I'm making that > claim right now. See, this is why I don't contribute as much to the list any more: everyone already knows what I think, so me posting is superfluous! Actually, I like what little Chris Knox that I've heard. And E6 was a split decision for me: loved Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control's DUSK AT CUBIST CASTLE, and Of Montreal after and including SUNLANDIC TWINS... not so much everything else E6. Also: the lo-fi movement's lo-finess was not an issue for me. I couldn't possibly love R. Stevie Moore and early punk as much as I do if tape hiss and less-than-pristine recording were issues for me. I just didn't like the music. For the record, I also blame Dinosaur Jr. for a lot of the '90s, even though I don't dislike them. Mr. Mascis' lackadaisical singing and somewhat more jammy guitar work than his punk forefathers influenced a lot of '90s "alternative" bands that I really, really didn't like. later, Miles - -- over a year of feeling guilty about not blogging enough! http://readingpronunciation.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V9 #40 ******************************
