<<she also Took offense to the name Bare Naked Ladies. I think next time I'll just walk.... >> it's nice to see some good canadian music getting namedropped here on the sinister list, eh? hee. well, as long as it's not i mother earth or moist i won't get *too* mad.. :) but, anyway, yes, the name Barenaked Ladies created somewhat of a minor stir in my area of the world when previous Toronto mayor, June Rowlands also found the name offensive. She thought they were some mean, degrading, kicking sand in childrens' faces- type band, not chubby men who sang "if i had a million dollars, i would buy you a fur coat, but not a real fur coat, that's cruel". ack, enough talk about that! wow, the list *has* been incredibly nice these days. quiet too... only 4 or 5 posts when i check instead of 20 or 30. and they're always long thoughtful posts. awwww - see, given enough time we can really sort everything out ourselves. honey - don't come back! we don't need you! (just kidding :) ) we even have noam chomsky represented on the list! my sweeetie would be totally pleased considering he's always sending me stuff like that to read. finally at my own free will i took out a chomsky book, but it was a linguistics-related one, which i'm told is not as powerful or something as his political stuff.. well, boo. i think it's mighty interesting. but yeah, sanctions are bad!!! and that is my political stance. that and bears shouldn't play hockey! it looks really sad.. give them dignity! neither my mom nor i have been in any condition to shovel the driveway this week so we're practically snowed in. while mick mcmick enjoyed a little dusting of snow, we have this huge dumping of it. sure sure, it looks pretty and all that, especially right at twilight when it gets a neat blueish tint but sheeesh. i'm starting to remember why i called my zine "melt the snow".. hrrrm. i got a nice little belle and sebastian concert tape in the mail 2 days ago, from one of new york shows, i think. it's funny, you can hear the illegal illegal bootlegger exclaiming "wow!" after the first verse of "belle and sebastian". there's no isobel song, sigh, but there is that song "lord antony" that has embedded itself in my head. it doesn't pay to be smarter than teachers, no sir. and even more belle and sebastian related news - i had a big big screaming fight with a friend of mine over b&s cos he thinks that they suck, and obviously they don't.. i mean, gee, he actually thinks that they have no talent! i have absolutely no idea how anyone can think that. needless to say, i was practically in tears cos i couldn't defend them adequately; i'm terrible at yelling and fighting like that. eventually we simmered down and made peace but still.. it's frustrating when i can't explain the way they make me *feeeeel*. i spent a good part of the afternoon sleeping and dreaming of springtime. i nominate lesley jo for president, teri xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
