Sinister: blah!

[Adam Chapman]

Apologies for the quality of subject line, there have been somegood ones 
around...

Well hello there.

   We'll take the "I love autumn" thing as read for the mean time, on my 
part at least,though I do, especially those beautiful, sunny, cloudless days 
you only ever get around mid-October in Britain, when theres leaves on the 
ground and they haven't quite lost their crunch as you walk through them. 
Never quite got the same warm feelings about the prospect of winter though, 
perhaps because where i live, it never does it properly. Sure, it gets cold, 
but it hardly ever snows to last more than a day or so and unless you like 
freezing fog and aggressive rain i can find little to recommend it. That and 
at least autumn is properly defined, that is you can tell when it begins and 
ends which is different from all the other seasons that just blend together 
kind of seamlessly. I think B+S fit inmore with a time of day than a time of 
year, say mid to late afternoon at home when you can lean back a little and 
listen...

   I'm not really sure where i stand on the obscure v. mainstream [who loves 
music more?], debate as it strikes me at first as rather pointless being as 
it is somewhat subjectve in its very nature. The way i view it, most of the 
music i like is vaguely obscure, it doesn't mean i love it more for this 
reason, it just signifies that less people share my musical taste - not 
always a plus, i have to explain what everything sounds like [citing 
influences people haven't heard of], and find this a little trying 
sometimes, though again this isn't because of peoples' lack of love, merely 
their lack of curiosity. It also hinges on how you define love - at least, 
love as it relates to musical expression/identification which for quite a 
few people i know borders on obcession. I haven't got an answer, not even 
much of an opinion so i shall end my ramblings here.

Adam
