Sinister: Mouse of Love? Guy is a poor name!
by Snagglepuss 17 Jan '98

17 Jan '98

Just to enter in on a debate I know nothing about! I heard this song on the radio today (beatles and stones) and it sounded OK. I have also heard one Guy Chadwick song on the radio and it was really good - very melodic. Northy (Cerys Matthews is a God) ``Don't be afraid to take a big step.

Sinister: Beginning to see the light - I´m set free
by klas.ericsson＠student.jmg.gu.se 17 Jan '98

17 Jan '98

I say, My schooldays are over... Yes I´ve made my exams and are finally leaving university. Which is great. The not so great part (?;-)) is that my email acount is no longer. Therefore, good bye! I really enjoyed the sinisterlist, you guys have brightened up my days, especially during the last fifteen weeks of permanent hell before the exam. So before I´m off: # Keith, could you send Athoels address to: klas.ericsson(a)usa.net? Thanks! #A mullet is called hockey-hairdo in swedish, if anyone´s interested. #And, um, sorry for picking on Northy. Who I think should give Joy Division a second chance. # And great thanks to David & Katrina, and Paul! And to the rest of you... Bye, Klas ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Los Pasteles con Stereonovak : WARNING!!
by Yaz 17 Jan '98

17 Jan '98

Dear Kelly (& everyone else going to see the Pastels) This is a warning to all those who will be in the Garage/ Highbury&Islington vicinity at nineteen hundred hours tonight: WARNING: A badly dressed irish male (otherwise known as Mr. Sean-I'm-piss'funny-really-Hughes) will be seen in the bar area tonight trying to look cool. Also in the bar area tonight will be Lawrence, the head of Domino, who according to Mr. Hughes, can easily be spotted by the fact that he resembles "a staid Julian Clary". Erm, B&S content... Weell, Steve from the Pastels who was being interviewed on GLR by Sean said that the band (and I know most of you probably already know this, but i'm desperate for a link) was good friends with other Glaswegian bands, such as Teenage Fanclub and, get this, Belle and Sebastian. But Arab Strap weren't apparently such good friends becoz they were from Falkirk, and therfore much harder - (which is weird coz i thought Arab Strap s'portd B&S on their last tour) Anyway everyone, beware... LOve (Longpigs styleee) yAz. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Re: Sinister: Evaluation scale of lyrics (was: Guy Chadwick)

The House Of Love never passed the first threshold ... but sometimes artists like, for example, The Legend! compensate the weakness at the first threshold by writing excellent lyrics ... talking about B&S content. §;^D Seriously speaking, please respect the purpose of this list and stop talking about Gay Chagrin ...

Sinister: International Velvet (ooohhhh.....new Catatonia album soon!!!)
by Snagglepuss 17 Jan '98

17 Jan '98

York University? I am visiting soon to see if I like it better than Bangor (I doubt it) I am doing shitty A level mocks at the moment. BTW. There is a huge B&S fan at York (might be you for all I know) who has a copy of Tigermilk and once turned down £150 for it!! At the moment I would be prepared to pay £200 and nothing more. > So, no offence meant None taken but purleasee! > Northy. Well, manchester accent, kind of northern uproar. Big Hair. A nice thought but unfortunately not! I am 2 back and sides Surrey, material. Though certain amounts of Feltham and Stanwell have drifted into my broad Ashford accent. Big Hair......ha ha ha My favourite songs of all time (in no particular order as I can't decide) Catatonia: Some Half Baked Ideal Called Wonderful Radiohead: Paranoid Android Belle and Sebastian: Dog on Wheels TIP: Before going to a concert DO NOT listen to the band's records. Leave a couple of weeks where you don't listen at all. I did this with the Lightning Seeds (surprise ticket - hadn't listened to them for months) and was blown away. Maybe they are just the best live band I have ever seen but those songs were injected with some good shit and were made alive again for me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Where did their boat go? Mainstream.......
by Snagglepuss 17 Jan '98

17 Jan '98

I am feeling very mainstream Can anyone make me a tape of these cool underground(ish) bands that they keep talking about. Now if you are like me and can only make a tape if it is for someone else. Evidence - thousands of half made tapes around my room (too young for a house!) which were made for myself. I mean I have never heard any stuff by: Nick Cave Northern Soul Pastels Holiday House of Love (well one song!) Delgadoes the Goats and stuff anyone want to educate me? in return I can offer a Radiohead or Catatonia conversion kit. as you all think I am a miserable Radiohead loving gimboid I reccommend the Cataonia kit. Anyone going to see them at the Camden Electric Balroom in February? What tube station is that? Camden Town I presume but you can never be too sure. np: Headswim - Tourniquet. bye Northy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

R: Sinister: Guy Chadwick/Scott Walker
by Giuseppe Gregorini 17 Jan '98

My first reaction at the publication of "Shine on" was enthusiastic (remember that non english-speaking people tend to put the lyrics at the bottom of their evaluation standards), but the first LP and the singles'compilation left an impression of vague dissatisfaction in me. >*** bickers was a genius: did anyone hear any of the levitation >records?*** I didn't like their cd, but every time I listen to The Cradle's "Second nature" on the Volume 16 compilation I'm puzzled by the way it always strikes me. BTW, can anyone tell me what happened to Volume? Bye Giuseppe ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Belle and sebastian on the radio
by Giuseppe Gregorini 17 Jan '98

17 Jan '98

Just to let you know that this morning, for the first time, I've listened to a BandS song on an italian radio. It was "Mayfly" and it has turned my day (although rainy) on. Is this the beginning of the BandS globalization? I imagine them making commercials for some cola (perhaps Karamaltz or Chinotto), hugging some Royal or presenting their movie. Any idea for the title? Bye Giuseppe
