I just had a bit of a debate with my friends, and so i'll be an obnoxious pretent and post twice in the same day... we were talking about how the fact that B&S are getting so popular (relatively) makes it seem like it's less special...and that even though we put up a concerted effort not to be elitist 'indie' kids, we still feel our collective ire rise when some 'goo goo dolls' devotee goes walking around talking about this great band they just discovered. it's frustrating to see something you've liked for so long being treated as just another thing; and then feeling guilty for feeling frustrated. i'm not making sense am i? the endorphins and adrenaline from the debate are probably still having their way with my synapses. okay- what i really wanted to ask was this- 1) do you think they are getting REALLY popular, or am i just paranoid and primed to see it. 2) does anyone else feel like it's "your" music....[and i mean this in both the most figurative and childish sense.] and do you get sort of jealous when other people listen? maybe it's just the combination of qualudes and alcohol talking. i dunno. I'm sure I'll hear it from the rest of you all "it's good that the band is getting success, and you shouldn't be so avaristic- you moron" supporters in the morning. votre petit singe dans le fenestre avec le coq, kevin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
