What!? I LOVED Davy and Goliath!!! My sister and I would wake up at 5 am on Sunday mornings so we could watch it together. It was this thinly-veiled religious show for children, in which Goliath the dog was the voice of Morality. (I am imitating Goliath's voice as I write this and I wish you all could hear it b/c it was probably the funniest part of the show! Ha, I can still hum the theme tune too!) BTW, I think it was one of the early claymation shows, not puppets. So Davy would do all these bad things like taking another child's crayon or not sharing his toys with his sister (Sally?) and Goliath would reprimand him and explain why he ought to do the right thing. Ok, so it sounds (and was) hokey but when you're 5 years old and have a stuffed dog that looks JUST like Goliath, you find this sort of thing quite stimulating. The baby photo that I am going to send to HoneyPaul (if I can get my computer to recognize my scanner) is of me clutching my Goliath dog, which I later lost on a bus (A BUS, hey look, there's a B&S connection for you!!) and was never quite the same. - Nicole .........nicolina(a)drizzle.com......... a man with his eyes shut swam upward through dark water and came to air it was the horizon he felt his way along it and it opened and let the sun out - W.S.

Sinister: Tigermilk/Demo Tracks
by G R Thomas 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

Hey all, Just a quick mail to say *oh my god* and *wahey* and lots of other very excited things in response to listening to Tigermilk for the first time. Can't really pick out any highlights as yet, but I'm sure I will do soon. Also hearing 'Modern Rock Song' for the first time (on the Radcliffe session)-what a whopper, eh? I just have one question, mainly directed at Andy Dean (who sent me the tape), but any one can answer the question who knows what I'm talking about-what are the names of the three demo tracks that are also on the tape. The first one is "Pocketbook Angel"-right?, but I can't recognise the titles of any of the others from any references on the list. If any one knows the answer, I'd be much obliged. Oh, and bobbins to that Warwick guy, Much hugs, GIDEONxxx "One tap for yes, two taps for no!..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sweet dreams...ok, probably arent made heeeeeere...
by Sarah 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

OK, I tried not too. It was hard. But now I have to do this. KNIGHTRIDER IS FAR BETTER THAN STREET HAWK! kitt IS FANTASTIC AND THE COOLEST CAR ABOUT, and whoops caps lock got stuck again there!! OHMIGOD! I have read a masseage from a guy who HASN'T GOT SINISTER! aaaaaaah! get it now Richard NOW NOW NOW! Adey the suit asked me how i knew about the insides of mens tolilets....well Ade, before I had the final operation and changed my name from Sam to Sarah, I took one last good look round the old 'lads' bog. aaah. Sometimes I regret going for he big chopola, but then I think how satisisfying it is being a woman. I hope that satisifies your answer. it *is* the truth, honestly! Hmmm. New Madonna single? Its PISH! thangyewverymuch. i would arse to say why but can't be. La la la. I wanna be adored....eh eh? I don't! I'll tell you what I really want. A house where there is food to snack on. Whnr you can't bear the thought of eating a full meal but just want a littel something and NOT acidic apples that burn your teeth off! Is that too hard! And tis all Stuart Murdochs fault for talking about biscuits that makes me hungry. And my friend had a holiday romance while I just had a holiday 'being in love with this guy whow ould never love me back 'cos he is going out with a pretty girl (even though she is a trendy dude but he isn't)' which didn't cheer me up to well. Yeah like all you strangers had to know that. Well, you don't have to listen. "if these words sound corny switch it off i don't care", and why does Kevin Rowland make so much sense to me at times? Salad (the food) is evil. The band Salad...um, exist. Thats the best I have to say abot them, fortunately or not as teh case may be. Sa;ad though. I mean. Is there any point to a huge fucking pile of green leves on a plate, the best you can do is to try and make it lok like a garedn, it doesn't provide much health value as its just all water - Salad is maufactued to be good by the slimming market in league with farmres. I will go now and start a personal vendetta about everyone and everything maybe. well perhaps salad anyway. my stepmother is giving up smoking. hahaha. i gave up ages ago but she doesn't even know i used to smoke. heehee. ooh, i was so 'anarchisitc' at those times. So, who else on this list has a penchant for bad '80s toons? I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: Naughty Kit
by Euan Leitch 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

Speeding round the cobbled streets of Embra I got to thinking about KNIGHT RIDER and how it was definitely my fave. But then I had a *sudden memory recurrence*. A few years ago me and my friend had the happy pleasure of actually sitting inside Kit. We were both 20 and naive little chums. Kit spoke to us and we were thrilled, until he started making suggestive remarks to us, and it became apparent that he could see us well enough to define our differing racial characteristics. We left sullied, but wiser. So maybe KNIGHT RIDER isn't so wonderful after all if the car was a sexual deviant. But maybe David Hasselhof's boss, the English guy with the Marcel wave makes up for it. He was truly smooth even though he spent a lot of time in the back of an artic. So if you ever make the expedition to Disneyland, California, and your sexual orientation is toward the automobile, try Kit for your kicks. Is it wrong to eliminate friendships because of peoples response to B&S? And I was thrilled to see The Catchers' album Mute liked by someone other than me. Beauty no.3 was the hook for me. Did anyone hear the Mongolian folksongs on BBC Radio3 last night? It was like listening to Ivor Cutler with added boingy bits and tings. Lovely Heaven.

Sinister: Fogg (the one who made the bet)
by Neil Hargreaves 24 Feb '98

24 Feb '98

What was I saying..... oh yeah.. I'm sure you all remember Willy Fogg and Dogtanian and the Muskahounds.... (80's toons extraordinaire) But do you remember all these guys (who I think must have been made by the same people) had the same angry face... They sort of made a noise like frgnnnnnnnnnnh! and culed their lips Elvis style and the background behind them sort of went whoooooooosh! but maybe this was just because they always leapt at someone when they got mad. Where did they come from? Did the creators of these fools do anything else (Kidnapped with mice?) any info appreciated. Also were they linked to Cities of Gold and dundundah! Belle and Sebastian... keep it real foos! neil H ------------------------------------------------- " despite myself at times well i have felt not in the mood for any of this..." ------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

That'd be great...It seems like they have that in place on their official site, but it just doesn't get updated all that often. So if it was just a matter of a band member or two writing in an email once a week, and someone else putting it on a site....perfect! ~Reid ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

You not a fan of Mark & Lard, then? Cause it's thanks to them that I ever heard of B&S in the first place. And following from that .sig quote, Lush have apparently formally announced their split-upness, after the suicide of their drummer. Miki + Emma are now going their separate ways. Which is a shame, as I really enjoyed the last album. Rod.

I'm turning 24 myself the day after and I certainly don't feel like a relic. ok so it finally happened....I had a b&s dream, well sort of - it was a list dream actually. I dreamt that I had a teenage daughter that was running off to go live in England and with her departing said "the only person who really understands is Tag, so I'm going to live with him!" Mr. McTaggart, you have some explaining to do here! what are you doing with the underage youth of America!
