunity to speak to a lot of B&S fans as I DJ an indie night in Toronto every Friday (Popscene) and the climate surrounding us B&S fans in Toronto is quite contentious. No one is impressed by this e-mail nor the fact that our city has been shafted once again. I am still a massive fan but it's so disappointing for me to see a lot of people grow weary with this band. Quite a few die-hards I've known have dropped the band altogether, citing musical shifts in the city and the lack of interest the band has in their fans. I would even travel to NYC if they were going to do one major city on the east coast. It's even a greater shame for Toronto because the indie fanbase for the first time in years is disappearing instead of swelling. I suppose this will be one band I'll have to miss out on live. ta, Chrissy --Extraordinary how potent cheap music is-- ***Noel Coward*** _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
