I a recent post, you wrote:"anyhow, basically i just want to say that when you hear american radio these days, it's littered with filth that's called music and it's sorta sad. i play people beele and sebastian, suede, pulp.....etc....etc...and they dont even give it a chance cuz it doesnt sound like shit california "ska" influenced crap..ie...smash mouth or like dmb or like matchbox 20." What about No Doubt? Yukkkkkky! I couldn't agree more with you, American radio music is utter shite. I just don't listen to radio (unless I'm in one of my classical or jazz moods.)But I've been a bit more lucky and have played IYFS out at this bar I frequent a couple of times only to find some people nodding their head to it and looking like they enjoy it. I've even had several people ask who it was playing and they wrote down the name. Good luck spreading the word wherever you are because if some people respond to it in the state of Tennessee, then chances are there will be more other places who do as well, if not more so! Preach on, Brothers and Sisters!:) Jeni ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: an apology to the people whom i told i would make tapes for
by ahalter 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

hmm bad grammar i ended that with a preposition... at any rate i would like to sincerely apologise to the people i promised to send tapes to right away... you see the thing is that i am an art student and my big show for senior seminar is next week = it opens on monday to be precise my grade for the class is based mainly on this show and its a project that i have been working on for 8 months and so i am a bit nervous and scrambling around trying to finish it and prep the gallery etc... so i have been far too lax in this taping business... but i _promise_ that as soon as my show is up i will be sending tapes out like mad and everything will be sent by the 1st of march... i really truly do promise this... i am really quite sorry i am not usually this flaky about things... hullo to other list people who are reading this and have no idea what i am speaking of... it was beautiful here today in los angeles and i went skipping about... and then i went swing dancing at night... i am not sure if this is a popular activity in other countries but for some reason its taking the us by storm especially the coastal cities... so i am sitting here a slightly flushed from dancing american girl who spent the evening running from the lecherous advances of a spurious boy with a ponytail who will constantly tell me 'no allison youre doing that _wrong_' when really i can do it quite right with any otehr partner and wondering what people tihnk of that and trying to scheme a way to the uk this summer as well... hoorah! i apologise also because this really is quite unrelated to belle and sebastian things... its just about me... love and kisses allison ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: teddy bears and cocoa milk revisited
by Lzylnepntr＠aol.com 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

no, i just think i didnt really make myself clear. i know that there are a trillion(?) great american bands an whatnot, it's just that everywhere i turn i see "VERVE PIPE'this and "MATCHBOX 20" that, and when i hear it, my ears start to bleed. even my kid brother has fallen to the teenybopper music. in fact, much of ct has fallen into it. dave Mathews this...not that he's all that bad, but get over it, it's not the greatest thing i heard...shit, i actually have no clue as to what i want to say. cripey. anyhow, basically i just want to say that when you hear american radio these days, it's littered with filth that's called music and it's sorta sad. i play people beele and sebastian, suede, pulp.....etc....etc...and they dont even give it a chance cuz it doesnt sound like shit california "ska" influenced crap..ie...smash mouth or like dmb or like matchbox 20. in short, my message is matchbox 20 suck. verve pipe suck. smash mouth suck. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re: tigermilk questions
by andrew dean 18 Feb '98

>Who's doing the lead vocals on "Seymour Stein"? It sure as hell doesn't >*sound* like Stuart M...if it is, he's be taking vocal lessons. stevie >And who's that sounding like David Bowie on "Modern Rock Song"? don't know who you mean here (david bowie?) but generally if it's not stuart m and it's not isobel than it's stevie (unless it's spoken in which case it's stuart d). oh, except on wednesdays when there's a full moon in which case it alternates between richard the drummer and salman rushdie... >Is there anyplace where I can get complete lyrics to the sessions stuff? >Or is no one touching that yet? that bit that gets added to every single list message, the url in there, have you tried that? because if it's not there then it doesn't exist, unless it's in the mail archives which you can search through from the link (i'm pretty sure 'slow graffiti' has been done but not 'sleep the clock around'). probably easiest just to listen to the tape and work them out for yourself... andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: teddy bears and chocolate milk

as of now i cannot think of anything to say about anything Belle and sebastian related for there has not been anything new from them that i've seen. nor has there been any news. thus, i feel as if i should mention that i really don't like chumbawamba all that much(if that's how you spell it). i heard a few cuts off of their new album and they just are not all that appealing. every track has been done before by a million other bands, and done better. in addition, "everything must go" was voted best album of 1996 i think it was by Q, it's a good album and all, but not the best one i heard that year. what about the Verve Pipe? what about Matchbox 20? in short, i think i am just rambeling on about how much of American contemporary rock/pop music is wretched. give me a break, it just sucks. of course there are a few exceptions; beck, ben folds, rem....but in short, it goes without saying, british bands today are ahead in the 'ol game. for every shitty american band, you can name 30 great english ones. byebye. y ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Something else kinda cool that I'd forgotten, the funniest thing happened this morning when I opened my eyes, as literally the first thought through my mind was, "From the first moment of waking up, she knows she's losing it, oh yeah she's losing it."!! hehe, love t-belle other "life" lyrics: "it's up to us to change" from "A town called malice" by the jam and "when you're alone and life is making lonely you can always go downtown" or however it goes, cos whenever I feel sad I go shopping in union square ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Always look on the runway for ice

Paul MacDonald wrote: >Man U for European Cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >England for World Cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take this evil man off the list. He is Satan. He eats children and enjoys 'pleasuring' farmyard animals. It's a scientifically proven fact. And only psychopaths use that many exclamation marks. And glory hunters. Sorry but I deleted Sinister Digest 70 in a fit of pique when I read the above, so I can't remember who was asking about Serge Gainsbourg. All I can say is buy the 'Comic Strip' compilation as a first step and take it from there. He was a bit like God, only pervier, and with better clothes, lyrics and tunes. And he was French. I don't think God was French, or else Eric Cantona would never have been allowed to happen. My games teacher used to call me a 'little rusty yobbo'. I liked that, and I've aspired to it ever since. Sinister Digest 71 was full of gibberish. I don't understand. I just saw a Canadian film called 'Twilight of the Ice Nymphs', but sadly it wasn't about Genevieve. That's all, I'm going to the pub.
