Sniv and In Sides are pop? Uhm, I always thought of pop as more of the music you'd hear 3 dozen times a day on the "#1 hit music radio station" in between the various advertisemnets for euro-wannabe dance clubs and station contests... To the point of "The Saint" being considered pop.. I have to question whether this is accurate. I think "too mainstream" is what people are driving at, almost to the point of drawing up similar distaste to the repetative boringness of Daft Punk. Ugh. WHOA.. here we have it. Some girls just walked by, the same girls who play nothing but R. Kelly and Spice Girls and DMB all day long, and Petrol found their ears. Both found it necessary to stop, enter the room, and not only priase the music, but ask who it was by. "Hrm. We've never heard of Orbital" - Pop rockers. Go figure. .jeremy. .......................... jeremy j roethel (JR587) xanth@3Sheep.COM pgp key id: EB6EF2C5 "life w/o smiles sucks." ::::::::::::::::::::::::::
