Something like "Fox in the Snow" might be a good end of > the night smoocher. Especially if it's snowing outside. > You could play it after "Foxy Lady" and "Fox on the Run". > And you could say, "this one's for all you sly old foxes > out there prrrrowling the dance floor looking for some lurve action in the chicken coop...there'll be feathers flying tonight....grrrrrrowwll!" Yes - I was thinking something along these lines, talking about covers, I thought, given My Life Story's recent cover of "Duchess" by the Stranglers and Omar's current cover of their "Golden Brown", I though Belle and Sebastian might join in... perhaps "Bring on the Nubiles" or even... wait I can see it now... "Waiting for the Meninblack"! What an ace idea, just slap a picture of Will Smith on the front and call it a film tie in - make a million bucks! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: Picture Quality

> So come on people, if we're going to have to > read about your private > moments when we've never met you, lets at least > have some nicely composed, > in focus piccies to look at. ah, but you're forgetting that real life isn't nicely composed or in focus a lot of the time... coming back yesterday, overnight flight, saw the sun coming up just as we reached british airspace and we were above the clouds and all and it was spectacular. but i was in an aisle seat about 6 feet from the minute window, over the wing too so i had to jiggle about in my seat in order to see more than a few inches of it at a time. then on the train on the way back there was this girl with the nicest brown eyes but she kept closing them and the train was rattling about like they do and my glasses were smudged so... (sat looking at the bernhard newman paintings in the museum on modern art in new york last thursday, great plains of colour crossed with lines of different colours and the whole thing was so big that my glasses (being as thick as they are) curved all the edges so i never saw it as it was intended to be seen). and i've a nasty feeling that all the photos i took in philadelphia, photos i will never get another chance to take, are victims of the cheap camera i was using - it was making some very strange noises whilst i was widning the film on... d'you see? andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

If so - (I presume it is) Totally Brilliant, I've got "Onement 1" printed above my desk at the moment (let me know if you want the JPEG). I've always wanted to go to the New York galleries, I've got loads of Mark Rothko paintings above my desk - totally brilliant. What is it you do (workwise) Andy by that way?

Sinister: To veer off the subject matter a little (again)
by Keith Watson 16 Sep '97

16 Sep '97

Has anyone heard the new Blur single? (M.O.R.) Does anyone else reckon it's not slightly a little bit totally like "Boys Keep Swinging" by David Bowie? Like, even down to the words. Hello to Paul Laird by the way- sorry for being rubbered at your club again on Saturday. And regarding Indie Clubs - Paul plays B+S regularly at the Egg in Edinburgh and I wouldn't say there's any sort of "clearing of the dancefloor", good laugh. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

She tells me Belle & Sebastian always clears half the dance floor. Or it could be her and her mates dancing like mad to it that does it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

My vote goes to the Tube Bar in Leicester (Saturday nights, 10-2 at the International Club, near St Margarets bus station). They play Belle & Sebastian regularly, and it never clears the dancefloor. In fact, just the opposite. A few weeks back they played 3 B&S tunes back-to-back, and the floor was heaving. Mind you, it's not strictly an "indie" club.......lots of 60's psych, lo-fi stuff and a smattering of easy-listening. No "techno rubbish", mind (although they do play Cornershop, if that counts?). The place is always packed out.....probably about three-quarters non-student, for the socialogically-minded. Nigel xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: B&S & Indie nights
by Paul Forsyth 16 Sep '97

16 Sep '97

Thanks Dr Stride for mentioning the Indie night. I'm thinking about what other types of music Belle & Sebastian can accompany, and sound great with. Personally speaking I don't think they fit well with the majority of Indie bands (or whatever Indie counts as nowadays), especially at a student disco. B&S are a band I listen to, both musically and lyrically. Until I actually get to hear B&S being played whilst I am in a club I don't see how they would fit in. Some of the list, yeah, Smiths, Stereolab, Super Furry Animals, but they all have the same mood. I think I'll play around with me tapes tonight and see what mixes'an'moods work. Anyone else have thoughts? ____________________________________ / \ Paul Forsyth / E: paulf(a)scs.leeds.ac.uk \ Computer Science { W: http://www.scs.leeds.ac.uk/paulf/ } University Of Leeds \ P: +44-113-233-6789 / Leeds LS2 9JT \____________________________________/ United Kingdom ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Well....my disco may take place at Sheff Uni' but the majority of punters are non-students; more the hardcore of Sheffield's indiepop scene, and they are always requesting 'Mayfly' and 'Seeing other people' (or at least they were last year!). And its an opportunity to educate those students currently overdosing on Paul Weller, etc Chris C.B.Stride(a)Sheffield.ac.uk *** daytime: 0114 2223262 *** *** FAX 0114 2727206 *** ** NEW ** evening: 0114 2306539 ** NEW ** "Watford FC Supporters - South Yorkshire branch" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
