RE: Mullet (was: Sinister: Lip Trumpet/Scott W)

>>What the fuck's a mini mullet? >my boy, if you were to grow your hair long, but keep a short fringe you too would be sporting a mullet. Like Michael Bolton used to have. And rocky out of Boon. And Jon Bon Jovi in his "slippery when wet" days. And most bikers. Do you see? A mini mullet is one that's not yet fully developed. Mmm...... I always thought a mullet was just the opposite - long at the front and on top, but short at the back - the kind of thing that was popular with the new romantics. There was a lot of talk of mullets in the music press a year or two back, when that awful band Tiger were getting press, as apparently they sported mullets. They certainly didn't have the Michael Bolton look. I'm confused >Snaglepuss wrote > If you knew what "snatch" meant in slang you wouldn't believe me. >It means "fanny" doesn't it? Another good word ruined. I know what "felching" is too. And "mayonasing". Ah, but do you know what "pugwash" is? Nigel xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I like Scott Walker. I think "next" is the only song which says gonnorea (sp?) eh? gonnoreha (sp?) you know what I mean. I got a marc almond record for a pound out of lost in music. It's all Jaques Brel tunes and it's all right. He does "next" as well but he doesn't say ghonarea (sp?) he says syphilis. He probably couldn't spell gonnerea (sp?) when he tried to write down the words. He does "if you go away" too, and i prefer his version to Scott's by the way. And he does "my death" which is a super song. And I think Neil Hannon is a splendid little chap. eh, what's this >>>See if your singing "Judy.." to yourself do you apply lip trumpet? Or >>>is this just me? >Sneaky Laird wrote: >>Is that some kind of medication? why i oughta....! Come on you know what lip trumpet is.

by Amanda Bergman 16 Jan '98

16 Jan '98

I came home from my stint at the radio station today to find out that B&S HAD SIGNED WITH MATADOR HERE IN THE STATES! The first thing I could think to do was email the Big Man himself, Gerard Cosloy, co-pres of said record company. Below, for your perusal, is Mr. Cosloy's response and my initial (excited) email.

Sinister: Sarah records
by Essexdog5 16 Jan '98

16 Jan '98

DOH! *everybody* knows that Brighter Now by Razorcuts was on Creation" Well, I was either confusing the Creation compilation (circa '87?) with the Sarah compilation of the same period (can't remember the title, but it had a blue and red cover, I seem to remember), or I was thinking of Sad Kaleidoscope from the Sha-La-La flexi shared with Talulah Gosh. Which no doubt you're now going to tell me was not by Razorcuts, or was not shared with TG, or never existed. Hey, and indeed, ho.

Well that about clears that one up. >ummm, sorry Keith, that's actually Jo, an ex-girlfriend of Stuart's ... which brings me back to a previous question of mine which went unanswered -- Can anybody tell me who the cover stars on IYFS, LLPJ and 3.6.9. are?

Sinister: MTV and a resemblance. . .

Sinister: eughhhh!!!!
by plaird 16 Jan '98

16 Jan '98

>Hmm, as this list is actually aimed at that other band, see in the NME >someone desparately looking for TM. Wonder if he just wanted a tape >or the real thing ... > >-- >Stuart One of the things that put me off buying Tigermilk when Keith told me to go get a copy was the albums' name: A euphemism (Tag - you started it) for SPERM (eughhh). All I could think of was a scene in a US sitcom I'd seen a couple of years ago, in which there was a scene where a couple of 'Jock' types who were about to go 'out on the pull', who referred to themselves as spreading their 'Tiger's Milk' among the female populace. TADAAAAA!!!(fanfare) TIGERMILK. I take it this person in the NME seeks the vinyl variety.

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian on Matador Records!
by Yama Eye 15 Jan '98

15 Jan '98

As a complete lurker on the Sinister list.. only a few of you know me. so I guess this is my first posting.... not a bad one I think... I got this fantabulous information from the Matador Records website at http://www.matador.recs.com it's on the Bulletin Board section.. Incidently Gerard Cosloy is the co-president of Matador. There you are Matt Burgess Subject: Belle & Sebastian From: Gerard Cosloy (gerardc(a)escape.com) Date: 1/15/98 After months of speculation, we're pleased to announce that Matador will be releasing the next Belle & Sebastian album in North America, sometime this spring....no exact dates or titles yet, but we'll let you know. Said album will be relased in the United Kingdom on Jeepster Recordings. This album will be a joint Matador/Capitol release, much like the JSBX, Pavement, P5 and Bettie Serveert albums were... the album will be distributed via EMD, though Matador direct sales will be handling it as well. When we have more details, we will pass them on. We're hopeful that Belle & Sebastian will be returning to the U.S. for selected dates later this year. if you need more information about Belle & Sebastian, their website is not a bad plae to start: http://www.totalweb.co.uk/belleandsebastian/ GC (Gerard Cosloy) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
