Sinister: B&S CONTENT!!!! a tad.....
by Sarah 14 Feb '98

14 Feb '98

Oh I really wish B&S would do something so I could justdify posting something without really mentioning them.....OK, um, tought luck ladies, Richard Colburn is MINE!!! (um, that could have been sarcasm. I dunno 'cos I've never seen him.) I was going to marry Stuey M, but he didn't send me a valantines card the cold earted bastard so....aah shut up Sarah. Keith! Obviously Airwolf is a zillion times better than that other crap...ble thunder indeed. Airwolf rules. I actually sent HoneyPaul a homemade card, but I will wish him happy birthday on the list too! So, um happy birthday, valentines day (even though I only got half a card which was done in front of me with biro and torn in half to share with the other Sara...) and happy easter too. Well, Woolies are selling Easter eggs. Along with the *fantastic* Barbie Lollies that you get with free stcikers. Gatorade......I think we shuld start a topic about MOUNTAIN DEW. The yellow stuff that could very possibly be over-caffienated urine??? OR how about we don't as that is the kind of thing me nd my friends would start a heated about at it would be a long running joke which would amuse us and exclude outsiders...... As fr the Lovin Spoonfull, again, have no idea what they sound like. For a moment I thought they did 'youve lost that loving feeling',but then I woke up a tad and thoght 'oh no thats the Righteous Brothers'.....so I will just say that......oooh. i don't know. But Chumba=46ucking-wamba.....or as my friend calls them Chuwum-baa-baa, ooh they irritate me. But looking at them I am wondering if they will actully achive anything now with a huge audience of trendy dudes, spouting off their oh-so-anarchic (sorry i can't help my sarcasm) voices. I am biased against them I'll tell you that for nowt. But then again, if tehy let a lot more people know about the injustices in society are they serving a better purpose? Or are they just annoying twats? Any opinions anyone? And I would also like to tell you all how Catch make me laugh and giggle. When i firts saw them on TOTP I wet myself and the other day I heard them in TopShop. Heeheee! brains, beauty, teenpop guituarzz, man, ace. AND, last night Spiritualized were on TOTP. I fon't like the way the songs been edited to conform to a more verse-chorous-verse structure, thats not how Spiritualzed work. Their songs need space to breathe and peak. They were still great, but I got more of a 'buzz' watching Aqua tehn I had had out of any 'serious real' groups for ages. OH! I DO have a serious B&S question! In just a moder rock song is he singing "macanaramas clever as mark twain" OR "and I'm not as clever as mark Twain" 'cos the last lyric makes more sense and thats always what I thought it was untill someone wrote the macnarama lyric and now I dunno. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!! SarahBelle who must make more sense someday. "Sounds off the wall I know, but consider this. If you take the complete musical output of a generation, the whole damn lot, then don't you have something? A kind of soul perhaps. The soul of a generation. I mean, it's in there in the music. We all know it's in the music, somewhere, right. Anybody who's ever really listened knows it's there. Somewhere." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Spoonful of Cack
by PJMiller 14 Feb '98

14 Feb '98

Righteous indignation the likes of which we haven't been able to enjoy since the snakey fella went off to hand in his coursework! I think the Lovin' Spoonful are right up there with the Monkees. They are named after you-know-what like you-know-who. In "Do You Believe in Magic?" they mention something called "jug band music", an image that haunts my dreams and disturbs my every waking hour. "...his melody lines curled up and purred like so many drowsy cats." I don't think they're as good as all that, but are probably worth investigating, especially seeing as you can buy dirt cheap CDs all over the place. "Summer in the City" was covered recently by Joe Cocker in a pleasant lilting reggae style. There is also a version by my hero, Isaac Hayes. I remember two good songs, "Didn't Want to Have to Do It" and "Darling Be Home Soon". I haven't got them anymore, and I'm not particularly bothered. But they are good. Nik Cohn says they are better than the Byrds, but he's talking out of his arse. I must say I am enjoying this new Top Trumps craze. I'm not very familiar with those helicopters, but I'm more than willing to join in any other discussions. My favourite helicopters were those great big Russian troop transporters. As I recall they weren't very agile, but that double set of rotor blades made up for it. I am now going to lie down in a darkened room and think about jug band music. He should have changed the lyrics round - "it's like trying to tell a stranger about jug band music". Popology Pete, the voice of reason. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Three cards! I got Three cards! Not counting the virtual sinister valentine from old Stuey xxx

He was IMMENSELY shy and asked me if my friends were laughing at him (they weren't, just coming up one by one to gasp at him). Anyway, I concluded he was too young, he's 19, I'm 26 (nearly) and decided to let him go his own way. Now as I see little stickers with his face on all around Islington I kick myself. Oh, I've still not heard his band, but I bet they're teeny sugary pop, but still ace, a bit like Betty Boo. Susannah xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Everything
by Honey 14 Feb '98

14 Feb '98

Just a very quick one so you can get back to your discussions of Dylan/Lucozade and all other things highly B&S related. Thank you to all who sent rude poems etc. for my birthday and cards including precious Oon from Thailand! Sending out mental valentines to you all now (I have a theory about who sent out the real valentine to the list but I'm not telling). For those who want to know, I got a new outfit for my Sindy, 40 pounds worth of vouchers for Boots from my Mad Dad (so that's me in toothpaste for 3 decades), and a trip to Glasgow where I spent an obscene amount of money on 60s French pop. Bet no-one posts today cos you're snogging each other and no-one's told me. Oh yeah - for those of us who have too many CDs, does anyone reckon we could make a CD swap thing work here? It's usually impossible on the Internet as no-one trusts anyone else to exchange via mail, but I reckon we could do it here, if via a central point for safety or something - a WWW record of who's swapping what so we know someone isn't skinning us all when we stick on the stamps. Also, swaps often fail one-to-one but would work with lots of people - three-way swaps etc, credits or something. So - well if anyone has any ideas, mail ME not the list. Must NOT involve cash - can't have anything even vaguely commercial via this list, full stop. Must be very very simple to run. But PLEASE don't start posting swap lists to the list - I will go all grumpy again. Maybe this isn't of interest, or if it is we could just do one-to-one on a WWW page somewhere. Whatever.

Sinister: Happy Birthday to ya
by Keith Watson 14 Feb '98

14 Feb '98

Indeed, I would like to follow on with the birthday greetings to Paul in a far less funny manner than Chris just did... Happy Birthday indeed laddy, have a nice day and night - and I hope it stops being happy bang on 12 midnight tonight (only joking). It's a bit quiet today on the list isn't it? Maybe it's Friday the 13th - actually, it's probably the Friday the 13th Virus! Arse. Mr.Horney - sorry, that was my bit about Rod Stewart - but I can't believe you've never heard the intro to Do you think I'm sexy... You must've lived like Howard Hughes all your life. Anyway, enough of sayiing something when I've really got nothing to say. Cheers, Keith.

Its called Gatorade because I think the coach of the Florida Gators invented it for his players. God this is a boring post, and my first at that. Not much B&S content here is there? kirk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
