Ian,

Back in the early 90's (like that's a long time ago!), I was living in the Northwestern Part of the U.S. in Oregon to be precise. During my stay there, I began to notice (both in clubs and on the radio) these girlbands who sounded like the Go-Go's but with a more musical and honest edge. I think someone along the way named it "CuddleCore".

yeah, cuddle-core! jen sbragia does cuddle-core, and she's great. i just got a split that she's on, AND the GO SAILOR single from slumberland that she did the SLEEVE for. she's GRATE. not PANTS. (i hope i got my brit-slang right...) jen sbragia is great. it's especially grate to say "sbragia". "suh- BRAG-ia." everyone say it. oh, now it's time for mozarella sticks. i suggest for next time that we all tell our special jen sbragia stories. - adam +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
