Hi guys! I thought I would write to the loverly Sinisterines cos my roommate and pals are prolly quite tired of hearing me talk abt my excitment abt the upcoming Philly show in May! Yikes! Yesterday, when I was telling my girlfriend abt my long history with B & S, and how excited I was to get a then-hard-to-find tape of a tape of a taped copy of Tigermilk, and listened to it on the long drive down to college for the first time, and soon found how fitting songs like "She's Losing It" and "We Rule the School" were to be in my life, she pointed out how appropriate it was that I was going to be seeing them 2 short weeks before my college graduation. Aw. A framing of sorts. I also found out the other day that this girl at my skool, who is my friend now but wasnt before, said to another girl that I seemed really "Teen Angst." Harrrrrumph. The real reason i am writing is that I have a request of you lovely lot! I have been hearing abt so so so many bands lately, from you all, other lists, pals, magazines, and, as I am in my final year of college, I am very, very broke, and unable to buy all the music I would love to check out. So! I was writing to ask if there are a few of you out there who wouldnt mind making me a mix tape! I havent got much money but I would send you some stickers and other fun arty maily things in exchange! Here are some of the bands I would like to know more about: Daft Punk, Clientele, Low, Tahiti 80, Windy + Carl, Sea + Cake, the Shins, Moth Wranglers, the Strokes, Felix da Housecat, Ladytron, Beta Band, Pernice Brothers, recent Momus, Avalanches, Hefner, American Analog Set, Handsome Family, Old 97s, St Etienne, Her Space Holiday, Lucksmiths, Ladybug Transistor, Sparklehorse, Push Kings, The Real Tuesday Weld, The Faint, My Favorite, The Incredible Moses Leroy, Takako Minekawa, and whatever else yr classy ears have been enjoying! Right, now it seems like I must not have bought any music in 432589 years, and live in a cave. But I would so appreciate it if you all could help me out here! Sometimes it seems as though there are just too many bands to really know, and I am very curious, if poor! Please mail me OFF LIST if you might be able to help me out! I will make it worth yr while...
