i just finished reading the last story in jean paul sartre's the wall titled: the chilhood of a leader. it was disturbing like the others but i couldn't tell if the character Lucien was a reference to Hitler's childhood. what made the first impression was the Oediapus complex Lucien claimed to have in order to win the friendship of Berliac. I remember watching a documentary on Hitler in my high school history class and something was mentioned about him having that complex. Also i don't think Hitler was always anti semetic like Lucien. it doesn't really matter either way i suppose, but i just finished reading it and i'm a little curious. i know it's been out for a while now but has anyone heard the new e.p. from stereolab, the first of the microbe hunters? it's some of their weaker material in my opinion. ( i know, nobody asked)the only good songs are the first and third. the rest are just there i guess, they have no real impact. my favorite so far is cobra and phases play voltage in the milky night. it has such a great title, i love using it to describe a prior night: we danced into the milky night or something like that. the eigth song is my favorite though, it reminds me of this commercial for these star wars legos that you can build to make robots that actually move. in the commercial this boy comes into his room and flips on his light nad its like a disco with all these droids dancing to this funky song that sounds like the afore mentioned song. everytime i hear it i wish i had a bunch of those robots dancing around me. i found out those legos are upwards of about $100 and i factored the time spent building them multiplied by my lack of success with mechanical objects and decided that it was too much. that would be a rad tour though, b&s, with stereolab and maybe arab strab in between. that's it then, tim ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

Really? IMHO, Microbe Hunters is good, and I like it better than Cobra. I am a devout Stereolab fan, I even have some of their concert-only singles, and I think Cobra is their weakest album to date. Of course, I'm an Old Skool fan, and think that Peng! and Mars Audiac Quintet are their best albums, with Switched On! a close second. Come to mention it -- I rank Stereolab up with B & S in the fact that I don't think it's really possible for them to put out a bad album per se. Refried Ectoplasm and Aluminum Tunes are also great, as far a compilation albums go. I know I'm going to get flamed into obvlivion for this: but I think that "Judy is a Dick Slap" is just a Stereolab rip off, at least the first part is. I don't care much for the Legal Man EP. I like the songs, but they're too short. Can't really glean a good bit of enjoyment from them, because they're over too quickly. Am I the only one who thinks that B & S sounds like "The Left Banke" sometimes?. I'm just waiting for them to do a cover of "Walk Away Renee" on one of their EPs, or live. I could hear Stuart doing that. Except that he would change the lyrics so that she would be a rubberist with a toilet plunger and cream cheese fetish. NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE. I MEAN IT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE RUBBERISTS INTO TOILET PLUNGERS AND CREAM CHEESE. THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. I *REALLY* need to get out more. ======================================== "I only buy a book for the way it looks, then I put it on the shelf again.
