Hola gente! Me gustaria saber si hay algun castellano/catalanohablante apuntado a esta lista de correos, mas que nada para corroborrar que el directo de B&S en el BAM de Barcelona estuvo de puta madre y ya de paso, suplicar que alguien me grabe los EPs y el Tigermilk ya que no los encuentro por ningun lado. Muchisimas gracias, nos vemos en el Biarritz! Alberto Perez, AIDA, UPC ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Listee Chris will oblige, perhaps you could introduce him to some of them, he quite fancies a shag. Oh shit, that joke's just gone down the pan as I've read the rest of your mail now... arse. - have to make something up about "being surrounded by birds". You'll have to revoke carte blanche now Paul. In all seriousness though, you could name them after numbers, that'd be the easiest, I once met a guy who had two dogs, one called Rudie and the other called Hess. Indeed my flatmate used to have a cat called Mescherscmitt 109 (stop me if you think you've heard this one before), which he took to the vet and on filling in the form, put me109 down for the pet name (the usual abbreviation) and the vet comes out and goes, "Can I see melog please?"

Sinister: Cormorants
by paradiso 22 Jan '98

22 Jan '98

Bonjour, Mon braves.. I've recently befriended several Cormorants (i'm the only fellow who feeds them on this confounded Isle of Dogs...) and i wonder, could any of you suggest suitable names for them? (Anyone suggesting 'Belle' and 'Sebastian' will receive one of those smiley face bracket and colon things in the shape of a punch, and any earnest boys suggesting 'Isobel' really ought to consider getting a girlfriend and selling their Field Mice collection...) I could continue with Hey! Cormorant (it's rather risky bellowing Hey! Mr.Shag in the East End) but it does seem rather impersonal.... salut (damn keyboard won't do accents) Juan de Paradiso ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Indie clubs. No B&S
by Claire Timmins 22 Jan '98

22 Jan '98

Ah the good old indie clubs of Edinburgh. Does FBI still exist? I spent many a wondrous teenage weekend dancing along to the delights of Wheres me jumper etc. Another query, How about the status of Evol, now there was a good Indie club, I don't think I've ever found anything quite like it. Actually I'll compliment one of our listees by saying that the egg is porbably the best I've been to since. I think I'm actually getting nostagic about being sixteen, no that was when I used to go to Katch, the less said about that the better. Oh I'll put a bit of B&S content in here. Isn't La pastie... a great tune? Ciao, Claire. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: graff, not steffi.
by Claire Timmins 22 Jan '98

22 Jan '98

I'm sure there was also some other anti-gyres stuff. Like The Gyres must die...their hair. Never saw their tee-shirts but was never too fussed. Bye bye, bye bye. Claire, ever so slightly bored as can probably be seen by amount of mails sent to the list today... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Re: Sinister: Matador Press Release

>Does anyone know if the band actually still like the Tigermilk LP? Listening >to how their songwriting and recordings have progressed over the last two >years, it wouldn't surprise me if they thought that they'd moved on, and that >putting newer stuff out was more important than a reissue. Chris and Mick still rate it as the best thing they've done, as I would too really, so it's a bit of an arse that the right honourable Mr.Murdoch continues to deny people listening to it... hmm who knows having said that, tricky question, he did write it, suppose it is up to him. I'd guess that it's basically down to the ridiculous interest in the band that having an unavailable LP produces. The new stuff sounds better than If you're feeling sinister mind you. Something odd struck me regarding B+S the other day, in that when If you're feeling sinister came out, it was like one of the best bands in ages had released 2 LP's in 6 months which was amazing, however since then, hardly a new song in sight, what are they playing at! Cheers, Keith. Just ranting really, sorry, hungover again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
