Sinister: obscure records
by Gordon A Rogers 02 Dec '97

02 Dec '97

Not really obscure more like embarrasing (and christmassy) - "Keeping the Dream Alive" by Freiheit (top German soft rock). On a more obscure front - "Sitting Pretty" by the Pastels (With a beard scribbled on Stephen Pastel, apparently, drawn by the man himself) Please forgive my Freiheit faux pas - I think I was only nine years old. Remaining on the obscure tip does anyone remember a band called Mr Rays Wig World they were terrible. - Gordon ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: some questions
by Richard North 01 Dec '97

01 Dec '97

As a "newie" to the list I need a few questions answered What did "IYFS" get in its NME review? Is "T" going to be rereleased? Are Belle and Sebastian going to play a London gig some time next year? What is the track called at the end of the 3..6..9 seconds of light EP? No fuss please only quick, short answers Sorry if anyone was offended by my joke but just like the Diana jokes, although you'll be so *sorry* to tell them, they'll be reverberating around your office like so many bouncing balls from the paw of the pink panther or just Northy being escapist? _________________________________________________ ``A man is as old as the women he feels.'' - Groucho Marx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

stephen (whose name i spelt wrong last time. and i spelt his second name wrong the time before that too, sorry) >Well I'm sure you're all holding your breath in >anticipation... >The correct answer to the question 'Name the Beatnik member >of Top Cat's gang?' is... um, i plumped for choo-choo myself, at least i did before i found a decent hanna barbera site (and you had to look for hanna barbera and top cat using lycos because if you only used 'top cat' you'd get back links like this one: >swimsuits iku always wild cat champioships panty live asia >legal filth housewives pornstar sensuous behind trade orgy >mpegs cumshots mini skirt watersports xporn disney pictuers >vivian hsu getting fuck pics hairy crawford ready daily >http://www.sexcolors.com/file/_0555.html [99% relevant] which i'd hate to have to explain to anybody monitoring the traffic here at work...) anyway, the one i found in the end is here: http://members.aol.com/vanman2677/tcgal/spook.jpg it's not quite a beret. are you sure you aren't thinking of the aristocats? and i'm sure those of you who want things to be a bit more relevant will be pleased to hear that i'm going home now... andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Tigermilk Register - IVE GOT ONE !!
by Simon Collins 01 Dec '97

01 Dec '97

Ha HA! I have a copy of Tigermilk, it cost me 8 pounds and i spent weeks trying to get the address of the people i had to write to ( thank you Mark Radcliffe ) . Its in the brown cardboard sleeve they sent it to me in. After I got it they also wrote me a couple of letters ( signed by B&S) which was nice. No coffee stains, and i wont know the serial number until i go home and see it again. ( which is in Aberdeen ) I also have all the posters for the 3 singles. Some people think i'm obsessive. Does anyone have a full copy of the Mark Lamarr session they did ? I dhave the songs but only poor copies ( i didnt have a very good recorder in those days.) Er , I hope i havent made too much of an arse of myself. Simon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
