Sinister: strange dream,what does it mean
by Genevieve Wesley 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

i can't wait to take a bath today,i was supposed to buy some socks..but instead i went into that lovely Lush store (i could just buy everything there!) Blue Skies And Fluffy White Clouds Bain Moussant!...yes,anyways... :) I had a Stuart Murdoch dream last night,in fact it woke me up.I walked into my favourite record store,and instead of the usual boys working there,it was Stuart Murdoch,dressed in a silver tshirt. He tried to get me to buy a Placebo album.I got a bit angry,and then I noticed he looked ill..i asked him if there was anything I could do. "No No NO!" he said kind of snappy,and I was a bit hurt,so I took him by the hand,gave him some blue pills and he winked at me and said he was going to lie down for a bit,in the storage room. I was very relieved,as I would do anything to make sure he was comfortable,then for some reason Minnie Driver walked by all snobby and Stuart sighed and went "Indeed,she is the olive of my oil" and I felt jealous. Stuart then asked a favour of me. "Anything for you" I said. He asked me to pose as him for an interview with Q. I got there,and the Q Interviewer man was all jolly and right-o ol chap...and suddenly i felt like i was in a sitcom "Hillarious mixups! He doesn't know you're not Stuart Murdoch,but the audience does!" And I made all types of embarrasing mistakes,he asked me about the first album and I was like "Oh yes! Elephant Milk!" the olive oil bit confuses me,it sounds almost smutty... I have consulted Zolar's Book Of Astrology,Dreams,Numbers & Lucky Days for other bits we have been wondering about. to dream of horses:These animals are generally good signs but the colour must be noted,such as black,white,brown and so on.This affects the omen.If you are riding a horse and are thrown,it is a bad sign.If someone on horseback comes to visit you,expect new from a distance.It is a very lucky dream to dream of a horse being shod. olives: An omen of peace and happiness in domestic life. honey: If you eat honey honey,it is a good sign.As the bees are industrious so must you be,and then you will thrive. i've got so much honey,the bees envy me xxxx genevieve p.s i heard this song on the radio and i was wondering who it's by...it goes along the lines of 'walking in the rain with the one i love' and theres this telephone part the girl calls up her man "baby,i'm home,i've got something to tell you..." "what?" "i lovvve you" "i love you to,did you get caught in the rain?" "Yess..and it was so beautiful,let me tell you how it began..." ??? ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: more sparklehorse
by Evan Gregg 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

checked Sparklehorse's "more official than not" website which i never saw before because i think ultimate band list might have just added a card for it the site said that the new album Waking The Spider i think it was is out in UK and AUS but not till Jan 26th or whatever the closest tuesday to that date is, also there are three Uk singles that cost 10 friggin dollars each for two or three songs, at least at Newbury Comics (new england's premier bull shit trindie rip off store that likes to raise prices then lower them and say they're having a sale and that sells anything with an import sticker at about twice the price even when they have a whole bunch of them, for instance Tindersticks-curtains on vinyl for $26 and everytime someonee bought one the next day there would be a new one though TBWTAS was the #1 selling record in the store that's little consolatioon since that just means there are B&S fans hiding somehwere in this town) typical that an album (vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot) which was on virtually every top album list by any reasonably sane reviewer for 1996 would be released later in the US stoopid americans "Football epitomizes the American way of life" (secret service director who switched to head of security for a football team (american football of course) (thats scary) that was slightly random, oh well i need to brush my teeth ----Ev np-Mercury Rev-Deserter's songs (i think its lodged in my cd player, only time ive listened to anything else in past fewdays was when i was walking around and all i had was my walkman, and i listened to a Game Theory cd in the shower) -- I'm just a shy boy sitting in a house When everyone's gone >From now on ----Mark Eitzel: "Blue And Grey Shirt" http://www.angelfire.com/ma/dixiecluck +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

i just joined too. but i have had nothing to say. i'm from canada. one singer that kind of reminds me of belle and sebastian is rufus wainwright. he's a canadian singer and he's recently (?.. sometime this year at least) released his debut eponymous album. other bands i like are air, the divine comedy, blur, pulp, david bowie, sean lennon, beck, radiohead, etc.. my tastes are too varied to really give any other hints. but you might want to try rufus :) is it generally considered that TBWTAS is better than IYFS? cos i like IYFS more, but everyone i've talked to, exclude person, says they like the other more. hmm.

Sinister:
by David Moore 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

Hi All, PyJama Miller wrote CD 1 of the Booker T and the MGs annual set . CD 3 features Boz Scaggs. Sounds like something you have to go to the vet with. Have Splat and Pish had their Boz Scaggs jabs yet? Boz Scaggs used to play in the Steve Miller Band for a while when they were good, c 1968. The album called just Boz Scaggs (sorry, just can't bring myself to type eponymous) is a little gem with backing by the Muscle Shoals (didn't Captain Chris once say that he admired these guys?)house band featuring lots of Duane Allman dobro and slide guitar. There's a 13 minute version of Loan Me A Dime with blindingly intense playing by Duane, rendered all the greater when you know that as he played so loud they had to shut him into the toilet so the rest of the band could hear themselves. Much later Boz recorded a disco album called Silk Degrees: What Can I Say was a minor UK hit (1976?) Michele Waggner & the Slow Giraffe Dreamer yearned for incense & communes. When we were at school we used to have a camp and a treehouse in the woods and would hang out there trying to be hippies. My mate Alan had all the Incredible String Band albums: I just bought 5,000 Spirits because of the cover (and First Girl I Loved). Played it the other day and its still (mostly) listenable. Perhaps it would sound better if I took it out into the woods, or into Honey's Perfumed Garden. (Blimey, I didn't realise that he had written that as well! Honey had better watch out, too, or that policeman with the wonky helmet will be after those tabs concealed in his skiddies.) Haven't heard any of other ISB records in decades. Sad to hear tales of now portly Evan Dando being a yob at the Supper Club. Seemed like a nice bloke when I've talked to him at gigs, despite his interest in Charlie & The Family, He even called me Sir. Such a well brought up young man. Went to see Hefner & Cinerama last night. Hefner better than I've heard on record, Cinerama fantastic, 14 songs, all great. I like new widescreen pop crooner Gedge better than his growly twin. I aked him what he thought of the Wedding Present tribute album, which I received recently (bargain: 12 tracks for only £2.95, and some of them are even good!). He likes Convertible by Frigidaire best, I go for the version of Blue Eyes by Jet Assembly, in a sort of Come On Eileen stylee. To finish with name dropping I talked to Damon Albarn's dad the other day and he's a nice geezer too. Enough of this rambling, what about Belle'nd S? Big Stu/Mystic Smegma wrote of the 2013 "Best of" album. In my role of B&S evangelist I have a 90 minute casette of which to give copies to likely converts. I haven't updated it for some months, so it still contains: Dog On Wheels/String Bean Jean/State I Am In/Expectations/Electronic Renaissance/I Could Be Dreaming/We Rule The School/Stars of Track & Field/Seeing Other People/Dylan In The Movies/Fox In The Snow/IYFS/Mayfly/LLPJ/Photo Jenny/Century of Elvis/Modern Rock Song/Slap The Cock Around/Century of Fakers/Le Pastie. It needs updating, but what to throw out? The arrival of SMUTTYBUS doesn't present too many problems, as I only like 5 songs (S!H!O!C!K! - 700 bad mails coming) and 1 is on already. So if I add Is It Pretty Not To Smile/Ease Your Feet Into the Sea/Dirty Dream and TBWTAS itself, plus Pocket Book Angel and I Know Where The Summer Goes which I acquired recently (take a bow Jake), what has to go? First thoughts are E. Renaissance/Dylan In the Movies/IYFS/Century of Broccoli, but then I'm stuck. Whats the perfect 90 minute Best OF? Advice welcomed, especially to avoid wasted minutes of silence at the end of each side. Thanks, David Moore Chelmsford, UK In the cat: Chicken & Kidney in Gravy - Felix +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some >groups someone that likes Belle and Sebastian would also like. I'm off to >work, thanks in advance, mike sorry peeps, I dunno if this is really for the list but thought I'd share with you all what I'm into (you back there, stop groaning:) As some listees already know Mike, I'm pretty crazed about Belly and Tanya Donelly (I preached about her in a previous post) If you haven't heard of her or them, you really must go out and buy yourself a copy of "Star" and have your breath taken away by this deadly effective combination of wonderful tunes and sinister fairy tales. Then go and search out her solo effort too- "Lovesongs for Underdogs", which will render all those moronic Alanis-ites even more useless if that is possible. MOst listees I'm sure have pretty varied tastes, so I'm just gonna share some of the more eclectic and disparate bands I'm into. One Dove are another band I've preached endlessly about. They make unspeakably gorgeous ambient techno (with lovely melancholy lyrics) that capture the spectrum of human emotion much more effectively than 99% of techno bands. Sadly they are no more, but "Morning Dove White" their one and only album is a thing of perfect beauty. Go buy it. Teenage Fanclub, Tindersticks, Spiritualized, Air, Black Box Recorder, Lamb, Palace and Sparklehorse are bands that can't be more highly recommended and are thoroughly essential. And not to be snobbish, there is a lot of 'big', 'commercial' bands that are magnificient also like Radiohead and Garbage. Anyway that's what I am listening to (though there are definitely quite a few more bands that I love but have neglected to mention). Nick Drake is definitely essential, being godfather of all things folk. it's a bit wierd I guess. Whenever i post, it's usually to rant n' rave about some band or the other. Hope the listees out there forgive me:) But I can get quite passionate about music (hmm have I said this before?) I'd like to share B&S stories or talk about list crushes and up my 'smut' factor but I can never find anything to talk about in those areas:) It's also hard to share B&S stories when the probability of B&S touring Western Australia are next to nil (sob boohoo) So I'll live vicariously thru everyone else I guess:) So I also guess I'll NOT be getting any list crush votes, unless anyone fancies a music freak! Anyhoo, that's all i gotta say for now. Welcome to the list Mike:) Hope you like it as much as I have seeya folks, Kin Woo With A Star Upon Your Shoulder Lighting Up The Path As You Walk ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Sid James snarls like punk grrls
by WeeJay 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

I appologise for the Jive thing. I've just had a look in the archives and, well, I must have been unsubscribed or not paying attention or anything. Still, it made me giggle and that's what had it's say. Her most modest fluffykins snarled: > But, you know...what are you on about when you talk about > 'punk' - shitty KERRANG! punk or, like...77 era punk? Shit, Belle > and Sebastian fans INTRODUCED me to say, Buzzcocks, Big > Flame etc - I just find it daft to think that people can't like two > different types of music, or three, or nine or whatever! Yeah, yeah yeah, don't be too upset... I mean I sort of assumed when I came on her that people would be into "Glasgow Scene" music in general but, um, they aren't on the whole. I wouldn't say I'm into types of music at all - I'm sure a lot of people who see me in the street would assume I like a certain type of "indie" music but if there's one thing I cant stand it's the incredibly dull anal retentive guitar-rock peddled out under that heading. Truth is, if it's good it's good, if it isn't it isn't and genres are a misleading thing invented by some music journalist to make their job a little easier. Tami wondered aloud: > I've checked the archives for this one (honest!!!), but it either > stopped checking midway, or no one ever mentioned it at all. > And perhaps no one's ever mentioned it because it's obvious to > everyone but me, who knows nothing but the color of my own > socks. Soooo, who is Sid James? Let me get this straight - you don't know who Sid James is!?! Haven't you seen any 'Carry On' films girl? I suggest you point your browser to http://www.carry-on.com/ immediately for a lovely picture of Sid doing what he did best...
