Sinister: Appliance and Fly Pan Am

[Mark Niciu]

Dear Sinister legions,

Does anyone have any information on a band with the moniker "Appliance"?  I 
saw a video of theirs (for "Pacificon") on MTV's 120 Minutes this week in 
the U.S. and was quite impressed.  Their sound is very reminiscent of the 
early Verve alla "A Storm in Heaven".  In addition, CD-Now 
(http://www.cdnow.com) was reticent when queried for information on these 
lads.  All I can safely ascertain is that they released their debut LP in 
mid-October and have an import single available for Amerks to purchse.  For 
all that I know, "Appliance" may not even be from the U.K.

Second, has anyone heard Fly Pan Am's new LP?  Is it worth the investment?  
They were billed by Other Music in NYC as a "Godspeed You Black Emperor! 
side project".  I don't think that this is entirely true, albeit they are a 
quartet from Montreal who play instrumental music like GYBE!.  At least 
that's what I garner from GYBE!'s web site 
(http://www.southern.com/southern/band/GDSPD).

Finally, anyone with any information on the above topics for an ignorant 
bloke like myself, please respond off the list to markniciu at hotmail.com

P.S. Does anyone else find it disconcerting that people actually have dreams 
involving Belle and Sebastian, or more disturbing that people remember this 
dreams vividly and report them as if they happened in reality?  No malice 
against anyone who dreams of Belle and Sebastian or any other musical act 
for that matter, but I just think that it is weird given that most of us 
have never met the chaps and only seen a few scattered pictures pasted 
across the internet.
