Sinister: Woo Woo Woooo, Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh! Cities Of Gold!
by Richard Anderson 25 Feb '98

25 Feb '98

Hi The bird thing In COG was the Condor. We was talking about this very subject whilest sitting on the floor of our college bar being very drunk. We managed to remember between the three of us that they did find the city of gold, and the young boys father who promptly died. I think he went on to rule the city and its people. I know someone who hadn't even heard of this progra until I mentioned it. What a deprived childhood! Richard Anderson ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Is it the past, is it the future
by Keith Watson 25 Feb '98

25 Feb '98

>So, to sum up, '80's pop hitz - cool. Does anybody else share my love? >For me, those songs *are* the '80's. So spangly and shiny and scarily >crafted and precise, i do not understand the people who slag the '80s. I >understand i have no lost all cred and I shall be going to hide in a >corner now. It's true, certainly the early 80's were rather jam packed with nice singles here and there, unfortunately, not a lot that translates into a good album very often - at least in terms of the chart acts you're talking about, but plenty of nice stuff... Saw "Fade to Grey" by Visage on VH-1 the other week and it was cool. Elton John had some nice singles in the early 80's. I could be sure however that Mr.Blue Sky by ELO was from 1979, but that's me being completely anal. However, the early eighties turned into the mid 80's, and David Bowie was seen to be number 1 with Mick Jagger, whilst they Danced in the street to the most horiffically funny video ever made, tragically crap it was, and then Live Aid, with the Quo and Queen, which wasn't very good really, and basically form then on till Madchester, the UK was a pretty boring place - I guess some people will point out that there were loads of good bands, which they'd be right about, just that 99.99% of the British public will have never heard of them - except Strawberry Switchblade I suppose. And the Primitives... oh, but they're not very good... etc. etc. The other thing is, about slagging the 80's, at the beginning of the 80's, there was a whole load of, "Oh the 70's were shite weren't they" going down on the telly, however, this disappeared come the late 80's, it's maybe getting a bit late for that now mind you! It doesn't seem to be happening in the same way. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

In a message dated 98-02-24 18:08:14 EST, you write: > Maybe, maybe, this mail will make me qualify to the bore-bulletin. > > P. Yes, indeed it has. In fact, people will probably print it out to read on those nights they suffer from insomnia. Good job. Of course being boring does have its downside I assume, with all about you dozing off while you interact with them. Just wondering: does your hand fall asleep often? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: i didn't want to end up like this....
by Jennifer Phillips-Bacher 25 Feb '98

25 Feb '98

Hi everyone! Ok, i'll make this short. The following is a description of my first ever B & S dream. I was hoping it would be full of goodwill and love and all that, but instead it involved doughnuts. I was on the floor, tied to something i think, and Stuart M was dangling a doughnut rope over my mouth (kinda like those garlic ropes, but with doughnuts instead. chocolate.) I could hardly lift my head off the floor. I managed to get a few bites, but for the most part i went hungry. He told me his name was Stuart, but he was very unattractive, with a bloated head and a bulbous nose. Anyhow, this doughnut rope would be lowered to my mouth, and then, in a fit of evil, Stuart would yank it up and laugh hysterically at my struggle. Dr. Freud, can i make an appointment? warm regards, jennifer (footnote: Eric / Madison / Espresso Royale ...... e-mail me) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister: dreams
by JOSEPH FOSTER 25 Feb '98

25 Feb '98

Oh hello. I just like to say that I had a dream where I was in possession of some important material that could bring down some very important people, I had a struggle with one of these people but I managed to give the information to a boy I new as a child called James, who posted it for me. But I had not written an address, so I was surprised when I got a replie. From the church. Who said thankyou, but all the information was all wrong. And they sent me some football stickers, quite alot infact, and that made me happy for a while. When I woke up I was angry cus I felt that the church had tricked me. mail to 'pasty(a)geocities.com' if you want a copy of a 'Lullaby for the working classes' LP. It's very good. or go to http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/6995 if you want to fly. Bye.xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: i said i never would
by bradford 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

i said i never would post about any of my dreams on this list because there are so many people who do that i'm sure some people get mad.....but i had such a strange one and it involved b&s, i couldn't help but.... i was driving with one of my friends through some cozy neighborhood like off of the wonder years and our windows were down and we come across this gang of people and it turns out they were belle and sebastian (even though i don't really know what they look like). anyway, they were all eating those mentos things, those little candies where you could rob a bank and get away with it by flashing them. so we rode by and they started staring at us. so i says to my friend in a soft voice "roll em up" (talking about the windows). and as soon as we got the windows rolled up, all of belle and sebastian started spitting brightly colored juices at our car. all the colors of the rainbow. they just kept spitting at us and laughing so i turned around in my seat and gave the bird to one of them and then i woke up. ma-ma-ma we're all crazeeee now -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: the little prince
by G B Kline 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

how about b and s covering the theme song from that cartoon? I have remembered the first 4 lines of it for years - 'the little prince from outer space can catch a shooting star and sail away perhaps someday he'll come your way' - shouldn't that memory space be taken up by something else by now? by the way, I'm grace and I just joined the list (in digest form) a few days ago. I'm from VA in the US but I'm in London going to school until may. I arrived 2 weeks after the december gig and I *must* see b and s before I leave. Please someone, anyone pass on to them my humble plea...... also you're all kind people, please let me know about anything else going on in London that I'd like nice to meet you guys / i'm being kicked out of the computer lab now -grace ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Some bloke pinched my name!
by The Boy With The X-Ray Eyes! 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

Hello everybody, First off, the best cartoon in the world ever was The City Of Gold, the one where the kid set out from spain to the new world and searched for the lost city of gold. It went on for what seemed like years and had a very cool gold, flying bird/plane thing. I can't remember if they ever actually found the city, but I loved the cartoon so much that to this day I wish for its return. Actually come to think of it i have'nt got much else to say except that I had a lovely time in Edinburgh at the weekend, and met a lovely girl who just so happens to love B&S too, a match made in heaven, only she hasn't phoned me, should I phone her, all replies gratefully recieved. Oh, yeh and that new bloke andy pinched my name, shaft, poo! love colin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
