My favourite image at the moment is Issac Hayes singing Dirty Dream #2. Maybe the list's resident fictional scouse comedian would care to volunteer? I'd love to be on this album- doing, oh, I could be dreaming, maybe- but I'm not doing it on me own- it'll sound like a sad git in his bedroom- so does anyone in London feel like joining me? I'm thinking of a wall of aural fireworks and wibbling synths here.. and a big f*ucked up rock out ending. it'd be marvellous. Come on, you know you want to... <<If anyone things this idea is shite, just kill me or whatever,>> No! This is a potentially fantastic idea, and miles better than anything we've seen for ages!

Sinister: The Monday Poem!
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

The Monday poem.... God it's exciting typing that! The responsibility of perpetuating a list tradition, will I match the superior quality of my forerunners, will everyone think it's shite, will it float Trousers' melting submarine? Who knows? My pulse is racing. Anyway, the poem. The poet may seem very familiar to some of you, having been a regular guest on Mark Radcliffe's seminal 'graveyard shift' programme. Although punning and lighthearted on the surface, his tales of dogs and cafes are laced with bleak melancholy. The poet is of course the some-time bus conductor and full time Luton Town supporter, Mr John Hegley. No More Bus Company At the age of twenty three, my mother sat me on her knee and she said these words to me she said 'Johnny,' she said 'Johnny Boy.' Now it may not sound like much to you but it did the job I'm telling you and I was gone out of the door to get myself a job down at the depot, down in Bristol, City and Rovers town. There were two machines and two of us working the omnibus, me I was the one behind winding the handle up and bell ringing and on a good day singing as well: 'hello fellow travellers it's good to have you on you're all very beautiful and you can call me Johnny Boy, hold tight, all got tickets? Hold tight, will you move on down.' But I'll never get my job back now not now those Bristol buses have gone OPO That's One Person Operation, gives a good conducting boy no hope-oh. So who's going to help you get off and on? Who's going to hand out the conversation? Who's going to stand in the cubby hole, who is going to say 'hold tight, all got tickets? Hold tight, are you all right? Hold tight, can I help you with that pushchair? Hold tight, can I help you with that buggy eyed baby? Hold on very tightly.' I was going to treat you all to Ian Mcmillan's 'Ted Hughes is Elvis Presley!' instead but I couldn't be bothered to type it out; it's 4 pages odd. So you'll just have to imagine it what it sounds like, using the title as a starting point. I'm sure you can all do as well as Mr McMillan. But be sure to remember a few 'Ekkie Thump's to establish your regional credentials. And throw in some Ivor Cutler style weird northern surrealism for good measure. By way of apology, I'll leave you with another (very) short Hegley poem about public transport: The Network Southeast Beast Benevolent, not malevolent; after its feast of commuters they are released. Thanks for letting me butt in. Joss is next, aren't you? I look forward to something more highbrow than my offering. Which won't be particularly hard. :-) Belle and Sebastian session tonight.......yaay! bye seb +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: hello to STEPHANE,AURORE from paris
by nikolas montaldi 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

hi there, this is just a little note to stephane,aurore,miles from paris and sarah and all those other lovely people from glasgow,i met at the leeds concert.i've eventually managed to get on to the net and had a look at all the wonderful stuff there is on B&S.the day and evening in leeds a month ago,have really been very special for me since i arrived there on my own,slightly depressed,without a ticket and then met all these nice people,got a ticket from stephane and was given the chance to attend the amazing concert(i used to love morrissey for many years,but his concerts,although very emotional and physically exhaustive were never of such beauty abd quality).for a bookish recluse like me it was quite a change,meeting people,being interviewd,seeing stuart murdoch etc.etc.It's a shame the melody maker didn't use those photos and remarks of us in the end(however i was quite taken aback by it all and lost for words at that moment,so i guess it was for the best they didn't include my stammering).i tried to contact stephane and aurore through e mail,but somehow delievery failed.anyway, i hope you have a brilliant time at the paris concert and drop me line if you like.

Sinister: Nick Drake
by Paul Field 05 Oct '98

05 Oct '98

Richard Connell wrote: Can anyone tell me about Nick Drake, specifically when and how he died. I know he died young and am quite sure it was suicide but don't know how (not really important) or why (if anyone has any idea). Nick Drake died from an overdose of prescribed anti-depressants. Nobody really knows whether or not it was an accident or suicide. By all accounts his condition was improving at the time of his death, and he was starting to record new music (as can be found on the posthumous release 'Time of no reply'). I recently read a biography of Nick Drake, which was well written & gave a relatively unbiased account of his life and work, but unfortunately Nicks family weren't keen on the idea, and so the book lacks their insights and also the author was not allowed to print any of the great mans lyrics. I can't remember the name of the author of the top of my head, but if you're interested I shall find out this evening. To Becky: I checked out your web site, and it's pretty cool. There's also a photo of you on it, and if you ask me the mystery bloke would be mad not to be interested. I also noticed your quote from 'Which Will' by Nick Drake - that p*!$es me off! I plagiarised those lyrics (but I didn't try to claim them as my own) to write in my girlfriends valentines card earlier this year. The result: I was dumped shortly afterwards! Romance is the way to a girls heart...pah!
