Sinister: non-recorded songs
by Paige Rosella 07 Nov '97

07 Nov '97

Hello! I have a question for the ranks in the UK...being in the US, I don't get to hear the radio sessions and whatnot where you have heard the songs unavailable in record-form (or CD for that matter). I'm wondering how many songs are in B&S' repertoire that aren't on any of the releases? I've seen "Modern Rock Song" mentioned, as well as a few others. Can a kind soul send a list of all of them? I saw them here in NYC in Sept. (the Sessions and the Sunday night show), and fell instantly in love with both "Sleep the Clock Around" and "Roller Coaster..." Thanks! Paige p.s. As for claims to fame....I told Mary Lou Lord she had great shoes on once and she looked at me like I had three heads and I saw Neutral Milk Hotel & Olivia Tremor Control in Boston with Rivers Cuomo from Weezer, who is so tiny, I wanted to feed him and take care of him and keep him warm like a mother bird. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Belle and Sebastain. right, now that this is relevant I once kissed the belly button of a girl who got off with Crispin (or whatever) from the long pigs. and the best man and me mam and dad wedding was one of gallagher and lyle. not the one who wrties for tina turner now... someone was ashamed to come from wigan. m,y flatmate comes from there and hes is ashamed too. but he was tought by the mum of Simon Jones from the Verve... bye neil -------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: REGISTER YOURSELF NOW!
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 07 Nov '97

Hi my name is Liz Daplyn (ok it's a wierd surname, I didn't ask to be born to a Yorkshire/Cornish family with a Flemish name, did I?) and I'm currently studying on a Foundation course in Art & Design in Kent and also applying to Fine Art degrees at university. I'm 19 and feel no need to apologise for it, kids. I play the flute and recorders (yes, it is a proper instrument!) quite well, and the guitar very badly. I also sing in a rather high and ridiculous voice, and speak Spanish (A-grade at A-level last year, not to boast or anything). I really should go and get my portfolio together as the deadline for Oxford is next Friday, but I'd really rather sit in the nice warm library than trek down to the studio in the bowels of the building (looks like a prison, highly appropriate for an art college, don't you think?). I like B&S (obviously, but I just thought I'd post that for any morons out there), Sparklehorse, Tindersticks, Rialto (anyone heard the new single? It's ace!), Nick Drake, Kenickie, Radiohead, The Divine Comedy, various other bands of taste and quality, but DEFINITELY DEFINITELY NOT My Life Story - take your tiara and insert it up the orifice of your choice. My birthday is the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings (14th October), which means what you want it to (and that I'm a Libran). So, that's me - note my astounding talent, sparkling wit and devastating intelligence. Do keep in touch, y'all. Lots of something, Liz *Boy on a bike, what are you like?* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: i am feeling sinister
by tinystar＠worldy.com 07 Nov '97

07 Nov '97

Hi, I'm new here and only have "If You're Feeling Sinister", which I love. I live in Toronto, Canada, so it's impossible to find any eps at all, I was going to order them from Parasol but I'm making a trip to Boston in a while, so I'll just get them then. I recognise some names from the indiepop list on here. claim to fame: Talking to Tanya Donelly for 20 minutes in her tour bus when she had pneumonia (just 2 weeks ago!), and having her smile at me from the stage and taking lots of pictures. about me: (which isn't as interesting as one might think) I'm 18, and in my last year of highschool, since Ontario has 5 years of it. I like Can and Wire and Pavement and Galaxie 500 and Pram and Mogwai and B+S (obviously) and lots others, but I won't bore you with a list. I play guitar, but it seems like everyone does. I like hockey and photography, I just bought a new camera and have yet to test it out. And I'm flying to Boston in about 10 days! I've never been before, so this is a real treat. I'm a salesgirl at Eaton's, which is an almost upscale Canadian department store. I work in Children's Wear, so if anyone needs to know about kids shoes, strollers, carseats or clothes, just ask me. I know far too much. truly, jessica tinystar(a)worldy.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Re: seeing other people discussion
by mnol1＠student.monash.edu.au 07 Nov '97

Seeing Other People When I first heard this song my initial impression was, and still is, that it was about a perhaps early teen boy dealing with feelings of confused sexuality. I picture two boys, attracted to each other, and the same sex in general, but who are struggling to come to terms with this - hence they tell each other they are 'kissing just for practice' and that if 'I remain passive and you just want to cuddle...we wont get in a muddle...' Yeah, basically I think it's about what happens when this particular boy realises he is gay - how he deals with it and what sort of thoughts go through his mind at this time. I think the line 'you're gonna have to change and you're gonna have to go with girls, you'd be better off at least they know where to put it' is pretty much the definitive proof that the song has at least something to do with homosexuality - however whether my particular reading is accurate or not, I dont know, but it works for me and that's what I got out of it.

Wahay, So who are all going to the Sat/Sunday gigs in December? I'm living in Leeds at the moment but I'll be travelling down from good ole Glasgow for the gigs. Any ideas of meeting up for travelling / accomodation / hostels / cafes / things? Is there definitely not a third gig?

Sinister: I dunno, young people today, gawd 'elp us if there's a war on
by mctag＠mcmail.com 07 Nov '97

07 Nov '97

Hello everybody, Not strictly a B&S thing, but relevant to the list, I hope.... I've noticed a bit of a trend with the younger members of our extended family of frustration with references to bands they nothing about, especially in the 'claim to fame' department, and a fear of showing themselves up in case they get tut-tutted by more knowledgable people. I also noticed one person's notion that it was the older people who had the more esoteric taste. What I want to say is, firstly, if I've ever gone on about someone relatively unknown and alienated someone, I'm sorry. I'm an old fart by the standards of this list (but young at heart, of course, and only a few months older than Stuart Murdoch), and so it's kind of inevitable that some things I love are from before someone else's time. But I'll also say that I'm learning all the time, I certainly don't feel an authority on everything, and my taste evolves constantly, thanks to the recommendations of others, or from tapes people have done for me, or whatever, as well as things I've found myself. And I don't believe that it's entirely an age thing. I've learnt of loads of things I've missed by people several years my junior, especially things from other countries, lots of ace French, German, Japanese, American and Scaninavian pop. As Keith said, anyone who judges people younger than themselves for lack of knowledge has problems of their own. I know there are people who contribute more regularly than others, but this shouldn't turn into an old boy network. Hopefully, this can be a sharing thing, an open-minded thing, where kids of all ages can offer opinions and options without being sneered at (ugh, I sound like a hippy, but you know what I mean). Claims to fame? Nah, everybody is a star.... Night-night Tag ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
