Sinister: arise Sir Cliff
by Steve Genge 16 Sep '97

16 Sep '97

This may have come up before, apologies if it has. Just sat here listening to Tigermilk and after once again marvelling at how very wonderful it is something else struck me. The intro to "Mary Jo" where had I heard it before? Then like some scary vietnam flash back it hit me Cliff Richard's "A Winters Tale" Unless it has David Essex & the song wasn't called that at all? Is it just me & my head full of songs of Cliff? Please tell me it isn't so. Whilest I'm here, perfect songs for Belle & Sebastian to cover: Cattle & Cane or Bye Bye Pride by the Go-Betweens Gloria - Hurrah something by The Pale Fountains. -- [--------------------------------------------------------------------] steve genge steve(a)seahorses.demon.co.uk [--------------------------------------------------------------------] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Century of fakers
by Jean-Philippe Madelaine 15 Sep '97

15 Sep '97

Everyone is talking about "Century of fakers" since two or three days. What is it ? I thought the new ep of B&S, which should be available today, was called "3,6,9 seconds of light". Is it the same ? An other one ?? I need your help because it's not easy to purchase these records from France when you don't have the titles of the records.

Sinister: Picture Quality
by Mark Dawson 15 Sep '97

15 Sep '97

Ink Polaroids are surely a way of showing imaginary pictures to people. So, this means that without any skill at all, you can take great pictures of anything in the world. Or even not in this world..."This is one of me standing on Mars with two Martian friends...." So why is everyone sharing pictures that are crap! They're either blurred, too wet, feet only, wrong type of film - don't think I've seen a thumb over the lens yet but I'm sure it's coming! When I take pictures in real life, if any of the above happen, I tend to not put them on display in my photo album but hide them away somewhere. 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.

Re: Sinister: A Century of Fakers
by Paul Forsyth 15 Sep '97

Ta Keith, I've been trying to go to a B&S concert for a while now but I've always managed to miss them in big ways. Since I've began to listen to their songs my first concert-miss was their Kelvingrove date in Glastow some time back - 'Whay, I get to go home to Cumbernauld' I thought, but no I had arranged to south to Cambridge instead :( Then they were playing in Oxford, the night before I had to fly to Boston/New York from Birmingham. So..... I was rather peeved to find they were playing in those cities in September, just when I had spent August there... One day... ____________________________________ / \ 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: blurry pictures/tigermilk taping
by Pam Berry 15 Sep '97

15 Sep '97

hi everyone, have seen (and deleted, oops) a couple of requests for tigermilk tapes and I think they both might have been people living in the u.s., just want to let anyone who needs it know that I'm still up for dubbage on this side of the world, just e-mail me privately at home (plb(a)tiac.net) so far, have mailed about 15 tapes out and among some interesting trades have gotten some stellar recipes and an amazing gun that shoots little plastic discs the length of my house. that thing pointed in the wrong direction, well, you know. also, mark said: >So why is everyone sharing pictures that are crap! They're either >blurred, too wet, feet only, wrong type of film - don't think I've >seen a thumb over the lens yet but I'm sure it's coming! >When I take pictures in real life, if any of the above happen, I tend >to not put them on display in my photo album but hide them away >somewhere. sorry, must beg to differ here. not that I'm organized enough to actually put my photos in an album (one day!), but I've got scads of them in boxes, drawers, laying around in piles, I've been buying old photos from estate sales and flea markets and stealing them from my relatives for years (that's what they get for leaving them around in boxes and drawers!), and the very best ones are the ones that are unfocused, unposed, thumb over the lens, shadow of the person taking it in the picture, etc.etc....you can tell so much about people when they are snapped unprepared/unposed, and my own pictures mean more to me if I remember that it's blurry because I was laughing too hard to keep the camera still or I was really plastered which will forevermore remind me of something someone told me that night under confidence of drunkness, or I took it too soon because someone was about to walk out of the frame, etc. etc. everything's got a story, and I'm less able to remember it/imagine it if there's nothing from a photo suggesting it. photos that I take myself (almost always with a polaroid because I don't ever seem to get around to developing the film otherwise) are documents to aid my crap memory. if someone picks up a pile of polaroids on my coffee table, say, from last weekend in new york when belle and sebastian stopped my heart repeatedly (no pictures of that, I'm afraid), I'd rather have to tell them the story of every photo, have them ask me why keith d'arcy is in the way background of a pierogie restaurant at one a.m. making that motion like he's playing a kuzoo, an entourage of chucklers being subjected to stories from his list of anecdotes (an actual list, I saw it), or whatever, than have them look through the pile and say, oh, people I don't know who are staring at the camera. I take those, too, but I'm not embarrassed to have people see the others. or maybe that's all just a rationalization for my inability to take a good picture but spend so much damn money on polaroid film anyway... cheers, pam pberry(a)washcp.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
