Sinister: Word Up-Everybody Sing...*

[Vilkas D'Angelo-Horvath]

Hello Sinister Kids.

MAGAZINE
     Careless Talk Costs Lives:   I liked the issue I read. But it was 
definitely pretentious. Some nice articles, some nice new information. 
Reading it was similar to talking to the snotty guy you know who you would 
enjoy talking about records with, but he's waaaay to cool for you and his 
records are carefully picked to remain cool. But I still liked it, but I 
like Q. Compared to the Rolling Stone magazine and Spin so readily available 
here; it whups ass.

ROCK
     Related to this, my stance on music is: I don't like things that suck. 
I do like things that rock.  And somethimes I like things that suck.

STEAMED HAMS
     Ok. I have a Philadelphia ticket to sell for face value. Y'know now 
that there's a DC show and all. And that the week I'm up with my family for 
my cousins wedding, there's the NY show which will be a nice excuse to get 
the fuck off Long Island. I'm not even staying with them the whole time; my 
best friends live around and visits will occur.  But Still.
     Don't get me wrong, I love all my cousins and aunts and uncles and 
stuff; but they're right wing, conservative, in the Navy, Pro-Life, Roman 
Catholic and I am a far left wing secular Buddhist. I'm not very religious, 
but when put into a situation where Jesus is stalking me at every turn; well 
that's a little odd having to actively pick a side.  Trying to explain a way 
of living that's not actually a religion...whoa. They were surprised to know 
I wasn't even Christian. There are some times when I bite my tongue cos to 
start something wouldn't be a good idea and wouldn't change anyone's ideas 
about anything.  I don't want to try to change their ideas; I just want 
mutual respect. Riiight. So anybody want my Philadelphia ticket?

DC PIC-A-NIC
     There will be a DC picnic. I think me and Jenny Payne are the mummies. 
More info to come. We've got some ideas but suggestions are very very 
welcomed.

ROCK
     Can I say how much I am in love with Ballboy's record/compilation "Club 
Anthems"? They're FAB. And I'm not from Scotland either.  Favourite song:  
"Donald in the	 Bushes With a Bag of Glue", "I've Got Pictures of You in 
Your Underwear" and "One Sailor Was Waving".  For the names of the first two 
alone.  It's nice cos it simple but not afraid to fully embrace Phil 
Spector's Wall Of Sound.  It's Unrest versus Arab Strap. ROCK!

FUGAZI, PINE TREES, RAH-BRAS, A LAKE, AND 34 DEGREES FARENHEIT
     Fugazi played here a few weeks ago. I LOVE Fugazi and have since age 
14. However, due to bastard cars, broke-assedness, and being at jobs instead 
of venues;  I've only managed to see them play out two and a half times 
before. And I'm 27 now. They played at the local posh university that 
funnily enough has the FABulous radio station.  The actual venue was at an 
outdoor amphitheatre surrounded by pine trees, leafy trees, and a lake. It 
was 34 degrees farenheit out i.e. cold as fuck. The local kids, the Rah-Bras 
opened. They rocked.  I've seen them a bunch and this was the best sound 
ever. All their songs sounded so good and so clear yet still ferocious and 
Wrarrrrr. Same with Fugazi, I think the dirt of the amphitheatre and the 
pine trees and shit made fabulous sound conducters. Fugazi played two of my 
fave songs. Merchandise and Reclamation. Reclamation has this beginning 
gittar bit that sounds like the noises Beavis and Butthead make to sound 
like guitars. Or maybe like an actual waterfall. Sounds like "Beirnn neer 
neer neer neer neer neer". And Merchandise was great cos it rocks, is 
righteous, and makes me remember hearing punk rock for the first time and 
how exciting and dynamic this sound was. Telling you lot about this, I 
assume there more than one crossover listeners cos how dull would it be to 
listen to only one kind/speed of music.

     La la luv ya, Vilkas
