Sinister: Troutfishing in Chorlton Cum Hardy

Who can forget his lyrical insights 'I slip through sand just like water and sand', 'it feels like summer, gosh my skin's so itchy' (that one was about Hiroshima, believe it or not), 'and now I know why I love my wife'. What a poet, what an artist, what a prick. Talking of poets, did anyone read about Jim Morisson being a habitual bed wetter - I haven't laughed so much since the 'Come to Daddy' video.

Sinister: iain banks, espedair street
by Andrew.Dean＠BULL.NET 14 Jan '98

14 Jan '98

um, don't know if anyone knows this but it's a book (andy makes relevant gestures with his hands) about a scottish band and their rise and fall and it was rather good although the musical style was too proggy for my taste. anyway, it's now a radio play (um, andy doesn't know the hand gestures for radio play) in 4 parts and, well, i've missed the first part but the rest of them are on radio 4 on thursday nights. d. weir is played by john gordon sinclair (gregory's girl) (iain himself is as scottish as scottish can be and v. friendly given the twice i've spoken to him) and vocals are by monica queen. there, a B&S link... am just about to start on typing the gig reports in today's papers. i'll start on the nme one and post it when i've done. if anyone wants to do the (better) mm one then feel free... i'll post them here and then put them on the web page along with the pictures that are currently on paul's page. but i'll leave it a week or so so as to not piss the music papers off... andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Herb Alpert!! (sorry, this is yet another reverie for a cheesy popmeister) what a dashing fellow he was (and so well turned out...) I have an album of his with a version of 'talk to the animals' from doctor doolittle on it. Its truly shit in a marvellous way. On the cover there is a photo of herb blowing his horn at a giraffe (ooeer!) who is gazing at his trumpet (double ooerr!). If you look really close, you can just see a currant bun sticking out of the end of his horn. What that man wouldn't do to attract the loving gazes of domesticated animals.....

Sinister: The joy of Swells
by Nick Dastoor/BSHO/GB 14 Jan '98

14 Jan '98

I trust some of you will have joined me in reading Steven Wells' review in WH Smith's yesterday. When I was younger he used to put the fear of God into me but I'm a (bit) less in awe of people like him now. VIntage stuff though - for those who haven't seen it, he somehow contrives to blame the popularity of Belle & Sebastian's rotten, gutless namby-pamby ways on Tony Blair's election victory. Now I'm all for associating New Labour with many undesirable social trends, perhaps including the success of certain bands, but I just don't see how B&S fit into it. Or perhaps I am part of the enemy and can't see the wood for the trees. Anyway, Belle & Sebastian - too stupid for art school but clever enough to get into music college. Makes a catchy slogan, don't you think? The MM review was really very fair, on the other hand. Funny that the good (well, kind anyway) should go to Saturday's shambles while the Sunday matinee should get such a slating. So long, Nick nick_dastoor.bsho(a)notes.compuserve.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Having found out from my homepage that I was into B&S he mentioned that they didn't do much for him but he had called his two new china fishes Belle and Sebastian. Then in what the British tabloids would doubtless dub a "shocking outburst" he went on to say "but I do *appreciate* having someone like Stuart around, if only to counteract the effect of bombastic morons like, say, Richard Ashcroft.

Sinister: Brian Hurst, he saw them first

Then >when "fabulous" were on someone walked up to him and punched him on the >face. It was dead funny. The strange thing is Chris, is that only last week I almost went through to see Annie Christian in Glasgow last week who it turns out were supporting a band called Fabulous too. This got me thinking to the tune that it couldn't have been Simon Dudfield's fabulous, could it... could it... I don't really know. What a bag of shite. Cheers, Keith. [Been toying with the idea of using "Sorry, no Belle and Sebastian content" as my signature, but figured that guys at work might get a bit confused!] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Always find it amazing the amount of pain Thom Yorke looks like he's in when he's singing... I suppose he's exorcising his "inner demons" perhaps. Well I tell you, if I was in as much pain when I was singing a song, I'd just simply not do it! Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
