Sinister: Fall question
by Jordi Trenzano Vilar 15 Oct '98

15 Oct '98

I have recently bought the Fall?s compilation "The A sides" (some songs from 1984 until 1988) and I would like to know if they have more records besides the ones of that period. If anyone else has this compilation or any record where the song "L.A." appears, I don?t know if you?d agree that this tune has more power than the 90% (or 99) of actual techno ones. And it is from 85 ! Buy the cheese from Andorra, a very small country (like Luxembourg or Liechestein) at the south of France/north of Cataloniam where you shall find very good cheeses. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A common mistake to make...
by Gareth Probert 15 Oct '98

15 Oct '98

Just thought that I would add a hilarious mix-up to the tales of mis-hearings... In 'Fox in the Snow', I thought that he sang "Thoughts in the snow" (this was because I first heard it at a friends house, and was oblivious to the name). Well, I am going to leave you and enjoy the rest of my coffee Cheerio Gareth Probert +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Ah, see there you're wrong, because everyone except the guy who wrote the song KNOWS that it's "reved up like a douche". He's just operating under some very misguided symantec principles.

It's called a mondegreen (though I'm not sure of the spelling). One of the most famous examples being the Creedence Clearwater Revival line "There's a bathroom on the right" > >There's actually a word meaning "misheard lyrics" that I learned about due >to a similar thread on the Trash Can Sinatras list.

Sinister: short, but glowing review!
by Dmitry Komis 15 Oct '98

15 Oct '98

this one is from a local weekly mag at my school: Belle & Sebastian The Boy With the Arab Strap (Matador) Last year B&S released If You're Feeling Sinister, the single best debut record to come out of Scotland ever. The eight piece band transcended indie music, creating something lovely and now returns with The Boy With the Arab Strap, an albumthat continues where Sinister concluded. Many of the songs, such as "Sleep the Clock Around" and the title track, seem to be in the same vein of Sinister's beauty. Darker tunes arise like "Spaceboy Dream" and "Simple Things", but this reveals the band's range as complete instrumental wizards. Watch for this flawless wok to appear as one of '98's best. **** enjoy, dmitry +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
