Sinister: New to the list and grovelling for help
by jon＠mammoth.demon.co.uk 23 Nov '97

23 Nov '97

Hello all I just thought I'd say 'hello' to you all, and say how glad I am that there are people out there talking about B&S....I heard 'If you're feeling Sinister' at the beginning of this year (okay so I was behind the times...) and I've been hooked ever since, but I haven't been able to get a copy of 'Tigermilk' and I havn't been in the house when they've been on the radio, so I have a request to make of all you nice folk out there... Can anyone please tape me a copy of 'Tigermilk' as well as the three Radio One sessions???? I will, of course, supply blank tapes and postage ( as well as my eternal gratitude...) I hope you can help me, and I hope that the two people whi I emailed from the mailing list archives - who I think may have received a garbled message from me - can forgive me for confusing them :) Anyway, I live in hope that my search will heard here on the list, and boy am I glad that we'll get some decent reviews of the Manchester gigs rather than bored music journos in the NME Later JON PS: Just heard the Norman Cook remix of Cornershop's 'Brimful of Asha' on Xfm and it is amazing...... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Is anyone / Does anyone know someone going to the gig on the 28th from the Southport area of Merseyside? I`m having enourmous difficulty finding someone to go with ( everyone complains of that stupid thing called work ). Cheers, Tim. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: sfa and b&s and cheese on toast on sat.
by Sarah 23 Nov '97

23 Nov '97

Hi people! Just thought I might mention that B&S are a new hot topic on the Super Furries list!!! And they've got a lot of fans there! A sfa/b&s thing going on? Well, B&S have got the analogue synths on Electronic Renaissance there! Does anyone (Katrina?) know who the Pet Shop Boys fan is in B&S because ER is very reminiscent! So anyone going to Manchester on the Sat wants to meet up? I hear the cafe on the top floor of Afflecks palace does the best cheese on toast in the world! sayonara!

Re: Sinister: spiritualized

Spiritualized is an offspring of Spacemen 3 led by Jason Pierce. They have released the indisputable album of the year called LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE. It is as sonically and lyrically devastating as IF YOU'RE FEELING SINISTER is charming and inspiring. Every song is a symphonic wonder and the record thunders with gospel choirs, orchestras, guitars and synths and the band is kick ass as well. I can't go on enough about this record. The DARK SIDE OF THE MOON of the 90's. I have not seen them live yet but I will in a couple of weeks. It took a while for LADIES to replace IFYS as my favorite album of 1997, but it is undeniably better. steve matrick >does anyone know anything about the band spiritualized? they are playing near >where i live and i want to know if they're worth seeing. who or what do they >sound like? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I'd heard it was going to be Dec 27, a split show with (another of my faves) Jane Siberry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: TOP 10 RESULTS
by hugh.atkins＠virgin.net 23 Nov '97

23 Nov '97

Thanks to all who sent their lists in, including the last minute ones this morning! The results were calculated using the famous EUROVISION SONG CONTEST SCORING METHOD ie 10 pts for first choice, 9 points for second etc. Apart from the top ten songs, I also used the lists to determine the following information - TIGERMILK is slightly more popular than IF YOU'RE FEELING SINISTER, and the three EP's are in this order of popularity: 3. 3,6,9 seconds... 2. LLPJ 1. Dog on wheels It seems that most people have a copy of Tigermilk, but those who don't voted like this: 10. DOG ON WHEELS 9. FOX IN THE SNOW 8. YOU MADE ME FORGET MY DREAMS 7. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN 6. STRING BEAN JEAN 5. LIKE DYLAN IN THE MOVIES 4. GET ME AWAY I'M DYING 3.= SEEING OTHER PEOPLE 3.= STARS OF TRACK AND FIELD 2. JUDY AND THE DREAM OF HORSES 1. THE STATE I AM IN And now the moment you've all been waiting for............... THE OFFICIAL B&S TOP TEN SONGS (including all songs, released and unreleased) 10.= LE PASTIE... 10.= PHOTO JENNY 10.= WE RULE THE SCHOOL 9. LLPJ 8. JUDY AND THE DREAM OF HORSES 7.= BELLE AND SEBASTIAN 7.= STRING BEAN JEAN 6. EXPECTATIONS 5. SEEING OTHER PEOPLE 4. MY WANDERING DAYS ARE OVER 3. GET ME AWAY I'M DYING 2. SHE'S LOSING IT 1. THE STATE I AM IN Of the unreleased songs that received votes, MODERN ROCK SONG is the most popular. I could probably do some more in-depth analysis with the all the results, but I was crap at maths in school and you probably don't care anymore now that the final 'chart' has appeared. And before anyone asks, the song that received the least votes ? There wasn't one. We love all the songs, don't we... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: magnetic fields?

> I have heard the name magnetic fields in several places. I was just wondering > who are they and are they any good?? They are an American band (or rather a bloke called Stephin Merrit, with various collaboraters and musicians who seem to change each album),...sound a bit similar to B&S..., they are absolutely brilliant and you should go out and buy all their records now and come to my disco and dance to them too!!!....recommended releases: all of them but especially the 2 album CD "The Wayward Bus/ Distant plastic trees" and the "House of tomorrow" EP Chris C.B.Stride(a)Sheffield.ac.uk *** daytime: 0114 2223262 *** *** FAX 0114 2727206 *** ** NEW ** evening: 0114 2306539 ** NEW ** "Watford FC Supporters - South Yorkshire branch" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Sessions @ W. 54th
by Amanda Bergman 22 Nov '97

22 Nov '97

Well, I've been diligently checking the Sessions homepage for weeks now... And today I checked the "Upcoming Sessions" schedule (through next year) BUT THERE WASN'T ANY LISTING FOR THE B&S SESSIONS! Why is this?? Has it been cancelled? Or maybe postponed so that its airing will correspond with the release of the Modern Rock Song EP or new album?? Answers, I need answers! So I can set my VCR!! thanks, Amanda ------------------------ Amanda Bergman Northwestern University a-bergman(a)nwu.edu "At another table, a girl stared solemnly into her cup.
