Sinister: Re: my previous mail
by Richard Lander 31 Oct '97

31 Oct '97

I was supposed to be replying to R E W Butler privately but I got mixed up. I therefore committed the twin crimes of not being off topic and also using a rude word! Sorry for both transgressions. Just out of interest however does anyone else on the list live in a far off corner of the globe? Do you find it easy to get hold of B&S records where you live? Here in Hong Kong we have 5 HMV shops and 1 Tower Records, none to my knowledge have ever had B&S records in. I have had to rely on ordering them from David & Katrina.

I not sure if they're still together, LLPJ is the first I heard of her in ages. They had an album out "Rifferama" in 94 (i think) and the single "So Glad" which the music press liked. I remember reading Monica's voice described as "Tammy Wynnete with a hard on", an image which I have since tried in vain to get out of my head. I used to play in a band, and we practiced at the same time at the same rehersal rooms as Thrum. I remember once hearing a lovely gentle voice and investigating to see Monica singing to herself on her guitar, and I was quite taken. Then the rest of her band arrived and it's like "WWWWWAAAAAAaaAaAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA". Jesus. I have to say it is a remarkable voice to come out of someone so small. I like her bit in LLPJ. I like it with a cringe if you know what I mean. The same way as I find PJ Harvey attractive. She scares me but i've started to like it. That is all. from Chris > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

In a message dated 97-10-30 08:09:06 EST, you write: > The song "Cecelia" reminds me of when I > went on a school trip to Butlin's Barry Island.

"Cecilia" was on the > radio as they yelled at me to get in position to jump off. > The soldiers were singing, but instaed of the real words > they sang, "Cecilia, you're breaking my fart" which was > quite disconcerting at that age. Not to turn this into a list about a small guy with a bad haircut, but this reminded me about when I was young and silly (as opposed to old & silly). My friend & I used to drive to Alice Cooper's house, a huge stucco mansion with a cement roof, set up on a hill (rumor was there was a huge pit dug in the living room). We would leave bizarre things like stuffed parrots and fireworks on his gate. We believed that, if we heard the song "Kodachrome" on the way to the house, we wouldn't get caught trespassing. Oh -- I can indeed relate this to B&S: The person who first played IFYS for me also confessed to driving by Alice Cooper's house, only he had to drive about 30 miles to get there, and was always in trouble for taking his parents' car so far. Sorry to reminisce. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: rough guide - Do you remember the first time?
by Johnston, John CT 30 Oct '97

30 Oct '97

I'm all for a collaborative venture for this Rough Guide entry. My idea would be to include something about how their music has spread around the world, if there was a general pattern. How did the magic of B&S first enter your hearts?? I'd like to know how they've been chanced upon across Europe and in America, Canada, Australia, Thailand... Maybe this isn't suitable for the guide but I'd still be interested. I'll never forget being metaphorically (I was sitting down at the time) stopped in my tracks by hearing The State I am In on the radio when Mark and Lard did the graveyard shift on Radio 1. That would probably be number 1 in my "Belle and Sebastian magic moments" list as well. I just sat there thinking "WOW!!!". So that's how I began. How was it for you. To take the pressure from Paul's flu wracked frame [hope you're better soon] I'd be happy to collate any info on this particular thread. So you can send it to me or share with the group as you see fit. john xx "..and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: please god no don't let it be true
by mctag＠mcmail.com 30 Oct '97

I don't know if anyone remembers this but it's been causing me sleepless nights. When asked about their influences, one member (I forget who), replied 'does Eric Cantona think about George Best when he puts one past Liverpool' (or words to that effect). Surely this obviously tasteless remark showing apparent sympathy with the evil red scum that strut around week after week, and their pathetic following smugly occupying the bars of the Home Counties cannot go unpunished. A misquote perhaps 'Surely Gio Kinkladze doesn't think about Sir Francis Lee when he's putting one past err..Swindon'. I hope we can ensure that this obvious faux pas is never repeated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
