Sinister: Problems with new E.P. - Shit!
by Gareth Probert 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

Hello there Bugger. I was playing the new E.P. for only the fourth time, and it skipped at 2:53 on track 1. Even after I cleaned it, it did it again at around 4:00. Bums. I did, however, get one complete play of it, so I might whack it onto a minidisc whilst everything is working. The Gate? It's great! Can't get enough of it. I think in some very obscure way it reminds me of Is It Wicked Not To Care?, but I can't put my finger on it. Hmmm.. I'm sure you are all looking forward to the prospect of some time off in the coming weeks, as I know I am. Damn it, why is there no meet ups in Derby! That was obviously rhetorical - I know full well why! Well, I'm going to leave you all with the thought that "planet earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do...."

Sinister: Today Matthew I'am going to be .............Katrina House
by Jake 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

Hi there list, I know David and Katrina will be picking up the emails while away, but I don't know if they'll be answer questions about the band, so yet again I'm putting on my Katrina wig (not that she wears one, but my hair is slighty shorter) and out I come with the answers............. Well todays Q was the unoffical chart position, as asked by Mb00EN(a)aol.com And the answer is (oh my god, copying that name has left the rest of the email underlined) a mighty 37. At one stage it was looking like it might beat 3..6..9.. but the sales tailed off towards the end of the week. But still it would have made the top 40. So lets give our selves a big round of applause. I'll be back to answer more B&S questions as and when required See ya jake +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm for rabbits.
by J Errington 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

Went record shopping today. Meant to go christmas shopping but I'm sure you know how it is when you get home from uni and all the secondhand music stalls / shops / sections have lots of new STUFF in! Now I find myself in posession of (a) the south park single. sorry. (b) back catalogue 'please buy these singles!' = Spz, Fanclub & the Pastels and best of all (c) '3 for £5' old vinyl albums from 'Market hall records' - Adam Ant, Cabaret Voltaire and the supreme majesty of THE Bobby Gentry & Glen Campbell album! Anyone want a copy? Or do I only share my strange weakness for country / easy listening with Isobel? Rabbits Vs Clotted cream? I was going to ignore this, but then Tag went and said: "Rabbits and clotted cream, what's that all about then? Was it supposed to be funny? It wasn't. It was a waste of my time." which you can take as bait since everyone knows that Tag is my list grudge;) So, I'm in favour of rabbits too, especially since ours have grown into huge great things in the 2 1/2 months I've been away and scarily have turned into viscious vampire bunnies that launch themselves at each other and bite the back of their opponant's neck. No shit, we have to keep Emily and Charlotte in seperate cages now 'cos they just attack each-other for no particular reason otherwise. Yes, we named our rabbits after the Bronte sisters, that's just how interesting a family we are. Clotted cream, on the other hand, isn't sweet enough and lacks the sickly loveliness of custard. Hmmn, nothing else to say, except that I've lost my internet access so if anyone wants to tell me how I'm doing in the Crush vote stakes, well, thanks. *I made my excuses and left* WeeJay xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Modern capitalism, organising the reduction of all social life to a spectacle, cannot offer any other spectacle than that of our own alienation" james(a)twopounds.u-net.com (my site kills browsers) http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Cabaret/5523/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Swedish outburst!

hello all, I'm brand new to this newsgroup. I noticed that stuart holds C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia in very high regard. I read them all when I was twelve and I was wondering if anyone knows if he's talked about Tolkien's lord of the rings, also books I keep close to my heart. How about any of you? Also, does anyone know where to get a cd bootleg of tigermilk?

Sinister: Swedish outburst!
by Anna J 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

Ah, tomorrow I'll finally get my copy of the TICKLEME EP (sorry), I can't wait. Two B&S songs I've never heard before! And I'm so curious to find out where the summer actually goes, I've had to stop myself from having a peek at the Jeepster site to read the lyrics, because I want Stuart M's lovely voice to tell me. I do hope he actually gives the answer, maybe B&S have decided to pull a cheap stunt to sell a few more copies and never give the answer, and the next EP will be called "The Meaning of Life" or "Where Socks Go When You Do Your Laundry" or something? Oh, I'm completely forgetting my outburst. I'VE HAD IT!!! What on earth does "natch" mean?!?!??? Everybody keeps using it and I don't have a clue. Please, please, help a poor non-anglophone with an insufficient dictionary. Send your answer in the form of an email or record an EP entitled "What Natch Means". Helplessly, Anna :) P.S. You probably all know this, and will yawn in a matter of words, but the other day when I was watching A Bout de Souffle I realised that B&S have put a bit of the dialogue ("Ne bouge pas ou je te brûle", or something like that) between Pocketbook Angel and London Has Let Me Down Again. I completely lost my concentration from that nice pic as I was trying to place where I'd heard the quote so many times, and then this little lightbulb lit in my head and I could return to the film... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: the lyrics do mean something
by Sandra Duric 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

Said the hero in the story "It is mightier than swords I could kill you sure But I could only make you cry with these words" My flat mate sent me these lyrics this morning because we're both suffering from the Monday "get me away from here I'm dying" blues. After a weekend of Christmas parties and watching Sonic Boom play with his 6 Speak N Spells - absolutely fascinating if not the most melodic noise in the world; I kept wondering about the modern definition of music...; but after a weekend of lots of no-work, now we're BACK, sigh. And we ran out of time during our radio show, and forgot to play the new B+S ep. Double sigh. By the way, anyone in the Michigan area who is interested can find, I think, all of the B+S eps on vinyl at Neptune in Royal Oak. But, what was I..., oh right, she sent me these lyrics and I couldn't help but think about some of the less than nice things that get talked about on the list. Just a thought.

Sinister: Re: I know where the summer...
by Ben Parker 14 Dec '98

14 Dec '98

Hello. With someone saying they were dissapointed by "I know where the summer goes"...well I was more dissapointed with the title track really. Doestoevsky isn't that sad really. Crime & Punishment was ultimately quite uplifting, I think anyway. Slow graffiti was one the best songs they've done in a while. BUt then most b&s songs need a while to settle into the subconscious anyway. Oh well...
