Dear Sinister legions, Does anyone have any information on a band with the moniker "Appliance"? I saw a video of theirs (for "Pacificon") on MTV's 120 Minutes this week in the U.S. and was quite impressed. Their sound is very reminiscent of the early Verve alla "A Storm in Heaven". In addition, CD-Now (http://www.cdnow.com) was reticent when queried for information on these lads. All I can safely ascertain is that they released their debut LP in mid-October and have an import single available for Amerks to purchse. For all that I know, "Appliance" may not even be from the U.K. Second, has anyone heard Fly Pan Am's new LP? Is it worth the investment? They were billed by Other Music in NYC as a "Godspeed You Black Emperor! side project". I don't think that this is entirely true, albeit they are a quartet from Montreal who play instrumental music like GYBE!. At least that's what I garner from GYBE!'s web site (http://www.southern.com/southern/band/GDSPD). Finally, anyone with any information on the above topics for an ignorant bloke like myself, please respond off the list to markniciu@hotmail.com ~M P.S. Does anyone else find it disconcerting that people actually have dreams involving Belle and Sebastian, or more disturbing that people remember this dreams vividly and report them as if they happened in reality? No malice against anyone who dreams of Belle and Sebastian or any other musical act for that matter, but I just think that it is weird given that most of us have never met the chaps and only seen a few scattered pictures pasted across the internet. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
