Re[2]: Sinister: Arab Strap / some questions for the faq
by Andrew Dean 29 Aug '97

29 Aug '97

um, this sounds like a question for the faq... (dave!) me: >>two of b&s played on the arab strap peel session kate: >ooh...have B&S done stuff with any other bands do you know??? well, chris plays with v-twin (doesn't he?) and the trumpetter had another band until recently. and then there's polar bear which i've been meaning to ask someone about. a friend has the polar bear single and says there's some b&s involvement there (and it's on electric honey records) but i haven't been able to find a copy and i know nothing... other questions for the faq whilst i'm here (i posted these a couple of days ago. unfortunately i posted them to the wrong place. not the first time (he says, looking at the TO: field and realising that paul's gonna have to forward this message as well!) and it won't be the last) - the names of everyone in the publicity shots and cover shots. - addresses / descriptions of all the place names that crop up like cava, the (misspelt) grovener cafe, easterhouse - unreleased songs including things only played live like 'reel around the fountain' and that associates song that gets mentioned in 'ink polaroids' - lists of alternative phrases that stuart's instead of 'c&a' (or is it debenhams where the tables are moved?) whilst playing live ('prince's street' in edinburgh, 'oxford street' in london). yeah, ok, it's a short list... 8) er, that's all... (except to throw in a few more brackets (just for the sake of it)) andy who'd like to remind duke (who's just about to come into some demos by the sound of it) of the couple of tapes i've sent him in the recent past... 8) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

<< ooh...have B&S done stuff with any other bands do you know??? >> Hmmm ... Stuart Murdoch supported the Pastels ages ago ... he joined the then unsigned DIGGER$ (... nowadays on Creation ... recommended) for a very short time ... and he planned projects with Douglas BMX Bandit, but this never happened ...

Sinister: Compo! Compo!
by David & Katrina 29 Aug '97

29 Aug '97

yeah, the suggestion is a good one. anyone who writes the best Ink Polaroid in Stuart David's style wins 3 posters (one for sinister, one for dog on wheels and one for lazy line)and a t-shirt (size and colour of choice). The rules: 1/ Only one entry per person, no cheating I'm going to keep 'em all plus they'll be in the archive for me to check. 2/ Not B&S related! (sorry Paul but I was speaking to Stuart Murdoch about this and he said he wanted it like this so he can enjoy reading them too.) 3/ Not too long. The list I've no doubt is putting a strain on people's inbox and slow modems. So please keep it shortish. 4/ The subject line in the e-mail has to be "Compo" for it to be valid, this way people who don't want to read them can delete them at leisure and it's easier for me to sort through them. Compo will close on October 1st 1997. So all entries in by then. The judges will be myself and if they want to: Paul Mitchell, Duke of Haringey, Andy Dean and maybe Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David. love David Kitchen -- ************************************************************** http://freespace.virgin.net/d.kitchen/Bluesoda.htm mailto:d.kitchen@virgin.net ************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: an ink polaroid
by Landmine9＠aol.com 29 Aug '97

29 Aug '97

It's late and i can't sleep, so what the heck... michael ------------- I took this one when I was in France. The girl hanging out of the window is Vanessa. Joanne wanted me to show her which dorm window was hers, and as I was pointing, she popped her head out. "Allo, Joanne!" she said. Well, needless to say, I fell instantly in love with her. She invited us all out for dancing that night, and as we stood around planning how to get into the dorm past curfew, she just leaned out, smiling on us. The hand popping up into the bottom of the picture is Jenn's. She was waving her hands over her head saying there was no way she was going to climb up a sheet into the second story window. Not that I blame her. She always was kind of awkward. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Re: Sinister: Tigermilk / Verve etc.
by AEHering＠aol.com 28 Aug '97

28 Aug '97

As far as I'm aware, the next single contains at least A Century of Fakers, Le Pastie de la Bourgeousie and Beautiful (interesting to note that ALL these songs were written at least as far back as when Tigermilk came out). Earlier ... Le Pastie De La Bourgeousie was probably the first classic Stuart Murdoch ever wrote as well as being the title of his very first demo tape ... dunno what will happen to this wonderful tune in the studio, but it was breathtaking when first heard accoustically in '94 ... prepare yourself for a classic ...
