Sinister: Air/IYFS Vinyl/Sessions W. 54th Set List?
by Jarrett Frankel 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

Hello all: For more info on the band who have made the album to top in 1998, http://www.caroline.com have a wonderful Air site, complete with a discography. Go there, you can even listen to the entire album(Moon Safari) as well as selected early singles. Dig those groovy graphics, too! I also must sing the praises of the _Premieres Symptomes_ EP! An amazing little piece of plastic! I stumbled across a promo of it at work back in November (basically took it because of the artwork, I hadn't heard of them before["i only buy a book for the way it looks"]) and subsequently fell under its super-hypnotic spell. One of those records that possesses its own unique feeling, a record that makes you actually *feel* something, something no other record makes you feel. I played it in my car quite literally everyday for two weeks on my drive to and from work(one way=almost exactly the length of the EP). Quite beautiful, especially those last two tracks. Seek it out. Does there really exist a 40 minute version of Casanova 70?!? Anyone with info on how to get this in the States, please e-mail me privately. Also, anyone who might be as obsessed with this band as I am might want to check out the Source Lab series of CD compilations, particularly Vol. 3, which has an unreleased song called "Cosmic Bird", a beautiful collaboration with Jean Jacques Perrey(who they also collaborated with on Moon Safari's stunning "Remember"). Volumes 1 & 2 contain songs found later on the PS EP. And if you're really a nutter you might want to pick up the Ettiene de Crecy disc, "Super Discount", which contains one Air tune remixed by EDC. *On the B&S front, any DC area listers interested in owning a vinyl version of IYFS should get in touch with Vinyl Ink in Silver Spring, MD. I bought one of the two copies they had in stock yesterday. It's gorgeous. Hurry. Bring $19 and enough change for tax. One last thing: does anyone have a setlist for B&S's Sessions performance? Yes, I was in attendance for this, but as they played almost exclusively either new songs or songs off of Tigermilk(which I had not heard at that point), I'm a bit miffed as to what it was I witnessed. I do recall Mayfly cuz Stuart forgot the words, and also Judy... And if my retrroactive memory serves me right, I think they did Slow Graffitti(which he called Pendulum or something, maybe??!?). As you can tell, I'm a tad confused. Anyone who can clear it up with a setlist , I would be most appreciated! rendered, rainforested & rolexed: jarrett frankel jfrankel(a)intr.net ************************************************************** album of the week: 1/19/98 ~Air- Moon Safari ************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Flibble Wibble Flibble Wibble Flibble Wibble Boo!
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

digests this afternoon, and now my brain has started leaking out my ears. I want sympathy! NOW! How do you people manage to get anything done? I have visions (not frequently, thank goodness) of all you pallid students and secret office misfits crouched over your computers in the early hours typing feverishly. Not a nice thought. I, however, have a REALLY full-time Foundation Course to occupy my time 5 days a week (and then some). Shame on you! Write an essay or audit your accounts or something while I'm slaving over a hot paintbrush. Show that you care. Or not, as the case may be... LIZ'S BOOK OF THE MONTH is: Microserfs by Douglas Coupland (or, indeed, ANY book by Douglas Coupland, although Polaroids From The Dead is rather too Gerry Garcia-obsessed for my liking). Try to ignore all that overblown shite about Generation X, and read some of his wonderfully unsentimental, involving, genuinely moving and very VERY funny prose. Woohoo! Phew! Thank the Lord (ie. HoneyGrumps. Hey, no need to be grumpy - we all love you and would still be glad to give you babies) for the end to Multiple Mailing Syndrome. That piece on Northern Soul was starting to really annoy me, and if it'd continued I would have excercised my secret magic word to cast a hex on the server, thus blightling the life of all listees. Lucky it stopped, eh? Oh, and can I have permission to talk about household pets too, sir? The Espedair Street thing on Radio 4 is quite good, although not nearly as good as the Crow Road thing on BBC 2. There isnae any background noise or anything, and the characterisation of Rick Tumber is just pathetic. Apple'n'pears, plates of meat, any old cliches? I dunno, the radio doesn't seem to really do much for the dramatic arts. I mean, just look at The Archers. What a big pile of poo that is. I shall outline what I attribute this to in my revolutionary new theory: You Can't Do Porn On The Radio. Let me explain: as TV has become more liberal in what it is possible to show, the radio has lost out on innovative production because you can't get the full prurient doses of tits'n'bums on the radio. You can get the comedy twangy soundtracks all right, but these just aren't the same, darlings. Creative media types go straight to TV because they want to show nekkid bodies (for artistic purposes only, of course). I realise this is appallingly generalistic, so don't flame me or anything if you happen to be a pure and virtuous TV producer (yeah, right). Ho hum. STOP GOING ON ABOUT HOUSE OF LOVE! I KNOW NOTHING OF THEM! I DON'T CARE EITHER! AARGH! Sorry about that, I just have ignorance-overload at the moment. Tata. Arrivederci, Liz (edaplynr3n00297(a)kiadroch.kiad.ac.uk) ******************************************* The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep.

I fear I might be that fan in york (although I'd love to hear that there is someone else in York that owns a copy of tigermilk...) Me & my Girlfriend have a vinyl copy each (I apologise for repeating this fact, as I know it can be a sore point being so smug...) and all the 12" and 7" since then, but no copies of any radio sessions. Anyone out there like to do a tape swap? (although I imagine everyone that copies radio programmes is enough of a fan to have a copy of tigermilk already...) I know there are other B&S fans in York, but only 'cos I've seen their names on the list (I've only been in York a year, after living in glasgow and Brighton), but Northy, if you're in town, I work as Production Manager in a photography gallery called Impressions. It has an ace bookshop, cafe and internet bit, so pop in and ask for matt locke (I'm in all week, and very occassionally at weekends, although I try not to be...) BTW, I've just got a new job, as Artistic Director of a new Digital Gallery and Production Facility opening in Huddersfield (i only heard on Saturday, so I'm preeetty stoked !) so I'll be moving, probably to leeds, in summer (and therefore to a new e-mail address). So if you're coming northy, make it soon!!!

Sinister: nish B&S
by Cairns 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

One of you lot, can't remember who, has gone and rendered my day useless. How am i supposed to do my Ulster essay when I'm walking round the library singing "Shut up, and sleep with me, shut up, uh-huh, and sleep with me", ad infinitum? It makes me pine for Simon Price. Hello to Tag, who does indeed look like X from kenickie, but, luckily, doesn't talk like Franny Lee. Did y'all know that the real Cracker off brookie actually belongs to Mo who works in the chippy? The reason they killed it off was that it kept puking in the Green Room, so they thought they'd give it a dignified exit, rather than have it suddenly disappear/run away to Perth a la Bouncer/Scott and Charlene. I wonder, did Katrina head North to escape the constant influx of soap characters coming to live in her town? Will any of this make sense to international listees/ people who have lives outside of tee-vee? Why have you read to the bottom of this mail? Lord knows, Smilin' Joe Fission ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
