Bourgeoisie is 'middle' and the lyrics definitely indicate a peculiar yearning for an escape from the banal restraints/supposed oppression of judy blume, church bazars, and other utterly boring pasttimes of the middle class. very clever, actually. mark. > >>I doesn't mean anything - it's pretending to be bakery of the rich. >> >>-teri >> >>I was always under the impression that "Bourgoisie" was the "middle" or >>"working class" or opposite of the rich.

Sinister: mishearings and other ear rings
by Wise, Terri 15 Oct '98

15 Oct '98

Well, I listened to "Me & the Major" in the car on the hoof to work today and as we all now know, it IS mighty funny if the major is a midget... sorta sounds at one point like he's singing "me and the midget don't see eye to eye on the number of midgets..." ? heh heh My ridiculous ex-boyfriend (from many many moons ago) heard INXS' "Suicide Blonde" as "soup and salad bar"... and then my pal long ago thought that in the John Lennon song "Strange Days" or whatever it's called (can't remember - that's a while ago and it wasn't exactly my fave anyway) he sang "Nobody told me there'd be neglectees" (instead of "days like these"). Whatever neglectees are! I quite enjoy "Photo Jenny." That theme really winds through much of what they do... photos... Garbage... aptly titled. How dare they cancel B&S for that drivel? I'm off to frolic for the weekend starting this afternoon. I expect lots of B&S will fill my ears on the long ride home. And I thoroughly anticipate 300 list mails will greet me upon return! So long, kiddies!

A little help, please... Does anyone know what "Le Pastie de la Bourgoisie" translates as? It's the kind of question I hate asking, as (as a former English major I believe in dictionaries) but after consulting with several friends who claim fluency, two dictionaries, and the entire Wednesday afternoon staff of the Boston French Library, nobody knows. I suppose relative to "where am I going to get a job" or "is there such a thing as a bona fide soulmate" this isn't a big issue, but it's got me wondering.

Re: Sinister: This EP is better than that EP!

I agree. However, I will say that the Lazy Line ep is much more incomplete and 'searching-for-a-sound', characteristic of new bands. Indeed the title track gives me hives...

I am reporting on the sad lack of Belle and Sebastian in Australia, in spite of Sezah's, the chat stalwart, best efforts. I was privileged to meet Sezah (phoning her Sydney house I panicked and risked asking for "Sarah" - I was correct luckily...), and on the way home to the UK I stopped in Bangkok and met again Ooooooon, that clean living Thai lass. Who told me that Chris said that she had a "gabbling habit" Adding insult to injury, I said she did speak quickly sometimes when excited. Oon was very gracious, and ignored my chatter. But we did make a discovery, which is that no-one can understand Keith and Chris when they talk together - so low and manly and Scottish are their voices. But I digress. I also met Fluke, who is in chat as well occasionally, and is a brilliant driver and very nice bloke. I just struck me, that nice as it is to have Internet friends, it is very nice when they can turn into "real" friends, and you can stay in their house, drive in their cars, and gossip about other sinisterines. And eat their food. Unfortunatly all this did mean that Honey had to have a relapse of bad health without anyone to bring him food etc, but hey, priorities. Awwwwwww. I also have something to add about Lord Anthony. I believe St M did tramp as a child around similar areas to those tramped by my own infant self, and there was a branch of Lord Anthony on Fenwick Rd, Giffnock which was a dreary mix of grey school uniforms and burgundy slacks, as far as I remember. No-one used this shop, and it was obviously a cover for something. Perhaps by examining the lyrics of the new song, we can discver what. Once again, I feel my subconscious has been mined by the songsnake. I am scared. If a song comes out featuring my school dinner menu, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Sinister: You Made Me Forget My Thighs
by Corpora Arenacea 15 Oct '98

15 Oct '98

Since when do secondary sex characteristics denote beauty? Huh? Why are all the women in porno shaved, or most at least? Scary, I say. And seriously, at the first party I threw at my house I was talking about how the historical scale is now reversed, and those with money can afford to be thin while the poorer have to settle for fast food and tv dinners and wind up being horridly overweight, when my friend Jerry from 400 miles away strode in, plopped down on the couch, and yelled (in front of all my paraprofessional, uh, colleagues) "BITCH, BRING ME A CHICKEN POT PIE!" It was funny how every single one of them got up and said they really had to go all within a minute of each other. I mean, there was a queue to leave. I had to return a keg 95 percent full. But really it's nice that the beanpoles get their chance at being the queens, seeing as fat girls have had the rest of history to be the paragons of beauty. Not that this excuses eating disorders or anything. I really don't think the first thing that goes through a man's head when he sees a girl, consciously or unconsciously, is "God she could bear my offspring quite well couldn't she?" Though my sociobiology course contradicts that. Perhaps men now want a girl who =won't= bear any children. And you don't know about body image problems til you've been a man stuck with childbearing hips. Worse, a second-grader. Unnggh. I've come to accept that I'll never have a cowboy's ass. At least if you're a girl it's somewhat natural to have a pelvis like a wok. My favorite formative memory on body image was reading in Sassy an interview with J Mascis.... "How do you feel about girls with big asses?" "Any guy who's not weird will take as much as he can get." Ha! My dog loves rock and roll. And she's old! Whenever I really crank the stereo she just moves up and lays right by the subwoofer, and the only surefire way to get her in the house is to kick on my amp and play the most tinnitus-inducing guitar..... she runs (well sort of waddles) up and just puts her head right in the amplifier.... I'll test her response to TUBBYWARS tonight. She's easily the hippest 84-year-old I know. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: B&S session on Swedish radio!!
by Miche�l O'Dwyer 15 Oct '98

15 Oct '98

Actually, not any more... I was just browsing the P3 website to try to get the details of the B&S session on Monday night (the repeat of the recent French session), and to my horror discovered it had been cancelled until further notice, and replaced by Garbage. It also lists all of the live sessions to be broadcast until mid november, and there's no sign of b&s. Does anybody know what happened, and whether it's ever likely to be broadcast here? cheerio mick +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
