Before getting down to the pressing matter of my missing willy, may I thank Trousers for another gripping piece of investigative journalism. Apparently I have no willy, but I have a balsawood dildo. I suppose you think that's funny, don't you McRagtag? Well, it isn't. Because it's true. I was seperated from my Man's Best Friend in a bizarre knob-chopping accident in the Canadian Redwoods, just after enjoying a spot of that thing they do where two blokes are on a floating log and they try to get the other one to fall in. I like that, it's a good sport, that is. To make matters worse, my friend Billy has a ten foot willy and he showed to the nextdoor neighbour. She thought it was a snake and hit it with a rake, and now it's only five foot four. No but serously, I have got a willy, albeit an unnaturally enormous great whopper. In fact, I'm writing this with both hands tied behind my back. That's my smut for the day. Sarah, you can find JO DUNNE on page 74 of the "November" edition of "Q" Magazine for Grown-ups. The other three are YOUR MATES in Preston. Tag said: Talking of endurance shagging (which I wasn't, but you lot were), Serge Gainsbourg, when asked if the sounds of carnal pleasure on "Je t'aime...moi non plus" were genuine, replied "Of course not, it's only a single. If it was real, it would be a long player". Yesterday I saw a 3 CD box set of Serge recordings, which was very nice, but it cost a bomb, about fifty quids of your english money, and also "L'Histoire de Melodie Nelson" for about eighteen of your english pounds quid. Seems a little unreasonable to me. Tonight I shall be helping to keep music live by going to see Mark Someone from the Screaming Trees and Mike Someone from Dinosaur Jr. I wish it was Murph, but it isn't. I've never heard any Screaming Trees or Mark Someone, so I don't know what to expect, so I've decided to expect country-tinged grunged up melodic rockers that betray the influence of Gram Parsons and The Lotus Eaters. In fact, I'm thinking of putting money on it. "What is the point," thought Alice, "of a petiton without any signatures on it?" Wouldn't it be better for each person to write a proper letter to the appropriate address? It's a bit more troublesome, but I think it would be more effective. Just a thought.

Sinister: DC Meetup
by Sam Devere 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

Mick has made a plea, so let's get organized. The Philly contingent is making us look bad. Moreover, it will make it easier on the out of town folks. First off, you DC townies speak up...Kim, Meghan, Thaian, Matt, Lara, Chris (notdog on wheels boy), Jessica (delware9aol.com Jessica) and Christa...I'm sure there are more (the other Jessica already said she can't meet up before). I suggest either Pharmacy Bar (in Adams Morgan) or Chi Cha, a few blocks from the Black Cat. The Pharmacy Bar has a cool jukebox, it's got the new B&S, Red House Painters, Joy Division, loads of other good cds. It has murals of ill people on the walls and pills inside the laminated tables. For any hypochondriacs (sp?), it's a must. It's kinda small, and not many people should be there. Only thing is that it's not within walking distance. I've only been to Chi Cha once, but it's a little dark inside, with lots of velour couches. The advantage over Pharmacy is that it is within walking distance of the Black Cat. How does 7:30 sound? Any other suggestions? I don't care where we meet, as long as we do. Please e-mail me or post to the Jeepster site and I'll coordinate. Also, I may not be able to join you at the show because I'm still looking for tix if anyone comes across any...

Sinister: Boston Show
by Stan 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

I was at the Boston show too and thought they were excellent. My only disappointment was the t-shirts all sold out. As part of the 'geek chic' contingent alluded to by Joe, I thought you might all be interested in a cool website a few of us B&S fans have been checking out, sordid, funny tales by some alienated college student in chicago. http://www.talesofwoe.com Stan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Go on, put it in your mouth
by Warrander John - FML 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

Bonjour, French pop, eh? Educational. Anyway, if there's anybody out there in the North of England who doesn't want to go to a really indie club then Smile's on every week and it's not very indie. And if you didn't come last week cos you thought you might be a bit intimidated by the global celebrity on the decks, then this week it's back to the usual losers so why not pop along and feel good about yourself. We promise not to play any Field Mice and in fact we have a special three-pronged attack for anyone who requests that kind of nonsense. Julian punches them, Emma pours petrol over them and I throw the match. Quite affective we find. Petula greeted me thus: >Hello John, we meet at last. Hello to you too, my dear. I hear you're going to cook me a meal? You'd better be good at it. I've got quite high standards you know. Then she forgave me and filled a gap in my pop knowledge: >I'll forgive you for the lingerie comments and >tell you a bit more about those songs. They hail from the (bootleg) Ultra >Chicks series: "Filles in the Garage" and "Lolita Ya-Yas". Not only are they >full of fantastic pop, but if you own actual copies they make you look >really cool as well. Next time you have a party and when the music boys do >the inevitable flip through your records, put them straight in front and >they'll get really jealous. Such a nice, kind girl. Very clean. Anyway, I think having these things on tape is much more beneficial than having the originals. Not only can you impress people with you're fantastic pop selections when they come round to your house. You can seamlessly display what hip and groovy friends you have too. And er, smut? Well I did hold big JB's hand in central Manchester last night. We thought we were being subversive but I think we just looked like a pair of poofters. Why do people apologise for no B&S content? It never bothers me. Au Revoir good people. And bad people too.

Sinister: stuff'n'nonsense
by Lolo Wood 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

Hello Siinister siblings - Re. Rachael's Tom Waits-spotting story: I have not only a Tom Waits-spotting story, albeit a 'friend of a friend' one, but a Close Relation Of A Key Member Of B&S-spotting story (altough the latter is a bit lame when I think about it.) Anyway, Mr Waits: There have been several spottings of Tom Waits around the Kerry area, waay down in the South of Ireland. But the best one has to be the following, which someone told e at the Liss Ard festival earlier this year. A mate of his was in a pub in a tiny village in Kerry, when the unmistakable Mr. Waits came in with one of the locals, and proceeded to have a few pints. After the Guinness had been flowing for a while, Mr. Waits started eyeing the piano and asked the landlady if she'd mind if he played a few tunes. Her response was "Oh, no, the piano belongs to my husband, he's not here and he doesn't like people playing it". he tried to explain to her who he was, and the rest of the patrons, salivating at thet idea of an impromptu accoustic singalonga-Tom, pleaded his case. But she wouldn't budge. The piano styed locked, Mr.Waits had another pint and left. My friend's friend wept into his beer. Much more relevant to the list, but far less interesting is my boyfriend's story about the middle-aged Scottish gentleman who was browsing in the record shop where he works (Borderline Records in Dublin), who asked the owner had he heard of B&S, and did he have any of their records. My boyf's boss, phillistine that he is, said something akin to "oh yeah... them... no, we don't have anything..." Then the gentleman revealed himself to be none other than - gasp! - Stuart Murdoch's dad! My boyfriend, despite being an extremely shy startled-bunny type, managed to pipe up and assert that he was a fan. Mr.Murdoch Snr. seemed to be impressed that someone in Ireland had even heard of B&S. But when I asked my boyfriend what he looked like, expecting tales of a distinguished chiseled manly jaw, sparkling eyes with just a hint of melancholy, etc., all I got was "He looked like somebody's Dad." Oh well. This has been a very long posting, so I'll be off. But before I go: Robin - the best way of cleaning vinyl is just lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth, but you can buy expensive preparations in swanky hifi shops. Byee, Lolo +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: two unreleased B&S songs
by Joachim Rosenquist 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

Hi! Ok, here's an offer for people who has the Tigermilk-record on tape. I'd very much like to have a copy of my own. In exchange I have managed to get over two unreleased B&S-songs called "I know where the summer goes" and "The gate". These songs were included on a tape of their new record wich was sent to musicjournalists. But apparently they didn't make it onto the album. Very strange if you ask me, since the songs are great! Please mail me in person, not the list if you are interested.

Re: Sinister: review of the boston show
by JJPartyka＠aol.com 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

In a message dated 10/23/98 7:30:01 AM, you wrote: <<Still, I do love them even if they suck live. (don't flame me) ... thats it. I'm sure I pissed some people off by coming off too harsh. Like I said, it was great to see them live, it just wasnt a great show. Having been there in Boston as well, I agree that they weren't exactly 100 percent tight, but by no means did they "suck." And, sitting front row left, I'm quite sure Stuart and Isobel were not "arguing" between songs. The only song that really didn't hold together for me was "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying," which sounded like it needed a bit more rehearsal. I thought it was a fine show ... refreshingly free of slickness and boring "professionalism." And they don't exactly play mosh-pit music, so the complaint about not being able to stand up is a real head-scratcher for me.

Sinister: L's and P's poem, and Stuart Murdoch
by Philippe Garnier 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

abi : >ps. poem: >la la la la la la BELLE! >la la la la la one L! >la la la la la la CHEESE! >la la la la la two P's! > >it is dedicated to Philipppppppppppe. see, if everyone could remember that >little rhyme, they'd know how to spell his name. so long as they weren't >pedantic and pointing out that it's got three p's in it if you count the first >one. Oh my god! It's crazy, because I know this Philippe Poem, in french : Philippe la la comme pour Isobel la la la la la il y a un seul L Philippe la la c'est pas compliqué la la la la la il y a 2 P. I often use this little song when I am drunk and enable to spell my wee name. Did you notice that Isobel and me are sharing the same L ?! (I know that Campbell's got one P and 2 L's, but it is an exception to the rule) Did you notice that, at *every* gig, Stuart Murdoch forgets the lyrics of at least one song ? In Strasbourg it was Lazy line, in Paris it was Dirty Dream... But his lalalala's are so lovely! I think Honey Keith could put the list of these songs in the FAQ :) Paul wonders >Did they play TWG in Europe as I've never heard mention of it before. Yeap, The Wrong Girl (La fille fausse, as Stevie translated it) was played at the radio session in Paris at least. This means also that Paris *is* really in Europe (I was told that americans are bad at geography, but I doubt).
