Sinister: Re: Snowpatrol
by Robert Hardy 20 Feb '98

20 Feb '98

I saw Snow Patrol on Saturday in Leeds. The band were excellent but the audience wasn't particularly big. You see, there was a Mogwai gig practically next door to which everybody in West Yorkshire had tickets lest myself and the other 15 people in audience. Even Snowpatrol had tickets, so they came on early and left early. Apart from the lack of atmosphere though they were really good. As for the type of music I can't really classify it. Sort of Indie Pop gone wrong. Perhaps someone can explain better... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Bars and biscuits: a Southern perspective

Go tell Stuart M. that this is the right answer. According to Dale 'n' Kyle's Carolina Dictionary: biscuit: a right tasty fluffy thing that y'eat for any time of the day. Real good with sausage gravy. bar: a place where'n you get likkerd up at. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re[2]: Sinister: Digger$

As far as I know, the Diggers were dropped by Creation, split up and some of them are back doing crap jobs in Glenrothes. The Archdeacon of Pop Blur245(a)aol.com wrote ... >One band in particular I really like is "The Diggers" so if >you like creation let me know. "Stop! Look! Listen!" ... now the Digger$ are worth your attention and appreciation. I have no idea how much recognition this fine Glaswegian band received following their contract with Creation Records, but "They said I'd know" from the _Mount Everest_ LP/CD must be one of last year's favourite tunes, "Life's all ways" off the "Nobody's fool" 7"/12"/CDs from the year preceding that ... the line-up featured quite interesting personnel in the earlier days as well.

Sinister: a smashing orangey bit
by Nick Dastoor 20 Feb '98

20 Feb '98

I think Tag might be mixing up his EC and his Customs & Excise (or is it Inland Revenue?) officials. I know it's an easy mistake to make. This is how I recall the case of a few years ago: Under UK taxation law, food is exempt from VAT charges, but this exemption doesn't cover confectionery (nor food in restaurants - it's all too luxurious.) Now cake is classed as a basic foodstuff (something of a hangover from Marie Antoinette and her Pasties of the Bourgeoisie no doubt) but biscuits, they're clearly frivolous items of confectionery. One day the taxman decided that Jaffa Cakes weren't really cakes at all but just tax dodging biscuits. McVities weren't going to take this lying down because they wanted to make lots of money. So the courtcase ensued. And clever McVities lawyers argued that JCs really were sponge cakes, just a lot smaller than the norm. In a coup de grace, they called for Exhibit A, a specially-baked giant Jaffa Cake which they sliced in front of the assembled court in a very cake-like way. Everyone gasped and the day was won. A Jaffa cake is a cake is a cake is a cake. Hmm.. Is the new LP going to have a pub trivia theme I wonder? "If you're feeling anal" anyone? So long Nick xxx Tag wrote: And jaffa cakes, which are particular bone of contention for me. Biscuit or cake? Since they are described as cakes, a recent EC directive decreed that they should therefore be taxed accordingly. And a jaffa cake contains light sponge, chocolate and a smashing orangey bit, but not 'biscuit'. But I can't help feeling that an authentic cake should somehow be bigger. I have no problem with them being called jaffa 'cakes', somehow jaffa sponges or jaffa biscuits is aesthetically inferior, and a bombay duck is a fish not a duck, and a parson's nose is not a nose at all, so why should a jaffa cake be a cake. A case of EC bureaucracy gone mad, perhaps? Maybe, other readers or indeed Stuart himself would care to offer their views. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: Everything you know is wrong
by Neil Hargreaves 20 Feb '98

20 Feb '98

People, people get it together...... A Rich Tea or a hob nob is a biscuit yes.... They have no chocolate on them only eh... whatever makes the crunchy. Crunchiness X... Therefore a neccasary condition for a biscuit must be crunchiness X. With not much more else. Chocolate is OK.... but I think if you've got toffee your a bar. So breakaways and trios are about the same size. Breakaways biscuits. Trio's bars.... nothing to do with size. And what the hecky moses are all these Streethawk votes for... the guy was a ponce. Ebery time he knocked somweone off or injured them even like really evil bad guys there was always the obligatory shot of him looking pensive. Whats goin' on there eh? My vote is for MICHAEL KNIGHT and KITT... Also I remember Manimal BUT was there not a similaire type of man/animal fusion series around at the same time.... A kind of Blue Thunder to its Airwolf.... Or have all these 80's TV oppositions gone to my head...

Re: Sinister:Milky Biscuit & other happenings
by barzy＠networkmags.com 20 Feb '98

20 Feb '98

Anyone here ever played "milky biscuit"? An ex mighty lemon drop told me about this rather...um...strange game that British bands play on tour (when totally pissed I hope)...he mentioned New Order played this, and i've not been able to listen to them, let alone kiss them...since. *shudder* Anyway.... last night at an instore at No Life records, here in LA....(Momus)...My very own Felicia came skipping over to me with a CD copy of Dog On Wheels...yeah yeah...no biggie for you British Milky Biscuit sorts, but for daft Americans it's been hard to come by. Felicia then informed me that there was one more on the rack and I scampered over to see a boy and a girl looking over it like the baby Jesus. I then did the most un-Christianly thing thinkable and snatched the sleeping baby from it's cradle...like a viper, I struck without warning....right infront of the poor fuckers outstretched hands.....I then felt flooded with shame at this vile and repulsive act (like a band member after a hearty game of milky biscuit) and knew...that wasn't very Belle & Sebastian fan-like at all.....so with this incredibly innocent (and quite dumb) look on my face I hand it over saying "oh...sorry...did you want this?" AS IF! As if i'd not just dived for it like Nicky Walker with a Hun football flying right at his wee heed. Sheesh. What a dope. They were so shocked at the genius move i'd just pulled to get it, they shook their heads and went "uh uh. that's cool. you take it." GOAL! Tag?
