Hullo List, Had an interesting day, thought I'd relate some tidbits. First, let me see, what I have I got in my bag of quoted posts... Says Jason Brent:
Anyways, I noticed that he was playing all his choices on vinyl. When I asked him why, he said everyone knows that cd's are going to turn to dust in 25 years! Instant anxiety attack insued!!! He said most of the TRUE music fans he sells to have all switched back to vinyl. Is anyone else aware of this? Do you people buy cd's, or albums? Needless to say, I grabbed
The deal is, some very old compact discs, from around '87 or so, have had some problems. At certain plants, the ink written on the CD has bled through the plastic as the years went by and pretty much ruined all CDs made at those plants. No one knows what the future of the rest of CDs holds, but they're probably okay. Then again, you never know. No one knew that color photographs fade after a time. At least, the ones made by today's processes. So the same sort of thing could happen, who knows. Lesley Jo, back on her own writes:
PTOOEY!! to the voting booth! I demand to know if anyone on this list truly believes that "Arab Strap" is more deserving of top rating than > "Judy and the dream of horses" or "Photo Jenny" or "if YOu're feeling > sinister" or "Lazy...Jane". cos anyone who does, would just be plain > silly!! this is an outrage. I shall be entering my protest vote forthwith.........(tho i can't comment on Modern Rock song as i have yet to hear it!)
No qualms have I with Arab Strappy on the top of the charts, but there are numerous songs I too think should rank above it. I'm probably the only hardcore proponent of "Electronic Renaissance," but oh well. I would like to proclaim the TRIUMPHANT VICTORY of Loneliness of Middle-Distance Runner over all foes! Huzzah! I don't understand people's fascination with Modern Rock Song, as it's one of my least-favorites. Too, I'm not that big of a fan of The State That I Am in. But of course we all know that Sinister has diverse tastes. It was a nice day out today, unseasonably warm, even. A nice breeze was blowing. I took this Ink Polaroid, so I'll let you all see. The picture is of me, though it's been taken from behind, so those of you unfamiliar with the back of my head may not of realized that it was me. It's decidely fall in Athens, and the air is thick with humidity, and a bit warm. I'm carrying a jacket with me, but I'm just wearing a T-shirt just now. It looks a bit odd, as I'm crossing a square, and as I'm walking I'm looking straight up at the sky. Then as your eye trails up to the sky, you notice all the leaves being blown about. Evidently I'm watching the leaves as they're blown about by the cool wind that is cutting through the humidity. They fall down slowly, billowed by the wind as they are, sort of like large, brown snowflakes. It's really quite pretty. A cursory examination of the lower regions of the picture yields several piles of leaves from the brilliantly yellow gingko tree in front of me. The wind is blowing them about in little eddies and whorls. There's a few raindrops on the wind, but they don't seem to bother me much. They're pretty infrequent, and cool rather than cold. Kind of nice actually. Later on the rain was to pick up, a few hundred paces from my apartment, and I had to don my jacket and pull the hood over. Despite the rain, upon getting to my apartment I grabbed an umbrella and while the rain spattered upon it, I picked up my mail, which to my surprise, included a recording of my next release! I'm quite pleased, needless to say. I must be off in a second, but first I must say I was able to wear my Study at Stow tee today (that's the one from the polaroid). I managed to find a fan amongst the masses, someone I used to have a huge crush on, who's dating my assistant from the radio station. She has good taste otherwise too. He doesn't like them much yet, of course, but he will... /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - bp224995@oak.cats.ohiou.edu - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - (same e-mail for now) | | Sandcastle Homepage - | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | - Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
