	I apologize for being wrong. It's just that I've never seen a picture
of anyone in non-Top 40 UK band that wasn't white, except Jyoti Mishra
and the fellow from Cornershop. Perhaps it's just the bands I
like.

	For some reason this just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, the idea of
someone being irked that a number of fans of a wimpy (yet tuneful)
little folk-pop band aren't fans of deafening guitar squeal and power
riffage is rather ludicrous to me. Of course, there's nothing wrong with
someone liking both, it's just that I think it's very odd to expect
people to, or at least get angry (or, irked) if they don't.

Also, Cynthia queries:

	By a stroke of fate, the LP is "Brasil" by Joao Gilberto (sorry, I
can't do the proper squiggly marks), Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethania, and,
yes, Caetano Veloso. Quite a lovely long-player. 

João Henrique Horst electrically pens:

	True, I did miss that point. I guess it's hard for me to think of
Stereolab, EBTG, etc as bossanova.
