Yes! Ooberman are great aren't they. Ive got their Shorley Wall EP = (Seratonin Smile is very good on it). Try going into you're local Virgin = Megastore and asking for Ooberman and watch the assistant's face drop. = It took them half and hour to work out what I was saying. I do seem to = prefer bands like Belle, the Tindersticks, Ooberman, Ben Harper etc but = then I break the mould with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.=20 The SWCI idea is good, but posibly too general in assuming that = everybody comes from the same background. I think it's more in the type = of music they play, not the kind you have to try hard to get into (but = not MOR) and the kind with a good story in it (She's selling seashells = on the Shorley Wall). I'm afraid Pulp (or plop as I like to call them) = are not on my list. Jarvis Cocker (illegitimate son of Joe Cocker) gets = on my tits, but some of the sogs are good. REM do come into the equation = though, not exactly the working class type but definitely the well = stuctured story orientated music. Maybe that's it then, just very well = structured music. Who knows what accounts for taste? Some people like = Billie after all. News Flash...Pete Waterman is accusing Billboard of being fixed after = Steps didn't get to number one. It was in his business plan and = everything, and now he's going to have to go home and rewrite it all. Aw = poo, he said at a recent press conference. Later, Oliver A levels are so depressing. I want to go out and play in the sun, but = there's too much work to do... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
