In a message dated 97-11-24 06:07:02 EST, you write: > profile of film-maker DA Pennebaker, mainly about his 'rockumentaries' > but it also tells us that he is responsible for the interview segments in > the TV programme. After a description for those of us on this side of > the pond (which makes it sound like a programme well worth watching and > not unlike Later with Jools Holland) it goes on: Having seen the show -- who woulda thought that those interviews had any involvement by DA Pennebaker!?! I have found them notably unimpressive, and have been thinking that Douridas was a complete loss as an interviewer. He asked MeChele N'dege Ochello if her name fits on her driver's license... it's usually "in-depth" questions like that so far as I've seen. This past Saturday we were treated to Fiona Apple going on about how she's not a snotty little bitch but just has no time to talk to people because they don't really really listen to her. (We stopped listening, after throwing things at the television. I just love interactive TV). Some guests don't do interviews -- Patti Smith didn't. The musical segments that I've seen are great though. The interviews are taped before the musical segment, without the audience, so I don't know how the B&S interview will be. I'm a little worried, because the band does indeed seem so shy -- I can't see Douridas getting much. But time will tell (hopefully soon -- it isn't on the schedule through December). Anyhow, the interviews ain't no "Don't Look Back." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: This isn't goth (!)
by ***Rob B*** :) 24 Nov '97

24 Nov '97

Just heard Seymour Stein on the Evening Session on Radio One. Great introduction from Steve Lurpak (over the first few bars of guitar, in his usual inimitable style): "This isn't goth either, this is Belle and Sebastian". Hmmmm... Nice to hear the unadulterated ending this time though; I had never noticed "this time" being spoken over the music to indicate the time to end the song. Mainly because Mr. Lamacq (sp?) was talking over it on my last recording of the song. Followed directly by Trembling Blue Stars as well, without so much of a whisper from the dreaded Pacamac... Love, Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: susannah and her dream of Elvis
by susannah 24 Nov '97

24 Nov '97

Back to funny old pop star dreams I'm afraid, No B&S dreams yet but last night I actually dreamt about THE KING! yeah! Well, I was in Elvis's house , it was really old fashioned with bus seat sofas and orange curtains like your grannies house and elvis was sitting there in a chair looking really ill, he was in his sparkly white suit with the big silver belt, and about to go to the big burger in the sky. He didn't look fat at all though, apart from the fact he was going to die, he looked alright. There was a doctor there who took me aside and said " personally I wouldn't give him more than thirty minutes, and it'll be a miracle if he makes it 'til morning, so you'd better hurry up and get his grave ready" Then as if by magic I was in a churchyard with a spade in my hand digging Elvis's grave , and I put up a nice tombstone and everything, but I can't remember what it said on it. The next thing I knew it was his funeral, and he was lying in the grave, no coffin or anyhthing, just there in his white suit with bits of earth falling on top of him, with people throwing red roses into the hole. I wished I had some red roses too, but all I had were some tacky plastic flowers, the sort you get in a greasy caff, so I just chucked those in on top of him. I think thats where it ended, or merged into something else. susannah(a)tormentor.clara.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Misheard lyrics
by MR NICK SANT 24 Nov '97

24 Nov '97

Just a quick note to say that until i got the CD of IYFS, i thought that on Stars of Track and Field, the yrics went "Make a new coat every day" And i've just remembered something else. I was round at a mates house getting glammed up before a fairly recent Manics gig and was playing the same song and i noticed that my friend Pete was actually wearing blue velour (cardigan) and silk (blouse). Take Care, Love & Rage, Nick. (972286231(a)97.lincoln.ac.uk) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Hello everyone. Mark Radcliffe has just confirmed that B&S are on the evening session tonight, along with a session from Ocean Colour Scene (yes !!). I hope it's a new session, but bet it's the one they broadcast in September. Ben. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Future Pilot Aka
by Nigel Turner 24 Nov '97

24 Nov '97

Future Pilot Aka is the brain-child of Sushil Dade, once of The Soup Dragons fame. But don't be put off by this, because, on record at least, they sound very interesting - weird keyboards, sampled vocals, eastern rhythms. Their first single, "Night Flight To Memphis" on Creeping Bent records (as far as I know it was their first) was a collaboration with Kim Fowley, who delivered his trade-mark drawl over the top a cyclic keybord sample, and it's dead good. They have a second single out on Creeping Bent (I can't remember the title) which is a reworking of The Revolutionary Corps of Teenage Jesus/Alan Vega tune, "Protection Rat" (the title's a corruption of that), which I'm sure you're all familiar with? I've no idea what they'll be like live. Nigel xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
