Sinister: nerds playing lo-fi wearing cardigans.

[Jarkko Fr�ntil�]

I haven't read these posting for a while, been busy doing other things 
(but we wont go into that one here). Well, I decided to read a few today 
and, to my surprise, I felt I HAD to say something.

a)
Nerdy Glasses. I'm all for them. Wearing them right now, I am. Don't 
know how some people could oppose them. The thing that bugs me is those 
fake-nerdys, the ones people use when they have no problem with their 
eyesight. These days people always ask me if my glasses are "real" or am 
I just wearing these to look cool. Blah.

b)
Lo-fi. Hmm, a bit problematic. I've always said, "if it sounds good, do 
it", meaning that you don't need to fill your songs with marimbas and 
xylophones and what ever you have just to get all the tracks filled. But 
then again, I hate that stupid "Oooh- I'll- just- use- my acoustic- 
guitar- play- it REALLY- badly- and- call- myself- lofi"-crap. but I 
quess that makes some people (who can't play their instruments that 
well) feel that they're cool, 'cause then they can count themselves as a 
part of the lo-fi-genre. Using some ancient analogic recording-equipment 
doesn't necesserely make you lo-fi. Try Larry And The Lefthanded 
(finnish band), Opel Bastards (Larryetc guys' sideproject, could be 
categorised as "urbanasphaltfunk") or Bob Hund (swedish perfection) to 
see/hear how it should be done. And no, I'm not just patriotic here when 
talking about Finnish bands, these bands are just the "future" (HOW 
clishee can you get?).

c)
Cardigans (not the band): Yup, you quessed it, luv 'em. The thing with 
these, however, is that I have a bad sweating problem. They're ok when 
you don't have to do anything. But as soon as you have to do some 
physical stuff, lift a box full of books or something (that's one of the 
crappy things that I do here at my work), I'm like a walking faucet 
under my armpits. I even had to order a new "study at Stow"-shirt, 
'cause my sweating destroyed my old one, the armpits look horrible. But 
then again, I just gained 5 kg in 2 months, and the old "study"-shirt, 
size S, looks silly on me. Beertitties aren't that nice, you know. So 
the new shirt is size M. 

I rest my case.

and btw, stupid information that no-one wants to know: I'm listening to 
"Promenade" by Divine Comedy at the moment.

@--->--- luvvie, jake.
