Do they tell you when they're going to play certain videos on the Chart Show? If they don't they all smell of wee and beetroot. That is my final word on the matter, unless I think of something else to say about it later. In which case it won't be. Here's one for all you Kurt Vonnegut Jr. fans out there: Are B&S fans a granfalloon or a karass?

Sinister: PE

good afternoon all, since i've been reading these highly amusing anecdotes of days gone by, i keep seeing p.e. and this has been a constant reminder of a very horrible week end just passed. (it's ok, i'm in counselling now ;) . you see, my p.e. stood for pulmonary embolism. that's right kids, a blood clot in the lungs. rather scary not being able to breathe. think of asthma and x by 100 (well, probably not, but the story goes a lot better that way). after a barrage of tests, the doctors decided i didn't have a clot and it was most probably "stress"... hmm, thanks, that was a load off my mind. but since that was not really anywhere near the point, i shall relate my *proper* p.e. story. being naturally athletic, of course i have no traumas related to school sports ;) i do have a question though. when we'd have swimming our teachers would threaten us with the old "chemicals that turned purple in the pool etc " chestnut. was this just an australian" thing or is it a global lie? shelley ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: RE: Roxanne Roxanne

The list's resident Roy 'Chubby' Brownalike Peter Miller said... >The point is, I suspect that the best music >of the eighties ws hip hop. I don't know much about it, but when the reissue >scene gets its act together, I'll be there, fifty years old walking around >without any laces in my "sneakers". Seems to me that the 'best' music from any decade is the stuff one likes the most. Unless, of course, I don't like it, in which case it is objectively bad. > To help prepare myself, can anyone >remind me of the name of a girl rapper who swore a lot. I'm sure the >character Angela, played by Rosie Perez, in "Night on Earth" was based on >her. It was Roxanne something or other, but not Roxanne Shante, who was >equally adorable. It was on John Peel a lot. Making any sense? Perhaps I >dreamt it. You fat clown. You probably did dream it, but unfortunately your credibility is rescued by the fact that the lovely Real Roxanne seems to fit the bill...And yes, she did have somnething of a foul mouth as I remember, reserving her venom particularly for Roxanne Shante. Ah, hip hop slanging matches. Wouldn't it be good if Belle and Sebastian got into a recorded slanging match with some of their contemporaries? Perhaps they could see their way clear to 'dissing' Mogwai? A little vinyl spat between a few bands, slinging the insults just for fun, that would be cool. bye Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: RE: it's a family affair!
by Chris Leonard 27 Feb '98

Dear Mr. Bergman, Hello and "Och Aye" from Scotland! It is good that you have joined us and I'm sure you will enjoy the Sinister Shananigans. There are occasional obscenities and non-subtle innuendoes but you will soon spot which authors have dirty minds, and avoid them as I do. Amanda is a charming young lady and is very welcome to stay with my family during her holiday to the UK next month. She will be well looked after and fed porridge. I hope this find you well, Christopher ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Come come ye sons of Art (and daughters)
by Johnston, John CT 27 Feb '98

27 Feb '98

(Hello Mr. B - welcome aboard) Been feeling in a bit of a grump lately but when the Tall Guy re-raised the question of the picnics I was filled with joy once more. I am willing to accept your twister challenge, Sir. Your rangey limbs may be some advantage but I'm going to stage lightening tickling attacks - so beware. I think when we do have the first picnic they should occur all over the world; wherever 2 or more sinisterenes are gathered together. We could then arrange for Elton John (or even better - Sonia) to sing a medly of his/her hits in perhaps London and then jet off to the USA - live-aid style. I shall make some of my mother's celebrated Anzac cookies for the day. And bring my frisbee. Off topic even further now so please stop here if you're a thrusting executive and time equals money and all that stuff. Anyhow a friend has sent me a fabulous Tommy Cooper gag.... 'A bloke came up to me and said "I'm going to chop the bottom off one of your trouser legs and put it in the library". I thought, that's a turn up for the books.' Don't tell me Sir Heathcliff Richard wouldn't have loved that one... xx john ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Live?
by Ruth McCurry 27 Feb '98

Jimbob wrote: How many of you have seen B and S live? Was it good? That second question is a bit of a complicated one. I can only use phrases like `I've never seen anything like it in my life' and `How can you scream and shout and dance and jump up and down when your heart is literally melting and it's all you can do to remember to breathe'. Mmm, it's good. I keep seeing that video by Theaudience, and I do find it worryingly arousing. My absolute favourite at the moment is Gone till November by Wyclef. I think he's in the Fugees (who I Hate), but this is one of the loveliest things I have ever heard, and the video makes me cry. It even has Bob Dylan in it. Has anyone else heard this song? Is it out yet? I can't find it anywhere. My ex-wife tells me that she went to see Cornershop and Oasis in Tampa and managed to sell Liam's tambourine for $800. Apparently he threw it at her in a fit because she was heckling. Was anyone else at that show? Is this true? (Sorry, this is all a bit personal, I know!)
