>Can anyone remember anything re. Drop Nineteens? 
I wish I could.

>aaah the long lost days of 92 - the drop 
>nineteens were all nineteen 
>(inspired) and did the really quite wonderful 'my 
>aquarium' ('when you 
>smiiiile - i think it's bedder the second time 
>around, and at the end - you 
>can do it agaaaaain...') thems were the days.


i remember the drop 19s only cause they wrote a song
about winona ryder and it was ok but the rest of the
album was dreadful, then i saw them live and paula hot
rod was seen, by me the horror, kissing mat from
revolver and the dropsies became an enigma after that
because of perceived bad taste.  actually though
revolver's 'cold water flat' was one of the best
shoegazing records ever, maybe.

i was rebutted on another list by mcmicker, i guess no
new hopkirk and lee album is imminent(no wonder it is
raining here today for the first time in eons) and
also they are not actually the new moose.  he claims
moose have covered a lot of ground and my comparison
was ill advised.  sorry.  
apparently they are not the new belle and sebastian
either.  sorry, again.

also, apparently, 'the model' is a sped up version of
century of fakers, i don't really hear the similarity
but i have a tin ear.  i suppose i don't listen close
enough to make such empirical observations.  
sorry.

is salako's ep on elefant part of their ongoing ep
series?  

it is a swell ep.  am i allowed to talk about salako
on this list?

i like how european labels tend to press their singles
and lps on heavier vinyl.  us labels too often pass of
myelin sheath thickness records that come ready warped
and nearly unplayable.
