it's funny that you would mention a dislike for AP. i still read it all the time because some of the reviews are good, and it's always nice to see some pictures of bands you like. however, of course i still think it's cheesy. they did an interview with tortoise, the mellow instromental groove machine from chicago, and they asked rather cheesy questions and tortoise was all kurt and funny with them. then i just read a newer interview with tortoise and they were talking about how they did this interview with all these cheesy questions like "why did you decide to start an instrumental band" and "what do you think about the term post-rock" and those were the questions AP asked. hee hee. puncture is rather swell. (if you're into that indie rock sort of thing.) the feature that they ran on belle and sebastian was rather swell itself. it was long, and gave lots on insight. and they showed some rather swell pictures of isobel. isobel is swell. however, personal and diy zines rule the world. and my girlfriend, amanda, named her sunflower plant sebastian and her littler plant belle. she was the one who turned me on to belle and sebastian back in the day. i went to the analphabetamenies page, and i listened to the sound clip. it's ska alright. it's not so bad either. the trumpet playing sounds sweetness to me. love; christian jay sienkiewicz the expandable, to some extent, fish. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
