Sinister: humming B&S songs...
by Aranzazu Sanz Garcia 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Hello list : well, especially hello to Marc (Casarotto) and Robin (Stout) Probably most of you read Marc's message yesterday where he said something like : 'I am still yet to meet anyone one on the street or on the train(I don't do buses)...'Hey,Marc, I do buses and if Robin also does , and not trains, perhaps we are bound to meet any day,as I just realised we are at the same Uni (Nottingham) which is not so large, and the whole city is not very big deal, either. So Robin, if I heard someone at the top deck (in the 12, for example) la-la-la-ing one morning some B&S tune,I will look back ,not as Dylan would do,and I know it will be you the one I am after! To the few compatriots in the list : 'estaba esperando la casualidad de mi vida ', Ana, 'los amantes del Circulo Polar' la habeis visto ? no os parece maravillosa?

Sinister: kurt vonnegut
by Carl Polgar Jr 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

this is not a request for tickets -- well . . . shit . . . i guess it is -- but not for belle and sebastian tickets. anyway, someone wrote a while back ago that kurt vonnegut was going to be speaking at the university of georgia on the same day as the belle and sebastian show and i was wondering if anyone had any information on how to get a ticket to this event. also, if tickets can be purchased, how close is the university to the 40-watt club? my girlfriend has been dying to meet vonnegut for several years now (we missed him by a day when we vacationed in berkeley last year), and to meet him and see belle and sebastian on the same day would just be divine. any help would be greatly appreciated. also, in the same way that there is a register on the mailing list web page for original copies of tigermilk, should one be started for people named jessisca? carl cp83985(a)pegasus.cc.ucf.edu +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: german cars
by Philippe Garnier 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Anna wonders : >Plus, I've got a question. Does anyone know who sings a song that starts >"There are stars and there are German cars"? Stars... german cars...it could be a song about Mercedes Benz cars... so mayby it is a tribute to Lady Di ... you know, as this song by The Divine Comedy (Generation Sex)... Forget this, it's wicked french humour.

Sinister: Tix for DC Show and Noodle Threads
by Sam Devere 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

If anyone has extra tix for the DC show, please let me know. I'm interested in at least two... To piggy-back on previous threads...one of my fave magazines is the Big Takeover. They are rather opinionated, but offer loads of mostly indie reviews. Regarding the Julie Christie thread, Stephen Duffy wrote a song titled 'Julie Christie' in the mid-80s. This is when he sounded aweful. Does anyone remember 'Kiss Me'? I saw the Lucksmiths in DC a few weeks ago. I thought they were very good. The singer (Marty?) had a huge grin on his face the whole show. Those lads need to drink some more beer or something cause the three of them combined can't weigh more than a buck-o-five -- no offence to the skinnies on the list. I loved the live version of 'Jewel Thieves' -- such great guys it's hard to believe. Saw Dweezil Zappa and Lisa Loeb (ok it was a free ticket for some hi falutin Democratic party affair). They played solo, she with an acoustic, he with electric. It was rather amusing because he kept throwing in these Van Halen riffs in the middle of Lisa delicate strumming and all the drunk democrats were clueless. Regarding the similarity between the Trash Can Sinatras 'Unfortunate Age' and the B&S song, there's an even stronger correlation with a Northern Picture Library song off 'Alaska'. I believe it's song eleven. The intro piano piece (which is about 6 seconds long) is identical, I'm surpised that TCS were able to get away with it.

Sinister: The electric train of soft cylinder parts
by Kevan Cooke 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 Belle and Sebastian. Surely the only music appropriate for such things is a smattering of Isaac Hayes (for preliminary smoochiness) followed by the William Tell overture. Once you're done and you're grinning and glowing with your sweat and various other bodily fluids all sort of mingling together, that's probably the moment to put Belle and Sebastian on. Charlotte said something about tonguing technique, which I think should be discussed more fully. Then she called for the return of Rod, again this was something that needed to be said, in spite of his embarrassing problem. Incidentally, has anyone heard from that villain of vaudeville Espadrille since he fled the country and took up residence on the side of a volcano? Keith, the FAQ is great (especially in jive) but it still doesn't answer the St Lucy question. Did anyone else ever watch the wrestling on ITV? Not the WWF stuff, the old UK wrestling with Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks that they used to show until the mid-eighties. Great wasn't it. Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all. Do you remember the wrestler called Catweasel? You do? Well, that was Adrian Evans. No, really. Just ask him. Shame Manchester's off, I was looking forward to giving Evans another menacing.

Sinister: Searching for the young soul rebels
by Anne Ward 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Hello there Going back to Divine mix tapes - Peter, you've got nothing to worry about. The northern soul ones (called "Soul time", and inventively "Soul time again") are very good, but they aren't mixed because there's not a lot of point mixing old records that tend to have a proper start and finish, not like some of that new-fangled dance music. You can tell they've been done on two decks though as there isn't a five second gap and a big clunking noise between songs, like when I do it. Still, a mix-off between PJ "and Duncan" Miller and Andrew "Hot Pants" Divine would surely be a big attraction at the Sinister soul weekender. Are we still having one? When I was in an uncharacteristically good mood the other day I almost offered to copy the tapes for all those people asking about northern soul. Then I realised that's a bit mad when there are 700 of you and you can probably make your own if you cobble together enough of those Kent compilations. However, if anyone wants to offer a really good swap, like a tape of all those B&S things that everyone's always talking about and I've never heard, or anything by the Love Unlimited Orchestra, who I'm right into just now, they're yours. Plus, I've got a question. Does anyone know who sings a song that starts "There are stars and there are German cars"? It might be called "I'm not built for this". Someone at work has given me a tape to play name that tune with and it's the only one I'm stuck on. They should have given it to Keith. Ta ra for now.

Sinister: Re:French pop singers yet again
by nikolas montaldi 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Hi List, Philippe and Kevan were discussing French swingin' sixties stars like Francoise Hardy and France Gall the other day,and I just wanted to say that there was also a funny male called Michel Polnareff. In his early days in around 1964/65 he looked quite handsome and sang beautiful little songs,like "La pouppe qui fait non","Le roi de fourmis", "Ame Caline" etc.,simply accompanied by his guitar,some cellos and a squeaky hammond organ.I tracked down some of his original vinyl records a few years ago and never stopped listening to them. Unfortunately Polnareff later lost all his charm and simplicity and reinvented himself as some sort of frightul, androgynous creature, stalking the stage in his underwear,with massive shades and a horrendous haircut. Sadly photographs of that sort now grace every of his compilations and surely scare of any half interested kid.It's a shame,he should have left the drag business to other people who did it better. Well I just thought I should mention him,he's no competion to Francoise and France(who made some nasty comeback records as well,by the way),but his early stuff is lovely. Bye everyone, Stephane - what happened to you? No messages on the list from you for days,I hope you are well.

Sinister: C'est Lenoir
by Philippe Garnier 21 Oct '98

21 Oct '98

Jake (or is it Kenny ?) asked : >Anyway, what I was really wanting to know was what times is Bernard Lenoir >on? and on what frequency? >Philipp's tales of B&S, salako, and espically my fav's Looper and making me >desperate to get a listen. Does he also play French indie music? AM 162 kHz. 9.45-10.30pm (Paris), 8.45-9.30 (London) It starts at 9.30pm when there is a black session. The next black sessions : 22.oct.98 Hefner (tomorrow!) 27.oct.98 Placebo 17.nov.98 Boo Radleys Have a look at Lenoir's web : http://www.radio-france.fr/inter/lenoir/summary.html Go to the "Playlist" pages to get an idea of ... the playlists. As an example, last monday he played : Tindersticks: A marriage made in heaven Hefner: The sad witch Placebo: 20th century boy Pulp: We are the boys Mercury Rev: Holes Snowpony: Snow white Mitchell Froom: watery eyes (feat. Mark Eitzel) Mitchell Froom: Dopamine (feat. Suzanne Vega) Depeche Mode: Only when I lose myself (Gus Gus remix) Sing Sing: Feels like summer Actually, Bernard Lenoir does not play much french indie music. As far as the black sessions are concerned, a few acknowledgements: - to Loic and Gwendal who gave me the tape of the belle&sebastian's black session. - to Laurent who took the photos I enclosed with the tapes I've just sent to you (3 photos, one showing Stuart M playing the trumpet). These photos are available on the Lenoir's web. - to Bernard Lenoir for his comments between the songs :) - to the audience for clapping (I was there!) - to my dubbing machine - and TO THE BAND of course, for the magic session!
