Were the Man from Delmonte not that band from Manc who got their ASSES sued by all and sundry when their debut album contained rather accurate information about whom the songs were about? Listening to the new record by Mark Hollis (formerly of Talk Talk as it says plastered in some fuckoff big sticker across the front) and it's brilliant.

Sinister: All hail the mighty Aqua !
by Adam Robinson 05 Feb '98

05 Feb '98

I've just read the interview with Europopsters Aqua in the NME this week and I was so filled with admiration that I felt I had to write. One of the band is quoted as saying: "I'm really sorry that we made a record that millions of people like, and that we didn't wear boring clothes and we didn't play guitars and sing about what boring lives we have !" Yeaay ! What a top manifesto and a refreshing alternative to the complaint rock hegemony that clouds the pop horizon these days. "B&S content ?" I hear the exasperated mutters. Well, throughout the interview what comes across is an utter disdain for the empty cliches of rock orthodoxy and an ambivalence to critical opinion of their work. Does this remind you of anyone ? B&S and Aqua, kindred spirits, who'da thought it ! Altogether now, "C'mon, Barbie, let's go party ! Ah, ah, ah, yeah !" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>BUT, I need an answer to something: at one point in the article, ol' Jenny claimed >that Monica Queen is actually Isobel singing under an assumed name. But I thought >I had read on this list that Monica Queen is an entirely different person from Isobel >altogether, and that she's in other bands. So if anyone feels like responding to this >oft-asked question, ooh, that'd be appreciated. EH? I don't know who dreamt this one up, but I've saw Monica and Isobel on stage at the same time, most definitely different people!! Although both are extremely attractive, my heart belongs to Bel. > I saw the video for LPG on it just before the Manchester gigs. >Haven't watched it since, but maybe they play them quite often. LPG???? Did I type that? I of course ment LLPJ. JohnS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

That'll be me. ohh christ 6 years ago now when i played with glasgow dafties "Saint". we practiced at the same studios and the same time and i heard the sweet voice which i followed to find her all lovely and singing to herself. <sighs> god bless every one of us.. Alex Romanelli sang in a wobbly voice: > but after watching The Man Who Fell To Earth last night I guess I'd > currently plump for Low-era Bowie. If only for the wonderful hair: > deeply dyed orange with blonde bits at the front. Oh what a fine film. I fancy him in that. Makes me want to get a gun and a girlfriend so that i can shoot some blanks. Low era B&S? hmm my personal favourite - but "Labyrinth" is definitely his finest work. Genevieve said in a dreamy voice: > poetry n' stuff:I like Thomas...I love W.B Yeats...Shelley... no one will believe this. My mum says that Percy Byshee Shelley is my great, great, great, great, great grandad which may or may not be true. If it's not don't tell me, that thought alone can get me through a day in prison. I have inherited none of g.g.g.g.g.grandad shelleys talent, but i do walk with a stoop. Honey mr loverman spunked: > Some random stuff. Stuart David tells me that Slow Graffiti, which I > can never spell is appearing in a soundtrack to the file "The Acid > House". Great song - should be a single. Said humbly and not > looking for a fight cos I'll hide behind Laurel if you try it. Couldn't agree more with you, my splendid man. The first couple of lines are lovely lovely. I think we know what snakey fellow we should thank for that. Ok dokay now i work. yours in Jesus, Christopher A. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

> Do Beat Happening still exist? According to a recent interview with Calvin Johnson in the Onion (which can be found somewhere on the internet), the singer/guitar player, Beat Happening never really broke up, they just got so involved in other projects that they stopped their work together. He said he didn't see them getting back together anytime soon, but wouldn't say never. He is still running K records, and leads the group Dub NArcotic, which came through town (Denver) to play in a warehouse in the fall. I think his voice would really be interesting doing a B&S cover, Track and Field, maybe? Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Fw: Sinister: B&S in The South

> Contrary to this letter, there are plenty of B&S fans in The South that I know (North > Carolina). I see the same here in cheery Denver. > You should be able to order most of the EP's from your average indie record shop. I > found all three with minimal effort in Chapel Hill. Although when I bought them, > they had three copies of each, and now there's only one each of DOW and LLPJ. So > I'm obviously not the only one here. When I bought "Sinister", the guy at th local CD shop said that it was one of his biggest sellers that week. I got all the recent EP's, and they re-stocked quickly. A show here would be well received, even before I starting converting. vocal newbie Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
