Sinister: Seymour at w.54th
by Skreddy56＠aol.com 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

>I don't know if anyone else noticed him, but Mr Stein was sitting about >5 feet away from me at the taping of Belle & Sebastians performance on >the american television show "Sessions at West 54th." Before the show, was he the one that they (the security guards) asked to leave because he was from a record label? The whole record company hierarchy confuses me, so I don't know what damn label he was from. --Matt (skreddy56(a)aol.com) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Misheard lyrics
by Yummycats＠aol.com 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

I hate to rehash this topic, but I thought this was funny - When I first heard "The State I Am In" I thought he was singing, "...my brother was gay...and said that he loved me for a while." I thought, hm...incest. Interesting topic. Then I heard another recording of the song and realized it was "took the heat off me for a while." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Seymour Stein
by Neil Hargreaves 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

Hi, This is my first message n'all so hello everyone and... I'm sure I can remember an evening session ... er session when B&S played Seymour Stein and our Steve says... "Oh, that'll be the one about the American Record Label Bosses, wil it?" (or something like that anyway) I can't remember what the reply was (it wasn't definite anyway) but the lyrics of the song seemed appropriate if this was the case. cheers, neil -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

due in (they had a whole 5 copies ordered) but they hadn't got it, maybe tomorrow. 5 copies? i wanted 3 myself... and there were literally [Keith Watson] 5 copies! Bizarre, me and John Stuart just met down the town in Edinburgh at lunchtime today where they've got at least 75 copies of it stacked on one of the main shelves at the front - we are in Scotland I suppose, but I'm sure that doesn't make a difference now - maybe a year ago. Having said that Virgin in Edinburgh has had about that many for both Dog on Wheels and Lazy Line Painter Jane too. No wonder they had difficulty getting into the charts last time if the bloody shops won't even stock the single. Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: more mischief for Kate
by rcoleman＠husky.co.uk 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

Andy has already drawn attention to Kate's contribution to the controversies of genetics. And only last week, during my researches into suitable material for Spanish Language teaching, I bumped into a noble poem in Caribe Communication's site [without reprinting all of it]: --------------------******-------------------------- PIEDRA. por Kate Dornan edad 15, Manchester, Inglaterra. Desde lo profundo la vida parece como única, nadie entiende Mis sueños rotos Cuando te veo... Sobre el autor: Esta es mi filosofía de vida, creo. Tarde o temprano la sociedad nos va a dividir y va a hacernos caer. Vamos a tener que enfrentar la verdad detras de nuestras mascaras y debemos creer que amamos mucho. Vamos a volver a la vida. Usted puede enviar correspondencia al autor Kate Dornan --------------------******-------------------------- So, Kate. We suspect that, inbetween the biochem degrees (awarded with honours, aged 12), you are busy carving out your literary reputation in many tongues. One question remains: how d'y find time to write up to all these lists? In admiration 'Bungaro' Age 21 1/2 P.S. Spinadisc, Coventry, has three 3,6 9..s left at 17:00. They close at 18:00 if you can get there! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

RE: Sinister: 3..6..9
by Keith Watson 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

Have just missed my first lecture due to listening to new EP. I really don't think I'm going to be able to move from my computer(with CD) for this afternoon's lecture. Must withdraw my membership from bored at Uni club. Which was written first Fakers or Elvis ? Nathan [Keith Watson] Presuming that it was Fakers - heard that over a year ago... The other thing is, the version of Le Pastie de la bourgeousie is different to that one on the tape that I gave you recently - odd as all the EP tracks have been exactly the same, especially as they even include the daft end of "You made me forget my dreams" and the strange voice in the middle of "Photo Jenny" I must admit also that I don't find it in the least bit strange that people are listening to music from before they were born or whatever - I was 16 in 1989 and spent the previous 3 years listening mainly to punk stuff (Wire, Buzzcocks, Stranglers, Clash stuff like that) from when I was around about 5 or 6 years old - also listening to the Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, New Order and indie stuff (or if you like... more indie) MBV, House of Love and stuff - plus shitloads of 60's and other 70's stuff too. If you like music, and you buy a lot of it, you're guaranteed to run out of good stuff that's being released currently and will have to go and buy older stuff. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Orders for 3,6,9...
by ben ferneyhough 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

I went down this dinnertime to get my copy, and HMV here in Oxford had ordered 83 (!!) copies on CD, but only 5 12". Apparently, they'd sold 50 copies by 12 O'clock, so at that rate, TOTP here they come !! Just off home now to play it, can't wait. Ben. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Rough Guide anecdote
by unknown＠example.com 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

Here is some background information on the B&S entry for The Rough Guide. I assume that you are talking about the Penguin book that came out last year. Well, 2 Summers ago I received a call from a friend trying to make it as a journalist/writer in London. He just got his first freelance job..... writing entries for a new A-Z book to be called 'The Rough Guide To Rock'. The assignments were divided according to genres. So 1 writer got all the punk from '76 onewards. Another had British indie music of the 80s. Someone else covered Goth. Prog rock from the 70s and 80s were given to one person. And so on. So if a 2nd updated edition is published, the B&S will probably go the writer specializing in UK non-mainstream indie music. As B&S have received nothing but favourable coverage in the NME/MM and many SOTW awards this year; one can safely assume that they will be included. As for my friend, he got his pick of US Heavy Metal and Hard Rock artists. I remember providing info and advice for Jane's Addiction, Guns 'n' Roses, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I proofread his articles trying to persuade him to curtail the "Kerranngg-school-of-journalism" approach. He failed to listen and now writes for Metal Hammer magazine. By the way, I will happily defend the merits of early Iron Maiden, Def Leppard's "Pyromania", Dave Lee Roth's debut and mid-period Metallica. They are all part of my musical exploration and appreciation with no "style bibles" to guide me. I am at ease with having 'Master of Puppets' on the a-side of a tape and 'The Queen is Dead' on the b-side. Mussadiq. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: arse
by Andrew Dean 13 Oct '97

13 Oct '97

just spent my dinner hour on the bus into town and back. it took 1:15 which is 30 mins more than i have for lunch. bet hey, new b&s single out today so... except virgin didn't have any in so it was a completely wasted trip. spoke to the bloke who commented on my t-shirt last time i was there (he didn't seem to recognise me though) and he said that it was due in (they had a whole 5 copies ordered) but they hadn't got it, maybe tomorrow. 5 copies? i wanted 3 myself... and there were literally hundreds of copies of the damn spice girls single on the shelves there. same with woolworths where it looked like the spice girls was the only new single released this week. oh um. still, it means i get to have wensleydale and apple sandwiches from boots instead of the stuff that passes for food in the machines here at work... andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
