Sinister: yet another review

[Cynthia Someone]

Stephanie quotes Greta Garbo:
"Even when I was a tiny girl, I preferred being alone...I could give my 
imagination free rein and live in a world of lovely dreams"--Greta 
Garbo.

I could have sworn the quote went: " ...give my imagination free rein 
and live in a world of lovely cheese"

Also: What Is Moog? Not the moogs, just moog, or is that a band as well, 
as in what is that, and how can Buffalo Daughter and belle and sebby 
both have a sparse amount of moog, as reviews have described them both 
as lacking, the two bands having little to do with the other. I have 
decided it's some sort of Post-beckian term, to be thrown about by 
reviewers to look cool and to  sound "in-the-know". Is it some strange 
pedal? A reference to sampling? something they just made up for kicks to 
laugh at us poor suburbians with our bad haircuts and poor supply of 
decent Indian food? Although it's really not so bad, if anyone were  to 
step into Urban Outfitters in Berkeley, you'll see they've made their 
entire store look like the cover art for Spiritualized's "ladies and 
Gentleman, we're floating in space".  Absolutely horrific. Copying is 
such a bore, it's dissapointing.

Nothing else here, no sweetnesses, really, I haven't had a cookie today, 
although i've wanted one since yesterday, the shortbread kind with 
strawberry jam filling. No, jsut a couple of laughs from Infinite Jest, 
by david foster wallace, which has a way of explaining the absurdities 
of American Life, including all current (embarassing) government 
affairs. That and a couple of mushies from the lovely list.

I'm glad everyone's starting to get along.

Cynthia
