Sinister: definitions etc

[Maddalo at xxx.com]

hi, i'm emerging from perennial lurkerdom just to say a few words.

i've never been sure what emo / twee / etc are.  but then again i am weirded out by people who insist on these quasi-teutonic classifcations for music.  and i always get chided by my friends with REAL indie street-cred for saying that.  (because they think it's totally justifiable to say, "oh yeah, this is post-punk ska with a little disco influence" etc.)

i think the best description of b&s was "sunny pop with rainy lyrics" but i can't remember where that came from.  a review somewhere?  maybe somebody knows.

and why isn't anybody talking about the brooklyn concert last night?  i only got to hear the last 5 or 6 songs (from "judy and the dream of horses" onward) because i was trapped at a rehearsal in manhattan.  so i was hoping somebody would fill me in on what else they played, etc.

xo
