Sinister: frank fontaine: abducted be aliens 1979
i found this review of the moldy peaches at: http://yaleherald.com/archive/xxxi/2001.01.19/ae/p15bmoldy.html
Take Belle and Sebastian. Divide by zero, invert, hack to pieces. In the negative space left over is the Moldy Peaches.
The anti-Belle and Sebastian: not a Scotch six but a Manhattan two, not lushly orchestrated but direct-to-four-track, not fey but scabrous. It's indie pop with a male/female vocal combo, surebut that's it, except for a few mics overloaded to explosion, a shredding, fuzzboxed acoustic guitar, and a big boom of a drum set.
interesting. i suppose they won't be playing the song 'new york city's like a graveyard' much now. that song just has too many lines in it which could cut close to the bone. and primal scream won't be releasing 'bomb the pentagon' this is my first post since the 11th of september i was going to post that morning but then i knew that nothing i was going to say had any value or meaning in the wake of those events. on the 10th of september a friend of my dad's was sightseeing at the top of the WTC on the 12th of september i was in a metro station when i heard a policeman say to his colleague 'there's one' refering to a young arab kid walking by and then searched him. the kid was doing nothing wrong, just walking from his train to the street. last week the mosque in my town had a flaming petrol can flung at it's front door. the mosque mohammed ali was married in incedentally. some things are never right with the world but now moreso than ever, i feel. i found all of your posts in the wake of the tragedy touching but could i especially thank martha (mh843@bard.edu), sophie tintori and carle groome for their amazingly moving posts. -----oO0=0Oo----- wow, i wasn't meant to be so down so i'll end with some PF style recommendations: a quite good book is Whit by Iain Banks a quite good (and amazingly twee) cartoon is Pablo the little red Fox - on BBC Choice, please watch it a quite good album is 'rings around the world' by the Super Furry Animals. the vinyl version is especially good - side C (it's a double album) plays inside out, that is you place the needle at the centre of the record and it plays until the needle falls off the edge, fantastic; also included is a 7" which just has one continuous groove on it so the few seconds of music on it loops round forever in a cool melodic groove, truly FAB. erm... did anybody hear the Bearsuit session on john peel the other night? they are the future of POP, i swear. and i heard about them first on sinister. see?, you are good for something after all. are you cheered up again? sorry... OOH! Look, the next post is by (put name of mystery sinisterine here) and he/she is great! go read it now, go on... Pez* p.s. pablo has a friend called fromage the frog. p.p.s.
