Hello sailors. This is another Tigermilk-less soul looking for a tape. Somebody who has it, let me know (email or here). The best I can offer in return is one of my irrelevant-to-B&S mix tapes, but I'm damn proud of them, and my sister says they're the best mix tapes she's ever heard (and she would know). okay bye Ari ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Talking over an instumental track isn't new at all - and I'm sure it goes way before the Arab Straps or Pulp. From my limited music knowledge (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the first song that used this technique was The Velvet Underground's "The Gift" (from the album "White Light/White Heat"). John Cale reads the story on one side of the recording and the band plays on the other. So if you adjust the balance of the stereo, it's possible to listen only to the story, only to the music, or to both of them at the same time. "The Gift" is, in my opinion, the best "narrative song" ever made - from the haunting first verse ("Waldo Jeffers had reached his limit") to its breath-taking end ("through the middle of the package, through the middle of the masking tape, through the card- board, through the cushioning and..."). By the way, how many of you in the list are also Velvet lovers? Andre (a Brazilian B&S and VU lover). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I've never ever heard Arab Strap, so I'm a bit left out here, but I think that is a really fantastic lyric. What's the next line? And what is a "I just don't want to know" lyric? Anyone out there Welsh? I think Hugh "he fisted me in the bogs" is Welsh, isn't he? Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Manic Street Belle and Sebastian?
by Sarah 31 Jan '98

31 Jan '98

Hello! I'm going to take up a long time of your life now because this is something that means a lot to me that I have written. [And i bet in the digest this message is sandwiched between two messages about pamplemousses and zanahorias :o)] Duke wrote...... <<And if you were a 6th former into poetry i think you'd probably relate to what they wrote and sang about... can't comment too much because it's a long time since i was a 6th former writing poetry...>> Ahem. I'm in sixth form. *Coughs*. And I wrote some poetry last week. They made me do it for creative writing and they were pretty good if you ask me. I'm well aware of the pretenious 6th former s/type. Why I found it hard writing the poetry and I was scared of being arsey. manics and B&S stuff.... Keith said they (MSP) were pants....well pants are very essential to life keith. I...they mean so much to me. Not just because of their arsey 6the form lyrics, which by the way is complete and utter shite, because tey believed in the importance of Rock, they talk about people and things that I believe in, made me feel connected into soething for once. I used to think I was cracking up at high school, I seriously did, then I found the Manics and found this whole amazing cultural, lyrical phenomenon. Where the hell else was a band who spoke to *me*, who talked about poetry and poiltics? And also had very good ROCK music??? Its the manics.... <<and the B&s connection? well i think that to a lot of people Stuart's lyrics will seem like wet 6th form whimsy, and they will fail to understand just what it is we are all getting so obsessively devotional about. They will continue to prefer their radiohead and Manics records, and of course that is their choice, and although it is the wrong choice, it's the way of Pop. Long may it continue.>> I love both. I love the Manics. I like Radiohead too, but not as much, in small doses. I also love B&S. I choose all three. What road in Pop am I now traversing I wonder? A bloody strange one methinks. I love Stuarts lyrics. Why I ask myself? becaseu tey are melancholy and sweet. Like a ray of sunshine shining through your window on a cloudy day. The Manic lyrics, well, The Holy Bible is the horrible reality of depression, anorexia, holocaust rolled into one jolly europop bundle, and I think that it a frightening masterpiece of this godamm century. EMG is sad but sweeping. If You're Feeling Sinister, is gentle lovliness, which I adore. But it will never shock, confront. And I don't want B&S to. I'm confused, I never know quite what I feel, but I know what I like, probably to quote someone else there. MSP ..... heck I'm trying to define what has alluded me for years now...... but oh dear I think I'm getting most inarticulate. I will probably spend a few more wasted years of my youth pondering bittersweet nothings about Pop! Manics, B&S AND WHAT THE HELL IT ALL MEANS! I got talking to my French teacher at Open Evening the other day. I had written a quote in French by Sartre on the board as examples of what languages you learna t newman bla bla. We got to talking about Camus. I said that I couldn't afford a copy of the Outsider, and the Library didn't have it. So Stuart goes, Oh, I've got loads, you cn have one! I think yipee! Lucky me now has a copy of L'etranger. Fully in French. Its bloody hard enough to read in English! But I'm getting through it. I neeed a better french dictionary though. au resevoir. :o) I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!! Sarah "......visionary and poet cursed work before trying it, and would only lift a finger to write a book. THE IDLE THOUGHTS OF A DAYDREAMER, Volumes 1 to 10. Ten in ten years. Like Felt records flowing freely from an uncluttered mind....." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Up the Cuff
by Richard Anderson 31 Jan '98

31 Jan '98

Hi, Anybody out there know what the best new band of las5t year, Cuff are up to at the moment? Anything after Yellowmaddacoolivision would be news. Did anyone else watch them on the excellent program helter skelter on Central last year at around 4am? If you haven't heard them, their lyrics are a more pessimistic B&S style and the music like Reef's would be if they had any decent melodies and a brilliant lead singer. "Just Because I'm Sleeping Doesn't Mean I'm Dreaming Of You..." Richard Anderson ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
