Not enough hard rock on this list. I suggest we listen to Prolapse. Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem, girlfriend, lemme break it down for you again. Eeeee, bitter/cold. I don't like turncoats. All the people on this list sure weren't half this adorable in 1992. What I mean is that they were all listening to Fugazi and Mudhoney and the Dead C and shit like that because it was vogueish to be into, you know, the 'extremes of rock', all the Stooges and stuff. Well, now that bowel-loosening guitar distortion can be found on every local "Hot Pop Tarts" radio station the one-step-ahead crowd only feels comfortable admitting fondness for soft-spoken Angloid bands, by and large.... Don't think that yours truly isn't at least partly implicated as well. If you'd described Felt to me then I'd have certainly had no interest in ever listening to them. I still love the Stooges, and I don't know if you've heard Prolapse.... I think they're pretty funny, but whatever. I also love the Divine Comedy (and Belle and Sebastian, duh) but it just seems that this "orchestral pop" wavelet is already getting swollen with cellists-come-lately, know what I mean, that is, for me any band that will come on the scene right now with some swelling string sections and sly, blase lyrics would evince an instant kill-at-will response. I wonder what today's junior highschoolers will make into their revolution, soon to become its own worst mockery. I have a friend who loves the Divine Comedy only because Hannon looks so Divinely =bored= on his covers, just so, so cute. She sold her album back to the store when she lost the insert. Still, that haiku sort of hurt. =-= ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
