November 1997 - Sinister

Sinister: Some B&S content, then I got distracted and started talking about ice-cream.

Hello kids, I sent a mail asking about B&S being on 'Later', in a couple of weeks. Except I didn't actually mention them by name. And no-one replied. I hope no-one really thought I meant Deacon Blue, it was a joke (I know jokes are supposed to be funny, but...). Anyway, does anyone know anything about this? Maybe Katrina knows. It may well prove to be total lies, but 'I heard it through the grapevine'. Errr, can't think of anything else. It's raining. I'm tired. No girl depressions to share with complete strangers. No lyrics to ask about. Still haven't got 'Tigermilk'. Nicholas in Athens just happens to know a very good friend of mine who lives out there - 'spooky coincidence'. Anyone got any good 'sinister' coincidences? Any good jokes? Read any good books? It's been said that Carson McCullers' 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' is the ultimate B&S book, so up yours Jack Kerouac (apart from 'Maggie Cassidy' which rules). Seen any good films? 'Will it snow for Christmas?' is totally loveable. The wonderful 'Time of the Gypsies' was on TV a couple of weeks ago and I intend to sit down and watch that again with a big tub of strawberry cheesecake Haagen Dazs (or however you spell it, (or however you spell it. Do they still make 'cookie dough dynamo?'. I'd heard they stopped making it, which is an outrage because that was my favourite and quite a lot of other peoples's too...mmmmm....cookie dough) and lose myself in it all over again this weekend, cos it's last time I'll be free at the weekend until 1998. Such a dizzy social whirl...but right now I'm bored. Oh sod it. Better do some work. Tag ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Mancunian tickets
by Paul Forsyth 20 Nov '97

20 Nov '97

Hiya, Thanks you David & Katrina for the Manchester mailout. I was due to head out the door but left it for a bit while I read it over a bit more breakfast! I was wondering if the tickets for the Christmas concerts had a 'time available from' on them, as I've just tried the Piccadilly ticket office and also Stargreen in London. Piccadilly said to phone back this afternoon to find if they are carrying the tickets but Stargreen hadn't heard of the gigs. Any ideas? Cheers Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Re: Sinister: Re: On the radio

I've always assumed that "Songs for Children" is a song about when they were on the evening show on Radio 1 being interviewed by Mark Lamarr in Sep 96, they were basically having a laugh, taking the piss out of Mark Lamarr, Chris talking about his essay on Foucault and Stuart remarking "F**Koff" sounding similar and then roaring with laughter as Mark Lamarr fails to count correctly twice the number of words in the title of Judy and the dream of Horses. This was the first radio session they did, so it kind of matches up with the words in the song. Keith. Gone a bit bloody quiet of late hasn't it? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Re: Sinister: Re: On the radio: misheard lyrics

Too true! This b/f confusion seems to be the cause of most B&S lyrical problems - I always thought it was "you were the honey bun in town", which is quite sweet I suppose. And I was convinced it was Bella who was ill, which sort of alters the whole context of the song really. smundy97 (still directing traffic on the disco floor) In a message dated 19/11/97 10:54:52 am, Nick_Dastoor.BSHO(a)NOTES.compuserve.com wrote: >On their theme tune Stuart Murdoch seems to >sing his F's like B's.

Sinister: cover me badd
by Cairns 20 Nov '97

20 Nov '97

A bit out of date, but... I know of two bands who do B&S covers. The first is Polar Bear, who are now called something else, and who did loads in their soundcheck at the Intercity Crawl. The second is Fleck, Wigan's IndieRock superstars-in-waiting, who do a splendid version of "Get me away from Here I'm dying" .

I'm neither a computer expert nor aware of Pegasus, but my Eudora Light mailing software offers the option to "leave mail on the server" (under Special/Settings/Checking mail), which means that every single mail one has _ever_ received via one's e-mail address would pile up the provided quota of _server_ disk space. Under Eudora Light, the option is switched _on_ after the installation process. After receiving a similar message, I've switched the option off _permanently_ and removed more than 1000 mails left on the _server_, since received e-mails are safely available on my hard disk (that is, unless I delete them by purpose). In other words, leaving mails on the server only ensures additional copies. That option _may_ be your problem, but you'd have to find out how to clear server space _online_ under Pegasus (read that "message" carefully) ... Ooops ... apologies for another lengthy mail, only thought some others may be interested as well to prevent similar troubles in the future ...

Sinister: Too fast...
by Paul Forsyth 19 Nov '97

19 Nov '97

Hiya, Just whiling away the hours... Now that I get the digest version I am wondering if it actually takes me longer to read the digest than it did to read the numerous single messages! I managed at the weekend to introduce some of my friends to Belle and Sebastain. We were in Great Yarmouth in one friend's parents caravan for a weekend of doing absolutely nothing at all (except for 'socialising' and getting up at 2pm for three days on the trot). On the Sunday evening I brought out 'Tigermilk' which had the effect of them wanting to go out and get 'Sinister'. I don't know if they have yet, but I hope they have. This morning was a bizarre Tigermilk experience. In the middle of trying to wake up and get ready for Uni I was made a tape up of Tigermilk and various sessions but I was pressed for time so I hit the 'high' speed copy button. To hear Tigermilk at speeds Donald Duck can sing to is quite something. I followed and hummed the lyrics rather well, under the circumstances, though I gave on 'Electronic Renaissance' when it turned into a club song. back to work...
