Certainly sounds like a Rolf Harris-thing. Thanks. Oh, does anybody know if This Life is coming back on the BBC? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: A Poem
by Dazza 22 Oct '97

22 Oct '97

Sorry, this really is a waste of your time, but I liked this and it made me think of B'n'S so... A Dark Portrait --------------- She always said "tu" in such a way as if she wanted to sleep with you or had just had a most passionate orgasm And she tutoyed everyone But she was really like Nora in Nightwood long-gaited and restless as a mare And coursed the cafes through revolving doors and nights looking for the lover who would never satisfy her And when she grew old slept among horses - Lawrence Ferlinghetti, 1984 cheers Dazza ************ Ho! Ho! Ho! (only kidding) ************ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: B&S interview on Radio one.
by ben ferneyhough 22 Oct '97

22 Oct '97

My heart just skipped a beat then, when B&S, well Chris and Sarah, were interviewed on 'The Net' radio 1 news programme just about a minute ago. They were going on that they don't do interviews as they'd rather let the music stand for itself, and they all want to stand or fall by the record and let the music do the talking rather than going to NME saying they are the best band in the world. That was a good moment in my dull day at work. Ben. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Re: unreleased tracks in top 10s

me: >> oh, and very little mention of 'is it wicked' in these >>top 10s too, shame on you all. dazza: >Err, perhaps this is because most people haven't heard it? well, they've played it live 4 or 5 times now and plenty of people on this list have heard it (you couldn't spit at the new york gig without hitting someone on this list, less true for london / oxford the month or so before that but there were still considerable numbers of us there). i'm also sure that they all dug it (it's the one where isobel does all the singing) but i guess they just don't know what it was called or didn't want to vote for unreleased stuff (despite it all being head and shoulders above the recent b-sides)(oh, don't go on dean)(sorry) as for unreleased tracks, well, i've done about 20 or so tigermilk tapes for people and made a point of putting all the demo stuff (which turned out to be stuart murdoch on his own, i didn't know this at the time but it makes sense given how it sounds) and sessions things i had on the b-side so that everyone could hear them. i guess all the tapes pam (mmmm, chocolate... thanks) did were the same seeing as her source was identical to mine. (i don't know about the copies ben did). so a lot of you have heard them. but, yeah, still a minority i guess. point taken. dum de dum. oh, the person who wanted tigermilk samples hasn't really been looking, try http://www.geld.com/tweenet/bas/ andy and, woefully off-topic but we've talked about this before so... isn't the new radio 1 breakfast show pants? much better off watching the big breakfast (but not next week as johnny vaughan is on holiday and they got some crap band in instead). or the tellytubbies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: tour diary part 4
by Andrew Dean 22 Oct '97

22 Oct '97

melody maker, last week, blah blah It's Chris. Aye. Myself and Stuart went up to Harlem on Sunday. And went to church. We got up quite early, after the show, and put our smart clothes on and went on the tube to this gospel church. It was amazing. The best music I've ever heard. And the coolest people I've ever met, just totally friendly. And the most ever religious feeling I've felt in a kind of religious place. Totally awesome. I wanted to get up and start shouting something when the choir was singing, but the only thing i could think of was, "F***ing hell, f***ing hell, this is amazing." So I thought I'd better keep my mouth shut. I didn't think they'd take too kindly to some wee guy jumping up shouting, "F***ing hell". Afterwards, I walked back down all the way through Central Park. I took my jacket off and was just walking down with my suit on, walking in the sunshine with all the joggers. It was great. Just a really good day. All right. Bye, bye. (tomorrow: richard, taxis, shops, diners, planes) andy (oh, no need for anyone to chip in with this anymore, i've already transcribed parts 5 to 8 and just have to post them.)(and that's the melody maker's censorship btw) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
