in re: the old debate uh, i am clocking m'self for 15 min. music snobbery is a good thing. it means taste. but it should not mean ignorance. i am always willing to listen to new stuff, old stuff, and have even heard a christina aguliera cd. that i hated everything but the booklet art doesn't mean i'm being a snob; it means i reject formula...mostly. don't care if somebody's popular--that's what POP is about. even as i write this, i am downloading stuff from napster. and i have never done this before (except from david white's site, otherwise how would i have heard "middle distance runner"?). but all this talk about baxendale, sodastream, badly drawn boy, sigur ros, hefner... curiosity may have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back. in salad days at uni (more like generic mac&cheese) i would tape other peoples albums, and i have yet to bring the giant megacorps to their knees. and how many of those taped albums have i bought? fill in the blank.... today i can't afford to go and splurge like i used to, but i want to know what i'm missing. and if i like what i hear enough, i'll find the wherewithal to pick up what turns me on. and speaking of that oh, and mr. miller? uncle dave macon was more of a producer than an artist. g'nite +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
