Sinister: sonar mayhem

[hannah brown]

greetings chumps,

I got back from the Sonar festival in Barcelona today, i had a big long 
sparkly bath and now i am reflecting on it's wonderfulness. There was a 
brilliant selection of bands, dj's and obscure electronic nonsense including 
Bjork, Underworld, LCD Soundsystem and Ladytron. John Peel was knocking 
about and is raving about the festival on his show right now. My mate saw 
him in the chemist with his family, i hoped that i would see him too but i 
didn't, probably because i was too busy staring at the ground looking for 
money in true scabber style.

Ladytron were quite fun but far too po-faced for my liking. I wanted that 
lead singer woman to wear denim and scream a bit. At on point i wanted to 
shoud something obscene like " Cut your hair, it looks shit!" but i didn't 
think they would understand.

Bjork was truely wonderful, but i missed most of it because of the massive 
ques. I stood at the back and strained to get a glimps of her jumping about 
but she was too far awat. I wanted to be at the front so i could be totally 
immersed in her world. It made me shed a little tear.

The highlight of the whole show was Schnider TM. You have got to check this 
lot out. They did that famous cover of "there is a light that never goes 
out" by The Smiths. Anyway, they came on in lab coats and played some crazy, 
cute, amusing electronica. Schnider ended up dancing around the stage like a 
robot and singing a song about vodka&orange and frogs. John Peel is playing 
the gig on thursday and i suggest you listen to it, even for the cool german 
accents. I was a the front whooping like a tropical bird. It's reaal good 
stuff.

anyway i'm off to reflect some more and to try and forget that i'm not going 
to glastonbury again.
