Sinister: hmmm- i'm thinking andrei bolkonsky popular

[kmhyde at xxx.edu]

I just had a bit of a debate with my friends, and so 
i'll be an obnoxious pretent and post twice in the same 
day...

we were talking about how the fact that B&S are getting 
so popular (relatively) makes it seem like it's less 
special...and that even though we put up a concerted 
effort not to be elitist 'indie' kids, we still feel 
our collective ire rise when some 'goo goo dolls' 
devotee goes walking around talking about this great 
band they just discovered.

it's frustrating to see something you've liked for so 
long being treated as just another thing; and then 
feeling guilty for feeling frustrated. i'm not making 
sense am i? the endorphins and adrenaline from the 
debate are probably still having their way with my 
synapses.

okay- what i really wanted to ask was this- 
1) do you think they are getting REALLY popular, or am 
i just paranoid and primed to see it.
2) does anyone else feel like it's "your" music....[and 
i mean this in both the most figurative and childish 
sense.] and do you get sort of jealous when other 
people listen?

maybe it's just the combination of qualudes and alcohol 
talking. i dunno. I'm sure I'll hear it from the rest 
of you all "it's good that the band is getting success, 
and you shouldn't be so avaristic- you moron" 
supporters in the morning.

votre petit singe dans le fenestre avec le coq,
