Sinister: Video-wideo
by Johnston, John CT 10 Feb '98

10 Feb '98

There was a bit of talk about Enhanced-CDs and how our heros should go in for something like that. I quite agree. The last Wu-Tang Clan album was an enhanced whatchamacallit. It featured a tour of the "Wu - Mansion" or palace or something where you could meet the various, erm, Clansmen (as it were) and enjoy their rather delphic utterances. I reckon the new B&S album should feature something like that - a virtual tour of the "Seb-Church Hall" (...'Meet Stuart preparing some Orange Squash in the kitchen') or better still the "Belle-playground". Our heros could be found on their favourite playground ride. Sarah on the swings, Isobel and Richard on the see-saw (that's teeter-totter for our N.Am friends), Stevie on the wibbly-wobbly horse thing. And so on... Books - Captain Correlli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres is wonderfull. I laughed, I cried - oh how I cried. On the 7.30 train to Bedford, there I was in my suit, in the heart of commuter land and I was crying my heart out for the greatest story of doomed/unrequited love I'd ever read - a soldier and the man he adores. I read books i like over and over again but I don't think I could ever read Capt Correlli again and put myself through the emotional mangle once more. But I'm a richer person for going through it once - and it's not all sad. xxx Johnston, John "Crazy Trousers" so now you know... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Obituary: Falco 19## - 1998
by MRissb7989＠aol.com 10 Feb '98

10 Feb '98

Risso writes.... Hmmm, not much of one as I don't know when he was born or anything, but the sad news is that legendary eighties Austrian superstar Falco died in a car crash today...and I thought his death merited a comment or two. I was a bit of a fan in the eighties when I was but a bairn (OK 14 and old enough to know better), and have FOUR albums (hands up who didn't know there were that many), ..oh and a few singles and 12"s. So I was sad, sue me. OK it all seems lame as cheese as now, but I tend to associate all music, good and bad, with the things that were happening in my life at the time, and Vienna Calling (the follow up to Rock Me Amadeus, no.1 for years) which got to no. 10 itself, and which Sam Fox reviewed in Smash Hits, reminds me of a a balmy summer's night in Amiens in Northern France on a school trip, when I was ripped off my tits on Stella for the first time and snogged a French lass called erm, well I forget but anyway that's not important. What I mean is that that song still brings back wonderful memories and as such at the moment I wouldn't trade it in for anything. So this isn't exactly "Candle in the Wind" but well, it's 1 in the morning and the best I could do under such extreme shock.... Albums I own: Junge Roemer Falco 3 (An absolute classic, stuff yer Tigermilks) Emotional Wiener Blut Singles and 12"s Rock Me Amadeus Vienna Calling Jeannie Emotional Body Next to Body Der Kommisar Oh yes indeed!! Send tapes to.....!! Risso PS. Does this count as "Doing a Northy?" or is it more of a "Steaming pile of Begbie?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hello people. I got back from France at 11:00 last Friday night, having had nish sleep the whole week. Looking at Picassos when you've got a furry tingue is not a pleasant experience, believe you me, amigos. Don't drink tequila. Anyhoo, I had a fab time dans Paris, especially at the new Arman exhibition at the Jeu de Paume in the Jardins Tuileries. Oo-er, I've gone all art-name-dropping suddenly... Anyway, despite the bacchanalian revels during the week, I got up on Saturday, went to Music Centre in the morning (aargh! I've forgotten how to play the flute!), and stayed up to go see John Hegley in the evening in Cantebury. He was absoloutment fantastique, despite having forgotten he had a gig that evening and turning up an hour or so late. He forgot his slides, too, and had to draw on the stage with chalk. So, I've just read through a massive load of mail (thank Someone for the digest version) and am now ready to begin my assault on a startlingly witty reply to all points of relevance from the aforesaid. Tindersticks: Cherry Blossoms is a beautiful, beautiful song, and not understanding what in the name of little baby prawns Ol' Gravel Voice is going on about doesn't stop me singing it incessantly (an octave higher than he does) for a while after I've been listening to it. Three am, six feet down, already up with the lark...WHAT?!?!? Song For Those Not So Beautiful is gorgeous too. Has anyone else got the limited-edition Live at the Bloomsbury Theatre album? This is one of the (very) few lim-ed things I own, as I'm a high-street kinda girl: no indie-kid shops around Medway. We have our own equivalent of Casuals who look at me strangely as I wander around Chatham in hippy skirts and wierd t-shirts, not realising that their horrible puffa jackets and gold jewellery make them look like Michelin Men on the game. B&S cover versions: I dunno, I think it'd work quite well with Tanya Donelly doing the girly bit in Lazy Line Painter Jane, but I'm not sure who else would fit in for the rest of it. She did that guest bit on Judy's Staring At The Sun by Catherine Wheel ages ago, but which I was chuffed to find as one of the b-sides on Delicious a wee while back. Well, I liked it... Also: whoever said Stephen Duffy should do any B&S cover - I LOVE YOU! How amazingly right would that be? I'm now going to thank the marvellous people who have sent me wonderful tapes of wonderful stuff by wonderful bands in return for Tigermilk (so I should first thank myself [and my stereo] for proselytising B&S back catalogue around the globe). Thank you all for Pavement, Orange Juice, Guided By Voices, Field Mice, Fantastic Something, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, other really ace stuff... I am now slightly less ingnorant than I was before, and this can only be a good thing, I feel. I'm also really chuffed 'cause I got the Beth Orton album the other day and have been listening to it muchly. I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine is just heartbreaking. I'm always getting that funny achy-sinuses-about-to-cry feeling now when I listen to all this beautiful music. Can I join the eec club? "i thank heaven someone's crazy enough to give me a daisy" Sorry, can't remember the formatting or even if those are exactly the right words at the moment, but it's from the end of the one about the clown on the corner of the street. Anyone like T.S.Eliot? QuoteQuoteQuote: <<Yes, it was lovely to see such beautifully structured arguments that in no way made Belle & Sebastian 'fans' look like the satchel-carrying, scarf-wearing, bicycle-riding knee-jerk-offs that the 'meeja' (whoever they may be) will no doubt condemn us/you/ whoever as...>> I like my satchel. And my scarf. This is all I have to say on the matter. Blah blah blah. En el asunto of B&S videos, didn't anyone else see the couple of times they showed LLPJ on the Chart Show, and the time they had DOW on? I did, because I still watch the pile of filth in case something good comes on (once in a very blue lunar cycle). However, I didn't tape it because (a) I didn't have a tape handy, (b) because it's really annoying having things taped off the Chart Show, because of those faux-video-instruction icon thingies and (c) they never show the whole video anyway, and I can't stand the stress of shouting at the bastard programmers all my life. So there. I think that was about the longest email I've ever written, and I apologise profusely to anyone I may have offended, alienated, bored etc. Ho hum. ByeBye. Au revoir, Liz.
