Has anybody heard of Simon Warner - new CD "Waiting Rooms (or how Simon Warner was delayed and his wardrobe suffered for it)" Lush tunes and production, but I am unsure as to his voice! - a gravelly Scott Walker perhaps! Any help please! Philip ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Compo now closed.

Well, it's late in the day and I won't get round to posting this tomorrow. What will happen now is that myself, Paul, Duke and Andy will do something along the lines of: create a text file containing all the entries and mail addresses, post it to each other, giggle at a few of the entries, post each other some more, whittle it down to about 6 entries, argue over a winner, notify the list and re-mail the winning entry to the list. The winner will also be notified privately. Note though, that I havn't given a time frame for all of this! We'll get started and hope to finish it soon, I'll even post a copy of the entries to Belle and Sebastian to read,, this way they can nominate one of the six finalists. Cool? David Kitchen Already very busy creating a mail-out for all of you, and now much busier! -- ******************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/Belleandsebastian.htm mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I mean, not in private : I'm interested in literary advice, too!!! So, in my first posting to the list, I can wet my pants rambling through my tastes (risking the immediate ejection). I believe everything JD Salinger wrote should be a delight for any B&S amateur. Not so B&S, but worth a journey: R.Carver & R.Ford. My last crush: Didier Daeninckx - "Le facteur fatal" ( I read it in Italian, so I don't know the English title). My last shock: Jim Thompson - "The killer inside me" ( it's hard to find yourself sympathizing with a cold blood murderer with not a hint of noble reason in his behaviour). P.Auster: I can't say he's so related with B&S, but his first movie (Smoke) has something to do with Hal Hartley (transitive law:-). OK. That's all.

Sinister: Separated at Birth?
by Dickon Edwards 05 Oct '97

05 Oct '97

Well, I don't know about you, but for some reason I seem to find the following to be similar: 1: the opening vocal melody line to "Dog on Wheels" and that of Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine"? 2: the sleeve to "3,6,9..." and the image of Stuart M and Radio One DJ Jo Whiley er, frolicking on the beach? Or is it just me? I think we should be told :) dickon New Orlando album "Passive Soul" out on Blanco Y Negro Records 29.9.97 website: http://www.totalweb.co.uk/orlando/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: compo
by Hintzm 05 Oct '97

05 Oct '97

Well, this is a very late entry. Anyway... Here I am on my bed last weekend when I was sick. The bottom half of my bed is in front of the window. I put my pillow down there in the mornings when the suns comes in. I pretend it's a daybed. Behind me you can see the fern in the windowsill and a bit of the lawn of the courtyard. My hair is a bit messed up, but that's because I took my shower at 3.30 am. when I couldn't sleep. I have on my wool sweater. I usually can't wear it because it's too warm, but today when I had it on I still had chills. Oh, I have a scarf on too, but that is because I wanted to wear it than having any medical reason. My eyes are closed--I must have just dozed off to sleep. The book next to me is _To the Lighthouse_. Unfortunately I still had to do schoolwork whilst ill. Yeah, some parts of the photo seemed a bit washed out, but as I said that's because the sun was very bright and strong that morning. Although you can't see it, on my desk I had my walkman and the tinny-sounding speakers set up. I was listening to the cassette my father made me--classical music. It somehow seemed proper to listen to it then. If this photo had been taken later in the day, the same exact scene would have been set up, except, perhaps, at night. The window panes would have reflected the flash so parts would still be washed out. Some things are unavoidable.

Sinister: Re: oops -- hit the wrong button
by MWaggner＠aol.com 04 Oct '97

The New Yorker article reads, in (the B&S) part: ....... "To an American fan, the British music scene is a scary paradise. On the one hand, the record companies, the press and the audience all seem more open to unexpected sounds. There is not, as in the United States, a barrier between major and independent labels: the underground can see the light of day in an instant. Elite radio d.j.s, like John Peel, on the BBC, consult their own taste and ignore whatever sinister lottery generates the Top Forty. Lately, programmers and critics have helped make minor hits out of the delicately skewed ballads of Belle and Sebastian, the imposing soundscapes of Mogwai, and the Sonic Youth nostalgia of Placebo. On the othe hand, all this freespiritedness slides a little too easily into a nihilistic lust for novelty. Toread the British music press is to be bombarded by buzzwords for weeks-old styles pioneered by bands that have been around for a few months and will probably be gone in a year."... Article by Alex Ross It goes on to discuss the musical influences on Oasis, Radiohead and other bands. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

The September 29 issue of The New Yorker magazine has and article titled "DADROCK Revisiting the Sixties with Oasis and Radiohead" that echoes many topics that have been discussed on this list (which many probably don't want reopened). The B&S part is as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: re: compo etc
by Andrew Dean 04 Oct '97

04 Oct '97

as anyone else realised that by putting 're: compo' as a subject line and writing stuff in a certain way gets around paul's restrictions on what is and isn't proper subject matter for this list? 8) this one's of a train, the 17:44 from euston to points west. it's now approaching 18:00 and the train's still in the station and tempers are beginning to fray. in the centre of the frame is a youngish girl, black t-shirt with a purple star, blonde shoulder-length hair tied back. she'd be attractive but for the look on her face - she's not happy. knowing that the train was going to be a while she'd just popped out for ice-cream and there it is, a tub in each hand. you can't make out what flavour it is but you know it's going to be expensive (because that's the only type you can buy in railway stations). anyway, she's just got back to find that her boyfriend has given her seat to a stranger and she'll have to stand until at least watford... (i was as happy as a clam. i had anne tyler and a walkman full of swedish pop from thailand for company. and i could claim the whole thing as overtime at about 20 pence a minute...) um, wallace and grommit. you can now officially get anything in the whole world with wallace and grommit printed on it. no, really. (those shawn-shaped shoulder bags always make me smile) oh, and if the person from iceland still wants a copy of tigermilk then just mail me... andy andrew.dean(a)bull.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
