Hello, So have we established that we all like Air now. I suppose I started it, but Jeeez. I've been suffering from disappearing digest syndrome recently, but now I'm back, walking amongst you and I ain't gonna be lonesome no more.

I mean it's true, but ... it was Andreas wasn't it? And it was my secret, I was going to waltz in here, with Robert Forster hair and you'd all be dazzled and would ravish me til dawn.

Susannah has photos. Well, she can make them with her magic photokit thing. And then you'll be sorry for dissing the Pastels. Ha!

Sinister: Beth Orton
by Adrian Evans 20 Jan '98

>Subject: Re: Sinister: Terry Callier >Terry Callier was on a couple of the B-sides of the last Beth Orton >single, Best Bit e.p., WHich >was absolutely gorgeous ( why haven't more people mentioned her on >this list ?) Oh yes oh yes oh yes...Simon I think you'll find at least two more of us here. Beth is indeed a joy to behold, and I have not bought anything yet with which I have been disappointed. However, it has to be said that Terry Callier makes that Best Bit EP with the extra tracks. I had never heard of him before, and as yet have not ventured out to purchase any of his stuff (? I hate that word). But I imagine if you went to see him live, you'd have to get totally reefed up first. Unfortunately few legends ever venture down to sunny Devon so I fear I'll never blessed with the opportunity. -- Adrian.

Re: Sinister: air (no B&S)

I've just been looking for Air's PREMIERS SYMPTOMES in town but can't find anything but Moon Safari. Does anyone know if this previous album is released in this country, or will be, or would I have to order it?? Thanks!

Sinister: That old chestnut of illicit taping.
by Chris D Martin 20 Jan '98

20 Jan '98

Well, basically, just a thought that cropped up in my head. I thought I'd write it down and see if its a pile of pants. Basically, there is no way anyone can get there hands on Tigermilk, and some lovely people have been taping Tigermilk to help spread the word, and I'm sure that most of the adorable people who have received these tapes will buy Tigermilk when it is eventually re-released by popular demand. But in the meantime, how do we thank B&S, for Tigermilk, as we can't through the revenue which they are not getting. Now one way would be to send them some cash, but that's a terrible idea. Another might be to send them a tape with some of your favourite tunes. Sort of like you might give the tape-ee a tape. Another might be to send them lots of chocolate and some cream in a can which you can squirt over things. D'you think this would just alert them even more to the illigal activity or d'you reckon they might appreciate such gestives in the spirit in which they are meant? Hell, perhaps I'll just get out my crayons and send them a pretty picture. lots of love chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Baby Face...you're just a lump of lard.

I can't wait to see Keith with a baby >bottle of Laphroaig. Paul, What is the age limit of these baby pics ? Two reasons : 1. Camera's hadn't been introduced to Devon by 1971. and 2. Up until the age of about two, I was far too f***ing fat two fit on one page of a website. If I can send one of me at about the age of three, then we're talking 1974/5 and some serious Stone Roses / Monkeys haircuts. Love and Lard.

Sinister: Terry Callier (again...)
by Matt Locke 20 Jan '98

20 Jan '98

sorry if this is a little late (like many people who get the digest, I find myself losing the 'thread' occassionally) I put up a post about Terry Callier a few months back and offered to make compilation tapes of some of his classic 60's-70's stuff (BGP have released a cracking early 60's jazz/folk album that first appeared on prestige) There does seem to be a healthy tinge of classic/northern soul to the tastes of you sinisterines... I would still offer to make tapes for those who are thinking of going to the gig (I've seen him play twice and he's bloody marvellous), or those that go to the gig and are desperate to hear some more...) BTW, could (el tel) PM and T hopkins mail me their addresses, as I promised them tapes and have nowhere to send them to... tar-tar matlockxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
