look. If i recall correctly, Seester Deeesco was quoting the gent from 
Hefner. It wasn't a serious statement. Please, let's not get another spat 
started on the list. It will upset Mummy, first of all, and it will just be 
horrible.

 I don't detect any of that on this list most of the time, but 
go to any indie club like the Black Cat in DC and you'll see these indie 
scenesters in full effect.  Its really quite snobbish to assume that because 
you were the only person in your zip code to buy the Rites of Spring LP from 
1985 (mail order via Dischord of course, because retail is way to depressing 
and not nearly indie cool enough), that you've been moved in a way that
people who love Sixpence None the Richer can't appreciate.>>

and he is totally right. but let's just leave it at that, ok?



i just bought a momus album the other day. it's very good, i think. quite the 
lusty fellow though. i'm not sure if the irony is really all that enjoyable. 
but his voice is good, and so's the keyboard bits.
