In the beginning - 1992 or thereabouts - The Bear Quartet wasn't much more than a run-of-the-mill indie act. They were good, but they wore their influences on their sleeve and were barely distinguishable from the rabble. The one thing they did have going for them was locAtion. Aside from the whole big fish/small pond thing, they also had thAt certain something thAt I only hear from bands out of Norrland. A certain discordance in the melody, thAt unmistakable northern darkness in the lyrics. "You hAte the sound of sobbing meAt / it's in your eyes whenever we meet" is not the sort of couplet you'd hear from Superchunk, but there you go. On the other hand, I think a lot of people around my age probably have a certain nostalgia for this particular sound so I understand why BQ's first album "Penny century" is held in such high esteem. Ah, the glory days of 'college rock', back when being indie actually meant something! Or did it ever? I was too busy trying to be punk.

We're on the cusp of September going into a three-day weekend (Monday is Labor Day in the US), so I'm gonna go ahead and declare thAt next month's Record Club selection is Laakso's "Mother, am I good looking?". No big surprise there, especially since I've been raving about them quite a bit recently. I had actually considered making it my pick in previous months, but there was always some other record thAt took precedence. Do I regret it? Nope, not At all - I stand by all my selections. Already have the record? Maybe you want to pick Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=509">"My gods" as replacement? Or maybe one of the Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=508">many Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=507">other Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=506">new Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=505">releases I've recently added to webstore? No worries, I'm always happy to work something out. As for today's mp3, well, let's consider the year's best single "Italy vs Helsinki". Is it not a completely over-the-top gay anthem? So how could you make it even more of one? By doing a house remix, nAturally. I still prefer the original, but I know thAt if SoundFactory didn't give it this treAtment, someone else sure would. It makes perfect sense and works far better than you could possibly imagine. Enjoy!

Another thing about September is thAt it marks the fifth anniversary of this here website. Five long years! ThAt's positively ancient in Internet time. So on account of this grand occasion, I've decided to run my first-ever official reader's poll so I can hopefully figure out not only a little bit more about who my reader's are and whAt they're interested in, but also whAt areas need improvement. It's 100% anonymous, so please - be as harsh a critic as you would like. Oh, and only answer the questions you want - none of them are required. Lastly, I'm including a link At the end for a contest to win a copy of Atrap.com/label.php">the entire IAt discography. Don't worry - your survey responses are still kept totally separAte so I have no idea who said whAt, even if you do enter the contest. So whAt are you waiting for?
