Sinister: Poetry and bollocks

[jarkko frantila]

Wohoo, today I'll see Lemonheads live!! Well not exactly: Drug Buddies plays 
Lemonheads, Kurtvana plays Nirvana and... erm, some band plays Pixies today 
at the Semifinal club. I sincerely hope that they Really can play, I've been 
to these tribute-things a few time before and frankly, the bands have been 
awful, these 16- year old kids who don't even know how to hold their 
instruments doing bad stuff to my favourite bands, smiling like idiots 
'cause they know that at least one girl there wants to "get to know them 
better" just because they are in a band. Then those bastards drink beer 
after their gig and fondle their nonexisting groupies ever so gently, like 
all teens do, hand on their arse and sticking their toungues into their 
mouths. ... Who, me jealous because I can't play anything? Naaa....

This reminds me of something. I once was in that same club to see Candy 
Darling (one of the best bands in Finland, but you don't care, do you?) play 
Velvet Underground and Lou Reed songs. Well I thought so. Never mix Vodka, 
beer, cider and wine together. They just don't make you feel good. So after 
they start their first song, I'm off to the loo. I come back 45 minutes 
later to hear the last notes they play. Never mix your drinks, I say. But 
that was two years ago, and I haven't done it since.

Ok, and now, for the sake of pissing people off, here's my VERY 
B&S-influenced lyrics to my friends band. If you don't like it, you don't 
have to read it. And this is actually a true story, you know.

                 She said: 'Boy, you're still a child
                 So cheer up and smile.
                 Let us be friends
                 do not fantasize
                 about anything else
                 we had fun
                 but it's not our time...'

                 Well she had a femalefriend
                 who had a crush on her
                 she took her by the hand
                 while dancing to The Cure

                 'It's ok, I'm just a little confused
                 She's nice and all
                 but I'm more hetero
                 than gay
                 (and besides, I'm only happy
                 on saturdays
                 other days
                 im so very very bored ...)

                 but if I could choose
                 I'd go to Spain on my
                 holiday...'

                 Well the thing behind it is
                 she had a fling with a gigolo
                 about three years ago
                 in a seaside town
                 in the disco downtown
                 drunk as hell and only a teenager
                 Did it do any good for you?

                 It didn't
                 or did it?

Wee.
