Sinister: BOO! to the business world....
by Sarah 21 Nov '97

21 Nov '97

Really bad news people!!! Ok, maybe good news for you but bad for me! I can only come to the one gig on the Sat. (weep, weep) Are we still going to try and meet up on the Sat before the gig??? Please!! I'll be really upset if everyone meets up the day I'mnot there!!! Misheard lyrics, OK then. I always thought the Stars of track and Field 1st line went 'making you cold turkey day to suit your affairs'. And did I feel a donut when I heard the real words. durr. But thats the only one I've not got. You think Stuart Murdochs voice is hard to understand, have you ever tried to transcribe any Manics songs? JDB has a beautiful voice, he just don't annunciate proper like wot we do! And to whoever wrote about being scared to write to B&S-they don't reply to fanzine questionnaires at any rate. Arse. i shall try again. And I call that evening session guy 'Steve La Twat'. Ooh, the wittiness of me. nahahaha. He just annoys me. Oh, and I love the cookies and cream haagen daaz. so long, farewell, aufwierdersehn goodbye-- Sarah ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: magnetic fields?

Magnetic Fields are one of NYC's best bands. Stephen is the key songwriter but Claudia is a very fixed and essential member of the band as well. An album they did that many are familiar with is the 6th record on London. It was MF songs with guest singers (Amelia Heavenly, Dean Luna, Barbara Manning, Chris Knox, etc) and it's really great, though Stephen's voice is always better than any guest vocalist. He also records under the name Future Bible Heroes (an 8tees synth-pop thing like Anything Box). Merge puts out the MF records in the States. . .don't know about the UK. B&S fans might really like him cause he has clever, witty, ambiguous, foxy lyrics. He's a bit of a downer at times though ("all the umbrellas in london couldn't stop this rain, all the dope in new york couldn't stop this pain, all the money in tokyo couldn't make me stay, all the umbrellas in london couldn't stop this rain . . .").

Sinister: I beg your pardon?
by Peter Miller and/or Arantxa Ubieta 21 Nov '97

21 Nov '97

To alleviate accute suffering at the hands of devious lawyers, I had a listen to IYFS this afternoon with the express intention of mishearing some lyrics. Here's what I came up with: "May gnu cold turkey day...." "Now he's stealing biscuits..." (that one might be real, but I don't want to spoil my enjoyment by looking at the lyrics) "Here on my own now Honeybus..." (a nickname for a bus driver perhaps? The plot thickens) At which point I stopped listening and subjected myself to further torture at the hands of bespectacled lunatics. The fan club website is looking very smart nowadays, and it's nice to see that we, the kids, play an important part in its overall vibe. I used to have an enormous crush on motor racing ace Didier Pironi. That is my meagre contribution to the willy/won't he? sex debate. I was very young at the time, and besides, he's dead now. My entire family are coming to visit tomorrow, so wish me luck. I promise to wear my B&S t-shirt one day to see what daft comments it provokes.

Sinister: Multiple mails and stuff
by P.S.Mitchell 21 Nov '97

21 Nov '97

Apologies to anyone who's received multiple versions of mail messages from the list today - problems on the server on my desk. Think it's all cleared up now but I'll keep an eye out over the weekend. Whoops. Also: bit more stuff on the WWW pages for the list (see footer): some more chords for 3..6..9.. and some more of those wonderful "mishearings" - from the list if you've been paying attention. Any more comments on digest frequency - please send to me. It should be no *bigger* than 1200 lines but now appears once a day regardless - I think. Let me know if anyone thinks it's not doing that: I've probably not got my eye on the ball just now. Oh and we're 365 strong on this list now. Not bad! Hope you all think the efforts worthwhile. I love you all. No confessional from me - not until I write my autobiog. Oh, and sorry Chris - no one sent me their "Sinister Dateline" personal details, so it's back to the bad chat-up lines down the local ornithologist club for you I think...

Sinister: 13th Note
by Mike Appelstein 21 Nov '97

21 Nov '97

<< I wish I could even describe where the Thirteenth note is, but it would be too confusing and I dont even know the street name (I've only lived here for four years). There'll be somebody who knows the name, its on the tip of my tongue.>> It's either Sauchiehall Street or Glassford Street, I believe One of the two, definitely. It's near that big park in the middle of Glasgow, I know that much. Granted, I was only there once, and it was dark and I left the directions to my Glaswegian companions... I've heard rumors that the 13th Note has moved, actually. Which strikes me as strange, 'cuz didn't they just remodel the place? Anyone who has information is welcome to share, since I'll probably be visiting next year and want to pay a return visit. --Mike Appelstein ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
