I personally love Jarlsberg...but that's just me>> When Pulp went to Sweden, Russell asked the promoter there if he could try some of the local herring. The promoter backed away, saying "No, no, we don't have any of that". It was only later that Russell realised the guy thought he'd said 'heroin'. [Shearer, Calumn] When Kate Moss was at one of these famous peoples parties (do "stars" listen to belle & sebastian? apart from us, of course!) she was approached by Jeremy Clarkston who said "Hi! I'm Jeremy Clarkston, I do 'Top Gear' ". To which Oor Kate replied "Are you trying to sell me drugs?"... She was wrong, of course, but I always thought that Tiff was on something.... >I hear they're giving away copies of Tigermilk to the first 50 >people to show up. Naughty boy. April 1st was 6 months ago. [Shearer, Calumn] I thought it was 6 months away. [Shearer, Calumn] <<and snip all the rest!>> I know we're all very excited about the new sessions tapes, but come on - "read the nice archives". Or if you don't have web access, then ask someone to read them for you. Better yet, do as I do and keep the _important_ e-mails . That's what the save button's for, after all. Righ, sorry about that nagging, but It's 6:00 on Monday (sic - it feels like one!) Evening, and I'm still not out of work. (no, _not_ unemployed.... ) However, things are looking up.... I'm off home in about 20 mins. Im going to eat, then I'm off to the QM Union (Jim's bar - 9:30 - 10:00 'till later....come and have a drink, if you think... at all) Hey Tag! who's this Canadian girl then? Is it the same one I was chatting up ;-) Love, Hugs, and a little wrinkle of the nose (like a rabbit or a hamster, but WAY cuter!) cal +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

--I hear they're giving away copies of Tigermilk to the first 50 people to show up. yeah, right...i was there last thursday and we bugged the dj about 5 times to play a b&s song and he wouldn't...so i wouldn't count on too many b&s songs being played...the best bet is probably to snag posters off the walls...when they had a spiritualized party, people were tearing huge wall-sized posters down as soon as the dancing started... jim. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: B. Lenoir French sessions
by Jim Schmidt 06 Oct '98

06 Oct '98

I thought I'd take this time to ask who the American rep is that I need to nag, er..., ask nicely for a tape. ... We also need to know what's required to get a tape (a funny joke? a money order? a blank tape?) So say it once, and then they will have something to look up in the archives. SO, whoever my American angel is, please make yourself known, and I will get started on my end of the bargain. Hopefully you like cookies, no? :) ---well, that would be me jim. and i am currently compiling a list of interested (and possibly interesting) young ladies/gents/pets who can't wait to hear this session... alas, i myself, do not have the aforementioned session in hand, but when i do, i will contact all of the boys and girls and animals who have presented themselves so kindly electronically. my email is <jschmidt(a)sfweekly.com> or <beatnik(a)dnai.com>...choose wisely...i check one more than the other (but i do check both)...oh forget that, PLEASE just choose one...i will respond when i receive the tape from our enchanting french ami, philippe...and i'll let each and every person know where to send the tape, postage, cookies, catnip, etc. until then, cheers. and on another note, miss erin, is it time to send off our tape tree tapes?...why i believe i just sent your personal beautiful creation north to canada...i cannot tolerate tardiness... virgoboy jim. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Is it me or are people being a bit serious about this cover versions thing being talked about? It is only a bit of fun after all, its not as if its going to be released or anything. I would agree that the only reason for a proper band to do a cover would be a complete reworking or an unknown song, but this is just some fans having a laugh which has to be a good thing if they enjoy themselves. You dont have to listen to the finished product (i know i probably wont be).

Sinister: cover me badd
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 06 Oct '98

Well, Brad's left (boo!), Rachel's DJing (hooray!), and Peter Miller wrote: >Eartha Kitt Does Jobbies in Taxis Peter, I'm sorry that I cruelly raised your hopes, I should have made it clear, it was only a number one. It was Tony Adams that did the other sort. >Tribute album - I seem to remember a bunch of freaks doing something similar >for/at Elvis Costello via our beloved internet. Perhaps someone would like >to get in touch with said freaks to find out how they did it. I think it's a >terrible idea, but I hope you all prove me wrong. Thank God for that, I thought it was just me. Even though Miller obviously got out of bed the wrong side today, I'm forced to agree. I don't want to sound like a cynical old bastard (although that's never stopped me in the past), and I'm sure the idea was made with the best intentions, but wouldn't it be better if B&S, and all they represent, inspired people who could play an instrument to write their own songs, with oooh...just a little bit of originality, rather than rehash something someone else did a lot better first time around. The only good reasons for doing cover versions are to do something completely different (some of us are already working on our Gabba version of "Fox in the Snow"), to cover something Godlike, but relatively unknown and bringing it to a wider public (like Mick Harvey's Gainsbourg tributes), or to "take a shite song and make it better", like Saint Etienne did with "Kiss and ma..."....why are you all looking at me funny?
