It only took me about 3 mins cause we have an ISDN or some shit. I'll try it when I get home, cause I'm still using win3.1 at work. Any chance of a 16-bit version, chris?

Sinister: Leeds Leeds Leeds

>Hiya Sinistereans > >Anyone going down to see ChaChaCohen at Park Royal Hotel in LEEDS on the >23rd JAN. Tunic will be supporting them. Any idea where is the location >of this hotel and where can I purchase the tickets? > >HAs anyone heard of Tunic before? What style of music do they play? > >Hmm.... wonder whether David Gedge will be popping in? I've got a couple of friends in Tunic, as they used to go to Edinburgh Uni (at least two of them anyway). Strange you should say that, but David Gedge loves them, so he may be there. I'm not particularly convinved though, they're really contrived - apart from a couple of songs Tanya's written (Also Ran, and Get in Lane), that's not to say that you won't like them, just that they're not really my cup of tea really... And believe it or not, it was them I went with the first time I saw Belle and Sebastian, so... PRAISE THE LORD! There's a CONNECTION! Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Double or Drop
by Keith Watson 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

>Would someone be kind enough to describe Future Pilot? They >seem to be so widely disliked that I'm quite curious now. > >Peter I actually thought they were OK, at the start it was ambient sounding, in a kind of a way like stuff from Eno's "Music for Films". They suddenly become dead beaty though (at exactly the point Chris tells me that the last time he's seen them they were "more beaty"), and the comparisons I could think of were still Eno, and even Roxy, kind of just cause there was a saxaphone going off all the time. These were as close a comparison as I could come to, but I certainly didn't think they were shit. Also... I lived in Falkirk for years, and I'm not very hard, indeed I wouldn't say it's a particularly "hard" place, strange the reputation places get!

Sinister: Air'heads
by Paul Forsyth 19 Jan '98

19 Jan '98

Hiya, I'm a bit puzzled about Air as on Saturday I finally realised the song I liked on the radio was from Air: 2+2 = *click*. So I went along to Polar Bear in Leeds and bought the album, so I guess it must have been out last week, in the UK at least. And what an album it is. Utterly gorgeous. Buy it! My album of the year so far. Until the next B&S I'm sure!

So sorry,I replied to this post..but then it got lost...and ummmm,but it's back again! >PS Genevieve - what's all this about a secret Longpigs track - where, >how and why did no-one tell me? And more importantly, what's all this >about Stuart evans getting married without me? (Sound of sobbing in >background) Can this heart-stopping news really be true? Are they all >married ? Well,I think it's secret....it's not listed as a track....but if you leave The Sun Is Often Out (little cutie fact here: Simon Stafford picked that title!) a song that is at very veyr low volume will come on...and it's kinda like a lovely lullaby with Crispin Hunt singing and watching you as you sleep singing 'but one of these days,you're sure to be gone..so I'll have to carry on without you' Ohh! *sniff sniff* lil' baby doll! Anyways...it's good enough to be put on the album as a real track...but Crispin said he liekd the idead oh somone fallng asleep to this....1...2...3 (all together..DEEP siiiigh) I don't think Stuart Evans is married...oh dear,I hope not...but *cough cough* SOMEONE else is..... >I love JACK too. >"Pioneer Soundtrack" is a magnificent album and I would recommend it to >everyone on this list. JACK made my year in 96, just like BELLE & SEBASTIAN >did in 1997. >Both bands release a new album in 1998 and I can't wait to hear them ! >(JACK's one will be called "The Jazz Age", I think...) >Elle est pas belle la vie ?!??? >1998 is gonna be MAGNIFIQUE ! > >Anne (Creme Anglaise fanzine) this is so strange....Anne I want to thank you...it was by ordering your first issue of Creme Anglaise zine that I saw Jack (who I never saw before!) and went out and bought Pioneer Soundtracks..a similar thing happened with my friend Layla..she got the issue with Linoleum on the cover,then decided to get the album as well....hmmmmm! meow! xoxo Genevieve... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Exciting eggs - you really don't want to know what that suggests to me. >Will this mention do?: Sin with Sebastian (an underrated hit in its own right) Did they do that 'don't have sex with your ex' thing? I like records with good advice. Not as good as 'Lick it' by 20 Fingers (featuring Gillette). They of 'Short Dick Man' fame ... 'You gotta lick it/Before you kick it'.

Peter Miller I imagine to look like Peter Stringfellow, with a tan that quite clearly came from a bottle, and more neckware than Mr. T over a shagpile chest wig. Northy I imagine looks like some sort of Greek God or something. And Genevieve, lovely lovely Genevieve, I imagine making me crepes in our little Swedish log cabin and looking like Francoise Hardy, while I pickle herrings for us tea. Oooops.

Sinister: Terry Callier
by Gordon A Rogers 18 Jan '98

18 Jan '98

Do I remember someone discussing Terry Callier a while back ? - He's Playing in Aberdeen (wow a musician in this shit hole). So does anyone have any info for me ? > Its like a mullet only kind of indie-fied at the front (sort of > floppy) and al a bit more scruffy and greasy lookin' at the back... > I know this sounds like just someone with long hair but its honestly > not... Its not really lond at the sides.... > Anyone else noted this or other mulletations.....? Surely this is what Old Man Weller and his bunch of sad cronies are all wearing. On another note picked up a Phil Spector compilation in Oxfam for 50p (it was still wrapped in a plastic cover) what sort of fool gives these things away ? I figured it was someone who was dead. Anyway I actually enjoyed the Righteous Brothers tunes on this record which has sent me in to trauma (I thought they were the reserve of rugby boys and hockey girls or vice versa). - Gordon (Avoiding making my computer evolve). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

R: Sinister: Isabelle Allende

Tag wrote: >>>has anyone read any Isabelle Allende? as she's due to release a book about >>>the indistinguishable line between the eroticism of good food and sexuality, >>>and i'd quite like to know what her past books are like and am too lazy to >>>read. She's a chilean writer, forced to live in California after the 1973 golpe. I remember "The House of the spirits" as a very good novel, a family saga reflecting Chilean history and with some points reminding me of Garcia Marquez. BTW, Salvador Allende was the president of Chile, democratically elected and killed during the Pinochet's golpe, obviously supported by the USA. Allende was a socialist and that was enough. Thousands of people were imprisoned, tortured and killed, other forced to exile. I know, thanks to a British friend, that the first page of the "Daily Telegraph" had banner headlines praising gen.Pinochet for his job. We'd better go back to our BandS.
