Sinister: smut with your clothes on
by Dom 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

> > Someone, probably someone called Jessica, suggested getting down to some > low down dirty sweaty squelchy stuff to a soundtrack of B&S No, it was Cynthia, I remember, and I think the point she made (and how) was that B&S is the soundtrack to innocent fumbles, before things get all sticky and sweaty. Or maybe in the morning to wake up to and cuddle to, afterwards...sorry, must stop this unhealthy topic line. Then again, the title of TWATTYBUS tends to imply the band had more in mind... I started writing this post an hour ago, then someone 'phoned and I totally forgot about it whilst I swore at my computer (impossible programming thingy for uni to do), so much so that I don't know what to say anymore (sigh) Guess it's time to go Dom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: ink polaroid holiday postcard
by andrew dean 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

here's me and 399 other people sat in the plane at heathrow terminal 21. it's just taken us 2 hours to go from heathrow terminal 6 to here after an aborted take off, something about the number three engine not wanting to accelerate. we all look a bit tired and not a little scared. we all know it's going to be a long day. hell, it already HAS been a long day and the thought of another 4 hours in heathrow before the 11 hour flight is more than a lot of people can bear. non-smoking flight too. that'll teach them. and here's me 27 hours and 169 pages of 'Girlfriend In A Coma' after i left home finally arriving at my destination and by all accounts i should be asleep but that can wait just a bit longer cos i haven't had THESE arms (or, indeed any other arms) around me for four months now. sleep can wait... the inside of an internet cafe on melrose in CA, just minutes from where i'm staying, serruptitiously downloading IRC software on one of the PCs here. um, this US keyboards a bit alien to me and the connection's not as fast as i'm used to but it'll do. um, floods in the uk, 70' and sunny here. thems the breaks. anyway, my hour's nearly up. hope evrybody else's flights (rory & linda's for instance) were less eventful than my own (pam, you'd've hated it). sigh, i'm on the wrong coast a week early for the gigs but, somehow, i think i have the better of the deal 8) see you andy 3 hours...

Sinister: Out in the fields plus more
by JJ 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Hi! Just saw an advert for the Best of Gary Moore and I have to admit I very slightly air-guitarred to Parisian Walkways. But who wouldn't. Or couldn't. Julie Christie...DID Stephen 'Duff Duff' Tinny really do a song called that? I know a band from Clevedon (nr Bristol) called the Driscolls did a song around 1989/1990 called Julie Christie.. the chorus being something like "and then you go and pull that Julie Christie face" or some indie twaddle like that. Nice tune though. Jake/Kenny was musing about football shirts. I've got four, two home and two away, I wonder what he meant? Geri ex-spice. Apparently she is going to be teaching the kids of 3rd world countries about contraception. Is this a wise idea? She didn't seem to do much good with her old pop group. THEN CHARLOTTE HALL WROTE: "I have no recollection of being compared to a cat by Tag, didn't notice being bawled at by Rod, didn't feel insulted by JJ,and don't recall being asked my age by Stuart." Now hang on - I know I have a bit of a, 'reputation' shall we say, on this list. But I WASN'T EVEN THERE!! If I've ever said anything to anyone ever about you that offended you I am sorry. Did I insult you by proxy or something? Squarepusher - saw the new video on MTV last night, fucking hell it's SCARY and it takes place in some Osaka disturbed children's hospital. Brainswap with small dogs and fat men. Eurgh.

Sinister: too happy to speak
by Cynthia Someone 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Cynthia, I salute you. PJ- i salute you back. imagine me as a blonde bombshell with navy cap and silly, redlipped glossy smile a la WWII. You as John Wayne, with that boyish man smile. How long is long endurance? Lazy Line Painter Jane? The Rollercoaster Ride? Rollercoaster ride will suffice. For something, but i'm not sure what. Ah, perhaps I have been mistaken, on the smut front. i definitely meant more of a long warm nappish thing with clothes on and lots of drowsy hands and kissy kissies more than a boom boom isaac Hayes wicka wahka thing. On another note, i wrote a verse yesterday night! Isn't that wonderful? I feel like I've just toilet trained myself.

Sinister: Will they ever see the real you?
by Reid Dossinger 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Just call me "far behind". Actually, I prefer "Reid", but I digress...I only just this past morning read the issue of Chickfactor that had the interviews with Sarah and Isobel. Very interesting. Isobel...well, she did say that she considered "talking" to be her biggest vice, but a lot of times, her answers just plain didn't make sense. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and put it down to nervousness. Sarah's interview was much better. She came across as a hard-drinking sweetie, and just as adorably vulnerable as you might expect a B&S member to be. One thing she brought up, though (and I've wondered about this before) is that none of the B&Sers were happy with Sinister, but, as usual, didn't say why. Has anyone else heard of any reasons that they were unhappy with this album. I think there's a lot more to be unhappy about with The Boy. I love it, of course, but if you want to find mistakes and a truck-load of things that need to be fixed, that's the album. The fact that Sarah said that they all want to try really hard to make a classic album makes the mistakes on The Boy that much more baffling. Again, it's a wonderful album and it's not at all ruined, but...I just wonder how they let so many faults slip by. And the digest is buried deep somewhere in my Trash folder, but someone mentioned that she thinks that Isobel, Stevie and Stuart D.'s songs, while very good, are really inferior to Stuart M.'s, and I'd just like to agree. I like all of those songs (the music to Chickfactor, esp), but I consider Stuart Murdoch to be one of the greatest songwriters of the past 20 years, and the other stuff just doesn't (just *can't*) measure up. Should those songs have been left off the album? I don't know...I kind of like the *idea* of it being more of a band effort. But...well, my point's made. On to other things... Some westerner wrote: > i shant be going to any of those belle and sebastian shows, since california > apparently isnt important enough to rate a stop this time around (but athens > is, right? yep.) > Actually, I'm kind of surprised that this is the first time that someone publicly wondered *why* Belle and Sebastian are playing in Athens. To keep it short, it is simply one of the coolest towns on the East Coast. And I'm so proud of our little Belles and Sebastians for not avoiding the South like most UK bands do. Athens is not a tiny little hick town which, if I'm not wrong, the above quote implies. It's an hour from a city you might have heard of called Atlanta (another great place) and is home to the University of Georgia. And in case you weren't in the know, there's a few good bands and songwriters from Athens, some of which you may have even heard of. So yes, Athens IS important enough to rate a stop, thank you. What with Rod going to Boston and Tag going to Toronto, it seems that a hefty chunk of the UK Sinisterinos are right jet-setters. As I so often do after reading a digest, I feel inadequate. Okay, so part of the time I feel inadequate and part of the time I feel superior. But today I feel inadequate. And I thought I was special just for taking my hard-earned vacation days to drive to Athens and DC! Not hardly... Nutella tip: spread inside a flour tortilla and heated up just a little. Mmmmm....multi-cultural. Then again, I could make a meal out of a stack of warm flour tortillas. I not very smutty, so I don't have much to share on that front. Sorry... Uh, if this message gets delievered three times, then, uh, I meant it and if you don't like it I'll fight ya. Grrrrr!

Sinister: licking railings
by Butch Sweaters 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

My interpretation of the "a dose of thrush..." line has always been that the railing is one of those poles on the stages of strip clubs that "dancers" use. I've seen these performers put both their tongues and, um, other parts of their bodies against these poles and it's always struck me as kind of depraved from a hygene perspective. I never knew what thrush was, so that didn't really figure into my interpretation. So there you go. THOBS: http://members.dca.net/sweaters/.
