Sinister: Helms, Camera Obscura, criticizing ....

[Andrew CHurchman]

hi all,
    I'm in the posting mood tonight.  On saturday I
saw the most wonderful band... Helms.   They're from
Boston and play lound tremendous noise that turns into
quiet subtle gooves, and intricate rythms, and the
sweetest guitar lines... i could go on and on.  The
bass is steady, the drumming incredible, and full of
triumphant guitar lines.  Unfortunately there weren't
a lot of people at the show because New Jersey is full
of posers and lacks anyone with good musical taste. 
For God's sake, the Lapse played too!  The Lapse!  For
all you "indie" kids Toko was in the Lapse. and Toko
also used to play in eveyone's beloved Blonde Redhead.
 
    ***** B&S content****   I also vote for the band
Camera Obscura from Scotland to change their name to
the Scotland Camera Obscura.  There's already and
insane Camera Obscura from San Diego. 
     hmmmm.... what else to complain about... oh yeah.
 all this ozma and weezer talk on the board.... Here's
my opinion:  Weezer were/are bland, terrible,
rockstars.  Ozma sound extactly like weezer.  Why
bands like that are even allowed to record or possess
instruments is beyond me.  
      i guess that's it for now.  Everyone check out
Aden while they're on tour, and buy that Helms CD.  it
will make you a better peron.
