Sinister: The mailing list formerly known as being about B&S

[Stuart Gardiner]

We seem to be divided into two categories here (or three if you count
the people who just don't give a toss and are probably getting bored of
all this!);

1. The 'hard-core' indie fan. Listens to John Peel. Thinks variety means
hearing as many different bands as possible, preferably ones no-one has
heard of. Thinks credibility is gained by having seen "Tonto's Exploding
Penis" playing down the Frog & Sprocket on a Monday night in January.

2. The 'mainstream' indie fan. Listens to Mark Radcliffe. Thinks variety
means having Carter USM, Ben Folds Five, Divine Comedy, Space, Radiohead
and Abba in the same CD collection (all examples from my own as it
happens). Doesn't care about credibility.

Now obviously it's not for me to say which is right, everyone's welcome
to their own taste. But every person on this list has one thing in
common, a love of B&S, so let's not turn this into a slanging match
between 'real music fans' and the rest, OK?

Oh, and Duke, I would rather listen to ANY guitar band than the Spice
Girls...
