He put out some very good music at a young age and threw away all critical acclaim to climb on board the disco/power ballad wagon somewhere in the late seventies. I agree that "maggie may" and "you wear it well" are good songs, but he sure has put out a lot of dreck the last twenty years. i feel better now. clem lane nrbqlover(a)aol.com n.p. velodrome 2000-bobby gillespie is a virgin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Kojak videos wanted
by Keith Watson 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Calling all B+S fans. I'm currently looking for an entire set of videos of the loveable "Bell-end headed" 70's cop star Kojak. If anyone would kindly send me the entire set (nothing less will do), I'll consent to giving them at most 10 minutes of time to talk to me on the phone. That is of course, as long as you phone me... Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: What is Tigermilk?
by Huw Jenkins 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Hello all, What is Tigermilk? I hear you all mentioning it all the time and I can hear you all scroning me for not knowing - "What is Tigermilk!, How dare he associate himself with Belle & Sebastian without knowing ". I am, however, fairly new on the B&S scene and all I have heard so far is "If your'e feeling sinister" and I know nothing. So plase don't turn your back on me for this and remember no one was born with the knowledge. Any other recommendations would also be apreciated. tata, Huw

It's a record. B+S recorded their first album in the middle of 1996, it's great, but they only made 1000 of them cause it was released on Alan Rankine's little label that's set up for Stow College in Glasgow (at least - that's the way I understand it). Currently B+S have the following releases : Tigermilk (record only) (pretty much impossible to get a hold of an original now) If you're feeling Sinister (CD, Cassette, Record) Dog on Wheels EP Lazy Line Painter Jane EP 3, 6, 9 Seconds of Light EP Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: High Fidelity
by MATTHEW M STEAD 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

High Fidelity is the best book I've read in ages. It's scary how true to life it is. If nothing else it'll teach you never to end up like Rob Flemming. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Chris' Bucket
by Ruth McCurry 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Am I blind? We were a yard away from Chris during the matinee show (my girlfriend insists - she is madly in love) and saw nothing untoward...he did look a bit pasty, though. Did anyone see Nick Hornby's essay on LLPJ on some American website a while back? Very good, a kind of state of the nation thing. By the way, if any of you are Hornby fans, bad news: the new novel's crap! It'll be a lovely film, though. B&S moment: Stuart D's offstage antics during YMMFMD in Barcelona. Such a child! Lots of love, DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: URGENT Columbo-B&S-bassist-non-sock-Mathis request
by Honey 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

This is the weirdest email Paul has sent... Want a night out with Stuart David (sort of)? Have access to acres of 70s US cop videos? Stuart is DESPERATELY looking for videos of "Columbo" for a spoken word gig he is doing in Glasgow very very soon - he needs a video within the next 2-3 days. This is NOT a B&S sock-related dream. Or a list manager pisstake. He wants the stuff at the end where Columbo croaks his denouement of the devillish misdemeanour. Videos of Wings of Desire will sadly not do, which I bet you arty lot have by the truckload. He's promised that if anyone can come up with the goods they will get an hour's free chat with him on IRC - if I were you I'd worry what WWW sites he will take you to. If anyone has one, or indeed the whole Columbo collection could they email ME as fast as their little legs can carry them? I guess it'll probably have to be UK because quite seriously he needs them pronto. Honestly I am not taking the mickey. Unless he is. Oh, and while we're at it, this is a World Appeal for a karaoke tape of "When A Child Is Born" by our favourite Johnny. Chris Leonard is too shy to ask, but really he needs one so that he can embarrass his family on UK TV all the way back to the Shelleys.

Sinister: Bands Of Old
by Richard Anderson 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

Hi, I still have Cd's by Hootie, Crash Test Dummies and Rembrandts and vynils by Bucks Fizz and Shaking Stevens. They helped make my musical tastes what they are today. Currently in my room at uni we are having a Jason Donovan revival, does anybody else feel this way inclined? Thank you for not disgusting the wildlife.

R: Sinister: books
by Francesco A. 11 Feb '98

11 Feb '98

---------- > Da: Farty the Warthog <rod(a)begbie.com> > And I don't want to appear like a "lad", but Kate Winslet has got > incredible breasts -- even the girls in our group agreed on that one. > Rod. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I can't understand!!! Why, in heaven, it's wrong to appreciate beautiful, incredible breasts like K.Winslet's? Is it possible that if someone says that he likes girl with big breasts (or big bottoms) or something like that, he must apologize and is froghtened to appear like a "Lad"? I think that it's a typical english-american issue! Here in Italy (as well as in other "mediterranean" countries) if you like a woman's body it's really normal and you aren't afraid to say it. Probably it's the fact that "POLITICALLY-CORRECT" IS THE MOST ABUSED ENGLISH PHRASE? I don't know, but, in my "humble" opinion,,it would be really strange if people weren't attracted from the main aspects of the body of the opposite sex (or even the same one, as long as you like it). Breasts, bottoms, eyes and legs, muscles and so on were made by nature to please and attract other people!!! Isn't it POLITICALLY CORRECT? Sorry, but I had to say it! Love, Francesco. "...and when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me...." S.P.M. P.S. I DO agree!!! Kate Winslet is simply fantastic and a really good actress (seen her in "HAMLET"?), and I'm saying it not oly for her breasts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
