Sinister: More FRENCH POP STARS
by Nikolas Montaldi 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

Hi list Philippe and Kevan were discussing French swingin' sixties stars like Francoise Hardy and France Gall here the other day,I just wanted to say that there also used to be quite a funny male called Michel Polnareff. When he started in around 1964/65 he looked very handsome and unassuming,singing beautiful little songs like "La poupee qui fait non","Ame caline","Le roi de fourmis" etc.,just accompanied by his guitar,some cellos and a squeaky hammond organ.I tracked down some of his orginal vinyl records a few years ago and never stopped listening to them. Unfotunately he later reinvented himself as some sort of androgynous,glam - creature,stalking the stage in his underwear,a pair of massive shades and a horrific haircut(possibly a wig?). Sadly photographs of that kind now grace every of his compilatons and are surely scarring of every half interested kid.It's a shame,he should have left the drag business to people who did it better than him. Well,he may not have the grace and style of our beloved Francoise and France,but his early songs are sweet anyway.Apparently he is still famous in Japan today... I thought I should just mention him,hope I won't get any abuse from all you French people.Bye for now... Stephane,if you happen to read this I hope that you are well,I've send a note to you last week,but since I've had some problems with the computer you might have never received it.I'm on Hotmail now,hope this works.

Sinister: Join our club
by John Johnston 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

I feel very privileged to be in that exclusive gang of Sinister people who felt the need to apologise to Charlotte Hall at Shepherds Bush - (and my initials are JJ so your memory is not deserting you.) All I can say is that she is a beautiful and intelligent women and I was really apologising to myself I guess for talking such complete bollocks when I was introduced that I feared I wasn't comming across as the devil-may-care dangerous and sexy genius that i hope to come across as.Heavens above I was about to talk about Deacon Blue - you'll understand that apologies were in order. I did a comedy turn a couple of weeks ago <plug>and again tonight if you're in Sth London - The Bedford Pub in Balham @ 9pm</plug> and with the proceeds I bought "Songs for Swingin' Lovers" by the late Frank Sinatra. My first thought was that if that album came out today the title would have very different connotations. My second and subesequently only thought that it is such an aural delight that I have scarce heard the like. You can't help but smile and sing along with his wonderful voice and those delicious Nelson Riddle arrangements. It's just too marvellous for words. Glad the Boston gig was fun. xx John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Brier wrote... >Who is Dylan of Dylan in the Movies? Bob? Didn't find it in >the archives (which, no, does not translate to "I am too lazy to check the >archives". Yeah it is Bob Dylan, he was in a film called Don't Look Back. Which reminds me that BBC 2 are showing "Don't Look Back" as part of a double bill with "Kurt & Courtney" soon (although I don't know exactly when).

Sinister: Boston b&s show
by Ellen S. Kim 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

So, as i type this at 3:07 am eastern standard time, i would like to say that i just got home from the boston belle and sebastian show. the gig ended at approx. 11:30. the show was wonderful. having never seen b&s live, i was surprised at the real beauty of stuart murdoch's voice. i originally thought the cd sounded so good because of production or something. anyway,it's not like i live 2-3 hours away from the city either. this usually 15 minute car ride from boston was interrupted several times by the overheating of a car engine, and finally the death of the car. yay, it was also about 40 degrees farenheit. they played a lot of stuff off bwtas(including space boy dream, which i thought was more of something for the studio, but as usual, i am wrong.), iyfs, and 3..6..9..seconds. the show was quite ethereal, to put it mildly. i don't know why i am typing this, since it is so late. but i think that my night will never end, since i now have to write a paper on Plato's Republic. well, good night listees. and those of you going to other american shows, i hope you are very excited. -e +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

continuing the recent but honourable tradition of the list, I apologise to JJ for traducing his hitherto unblemished reputation by confusing him with someone else. Never mind, eh? Changing tack, has anyone picked up references in Stuart Murdoch's songs to his past as a member of Glasgow Uni boxing club?

Sinister: Parka's and tom waits
by Michaela Clarke +44 (131) 343 5810 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

I'm confused now 'cos somebody said > As for ridicule, surely dragging people round the schoolyard by the >loop thing on the top/back of the hood was much more fun. and that's undermined my fundamental belief that the sole purpose of those things was to attach the unfortunate soul to the metal bars on the back on the bus seat, with hilarious results when it got to their stop. I am amazed to find these things were multi purpose, perhaps somebody knows of another use, (primitive adolescent Arab strap perhaps?) As a shared love of Tom Waits seams to be involved in all the greatest of my friendships, I am quite keen for the person who keeps mentioning him to get in touch, I have a plan to have a tom waits fan friend on every continent.

Re: Sinister: o athens, how i love thee
by Brier Random 22 Oct '98

22 Oct '98

I was going to reply exclusively to Sad Tomato, but in case there are any other angry Californians who are jealous about living in the wrong place at the wrong time, here it is: Is your name from REM's "Crush With Eyeliner"? If so, well said! But not so well-said on your defensive missive about B&S not touring the west coast this winter. They're coming in early 99, and they'll be well rested. It's just a matter of them playing the east coast FIRST. It seems like that's why you're so upset. "They're playing in YOUR area first! They like YOU better! Waaaaaahhh!!!" You say SF and LA "don't even rate a stop". No, they don't. They rate an ENTIRE TOUR, to be conducted as early as three months from now. Patience! I actually agreed with the beginning of your post; whoever suggested that Athens was important because of its proximity to Atlanta and because of a few good bands missed the mark. But Athens IS important to a band like Belle & Sebastian, simply because large numbers of people who are fans live there, and will be able to see the band they like. That's why bands tour. (And for money, yes. But playing their mucic to people who like it is an inspiration too.) Feel lucky that you'll ever get to see them at all, and that they even exist. I am thankful every day that B&S are alive & around & soundtracking our lives. Amen. Goodbye. > >so athens is important because it is an hour from atlanta and has a few good >bands and songwriters? sheesh, if that were the measure of importance i >must remember never to associate with los angeles or new york city or anything. >after having been on many lists and having divorced myself from those lists >because of the fear of actually saying anything, i shall have to say >"shame!" i actually DO know where athens is....in greece right? please >dont underestimate my sense of geography....of course athens is in georgia. >and r.e.m. are from there. and i drove through there once before. and >atlanta has lots of kudzu and the braves, and the padres are better than the >braves.
