Hello Sinister Kids. MAGAZINE Careless Talk Costs Lives: I liked the issue I read. But it was definitely pretentious. Some nice articles, some nice new information. Reading it was similar to talking to the snotty guy you know who you would enjoy talking about records with, but he's waaaay to cool for you and his records are carefully picked to remain cool. But I still liked it, but I like Q. Compared to the Rolling Stone magazine and Spin so readily available here; it whups ass. ROCK Related to this, my stance on music is: I don't like things that suck. I do like things that rock. And somethimes I like things that suck. STEAMED HAMS Ok. I have a Philadelphia ticket to sell for face value. Y'know now that there's a DC show and all. And that the week I'm up with my family for my cousins wedding, there's the NY show which will be a nice excuse to get the fuck off Long Island. I'm not even staying with them the whole time; my best friends live around and visits will occur. But Still. Don't get me wrong, I love all my cousins and aunts and uncles and stuff; but they're right wing, conservative, in the Navy, Pro-Life, Roman Catholic and I am a far left wing secular Buddhist. I'm not very religious, but when put into a situation where Jesus is stalking me at every turn; well that's a little odd having to actively pick a side. Trying to explain a way of living that's not actually a religion...whoa. They were surprised to know I wasn't even Christian. There are some times when I bite my tongue cos to start something wouldn't be a good idea and wouldn't change anyone's ideas about anything. I don't want to try to change their ideas; I just want mutual respect. Riiight. So anybody want my Philadelphia ticket? DC PIC-A-NIC There will be a DC picnic. I think me and Jenny Payne are the mummies. More info to come. We've got some ideas but suggestions are very very welcomed. ROCK Can I say how much I am in love with Ballboy's record/compilation "Club Anthems"? They're FAB. And I'm not from Scotland either. Favourite song: "Donald in the Bushes With a Bag of Glue", "I've Got Pictures of You in Your Underwear" and "One Sailor Was Waving". For the names of the first two alone. It's nice cos it simple but not afraid to fully embrace Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound. It's Unrest versus Arab Strap. ROCK! FUGAZI, PINE TREES, RAH-BRAS, A LAKE, AND 34 DEGREES FARENHEIT Fugazi played here a few weeks ago. I LOVE Fugazi and have since age 14. However, due to bastard cars, broke-assedness, and being at jobs instead of venues; I've only managed to see them play out two and a half times before. And I'm 27 now. They played at the local posh university that funnily enough has the FABulous radio station. The actual venue was at an outdoor amphitheatre surrounded by pine trees, leafy trees, and a lake. It was 34 degrees farenheit out i.e. cold as fuck. The local kids, the Rah-Bras opened. They rocked. I've seen them a bunch and this was the best sound ever. All their songs sounded so good and so clear yet still ferocious and Wrarrrrr. Same with Fugazi, I think the dirt of the amphitheatre and the pine trees and shit made fabulous sound conducters. Fugazi played two of my fave songs. Merchandise and Reclamation. Reclamation has this beginning gittar bit that sounds like the noises Beavis and Butthead make to sound like guitars. Or maybe like an actual waterfall. Sounds like "Beirnn neer neer neer neer neer neer". And Merchandise was great cos it rocks, is righteous, and makes me remember hearing punk rock for the first time and how exciting and dynamic this sound was. Telling you lot about this, I assume there more than one crossover listeners cos how dull would it be to listen to only one kind/speed of music. La la luv ya, Vilkas *As always, a contest if you know who sang the subject line. It's an easy one. Prize = Mix Tape. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
