Sinister: Tigermilk
by D.J. Frazer 02 Feb '98

02 Feb '98

Dear Fellow List Members, I was talking to a friend the other day (nostalgically) about the joys of underage drinking and she said 'I remember drinking Thunderbird, Concorde and Tigermilk...'. When I asked her what this was, she said 'Oh, some awful drink...can't really remember'. Do you think that the LP is named after aforementioned drink...or is this just a cahrayzee coincidence? Makes ya think, dont it? Daniel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

And I had another dream,where we were juste lie together on this beautiful hill of knee deep grass..the grass was so green...like emeralds,you know? Then S.D got this attitude and started complaining about his guitar.....ohhh...damn... ummmm...that's about it, and if you send a letter to Belle and Sebsatian,does it actually get to them,or does some guy sitting in a truck read them and laugh? choco kisses, Genevieve xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Murry Lachlan-Young
by Richard Anderson 02 Feb '98

Hi, I saw this guy live in Durham last year and he was brilliant. If he collaberated with B&S it would be cool. Most of his stuff is quite dark and moody dealing with pain and anger. We however are fluffy little bunnies. The other night i had a Urusei Yatsura dream. Richard Anderson ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: the time has come, the walrus said...
by andybear 02 Feb '98

02 Feb '98

...to talk of many things: um, but first i feel i must apologise to david o'reilly cos i was a bit mean the other week. yeah, what he seemed to be saying (that the band never play live) was just downright wrong - i saw them 7 times last year (yeah, more money than sense) and there were at least 4 gigs that i didn't go to. but, yeah, i shouldn't've made it a personal attack. so, er, sorry. and david, if they do get to play close enough to you for you to go and see them then let me know and i'll pay for your ticket... northy was asking about films that would fit with b&s's music. i think it'd have to be something french and 1960's, the new wave stuff, the cinema verite stuff. a women walking down the middle of a busy road selling 'Cahiers Du Cinema'. or something from the British movement of gritty northern drama of around the same time. 'Saturday Night And Sunday Morning' say, or 'The Leather Boys', anything with Rita Tushingam in it, everyday people. or maybe something a bit more fantastical like 'Billy Liar'. (toryboy has also had the first few moves from the hitch hiker's guide adventure game as his sig for the last couple of weeks now. what's really odd is that i know this without ever having played the game myself...) tigermilk: i guess there are new people who still want copies. there are also lots of people out there who already have copies. can i suggest that if you want a copy or are prepared to tape a copy for someone you send me your address and i'll try and match you up with someone geographically close so the postage costs don't hurt as much. in the past people have posted to the list and offered to tape things for others but i for one daren't do that anymore given the sheer numbers involved. if we get enough people offering tapes then they'll only have to do one copy each so... oh, and can anyone who does this put 'tigermilk: giver' or 'tigermilk: taker' in the subject line please 8) asides: trembling blue stars single was a bit too st etienne for my tastes, yes. should really listen to it more than the twice i have though. friends (hi honeypie!) have told me the new lp is great though. out next monday, the 9th feb. www.maths.monash.edu.au/~rjh/fm even as we speak were great, yes. they moved to england for a year in 92 and did a lot of gigs in london. saw them 8 times in total figuring that if they can come all the way from australia to play for us then i can make the trip from herts to london to support them... the list fanzine thing is a strange idea - why create something like a fanzine when we have a much more immediate form of communication in this list? nathan, gez, i have things to ask you. will see you in the chat room from about 4 and ask you there... lovesick on a sunny afternoon*, sigh. andy (koogydelbbog(a)yahoo.com) *ok, it's only 11:40 something but it's close enough... another voicemail waiting this morning when i got into work this morning, another slice of Her to treasure but now when i log on it warns me that my voicemail is nearly full and that i should delete some of my saved messages. but which to choose? don't they realise that this is like asking me which of my fingers i could do without? == andrew.dean(a)bull.net _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Hi. Dolly parton does a song called "Jolene" that is unbelievable. And Talking Heads have a talking-song on Remain in Light, I forget what it's called. My favorite talking-song, though, is Suicidal Tendencies, "Institutionalized." Does that count? --Ari ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: RE: Some things about Duets, Truth and Inspiration
by John Warrander 02 Feb '98

02 Feb '98

Oops nothing original to say and no B&S content either. Gee what a rotter! Oh well, I'm just going to hang off some of the comments made earlier. Genevieve wrote: > Oh..... Lets get married and have rose petals thrown at us! Genevieve have you any idea how happy Tag will be when he reads this? I know he wanted a bit more excitement but the poor lad may just go weak at the knees and fall over and hurt himself. Actually, I'm already married to him so you can just leave off lady. "Jealous MUCH?" she also added later: > it sounds like we put bombs (forour causes) in all these evil places And hey these bombs won't go BANG they'll go P!O!P! An angry Sarah wrote (Am I talking liberties describing you as angry?): > I'll have you know that after we had the little talk about > names I ALSO got really upset and pissed of, realising that everything > I care about, could just be all an invented lie, untruth, and that again > its something that as much as I like, i'd never be a part off. Perhaps Does it really matter what the TRUTH is anyway? It suits me to believe that Lee Hazlewood lives in a remote log cabin somewhere in Northern Sweden, waited on hand and foot by a bevvy of Scandinavian beauties. Every time I put on a Lee record and listen to that voice, this is the absolute truth of the matter and no intrusion of pedantic fact will sway me from that opinion. As far as pop music is concerned, it's YOUR world and the truth can be whatever YOU want it to be. The Duke had this to say: > there will come a day when people will go into chat rooms and tell > someone like me that belle and sebastian were named after a kids tv > cartoon, and i don't know what i'm talking about because this person > will have all the LPs filed neatly in order, will have all the imports > and his treasured copy of Tigermilk (£1000 quid in the auction, what's > it to you, mate?) safely on display. He'll think he knows it all > because he read it in the music press and a nice journalist told him so. I'm afraid the newer members on this list (myself included) might not get the significance of that "someone like me" bit. It kind of scares me though. Is it relevant that you talk about a "he" here? I used to go into chat rooms and claim I lived in Morrissey's childhood dwelling on the King's Road in Manchester. I was a liar but the kids I talked to thought it was exciting so maybe I was performing a service. I did meet his English teacher Mr Pink once though. He took us into his house and gave us cake. He stood up against the Tories and spoke out against their health cuts. I think it got into The Sun and he was duly sacked from the hospital he worked in. Such a nice man too. I have no idea who wrote this: > My vote goes to "Tippy Toes" and "Bonnie and Clyde" respectively. Gosh the overall taste and decorum on this list is exemplary. Out of all those wonderful bands that were listed in a mail the other day how did the conversation manage to end up on "Even As We Speak"??? I don't care who wrote anything anymore: > Early examples of speak-a-pop "Speak-a-pop". How cool is that? Not cool enough I'm afraid. These chatty little numbers just don't turn me on. I hate "The Gift" (and the whole of "White Light White Heat" for that matter) and I claim my right as a pop kid to slag it to death if the notion takes me. Speaking of pop kids. Now we're all versed with the ins and outs of Northern Soul - thanks B&S list info service - I think we should be told. Just what is a "cutie"? McTaggart the mouth had this to say: > >Has a Northern Soul night started at the Star & Garter ? Is it still on > >and is it any good ? Just noticed it on a poster somewhere the other day > >and it got me thinking..... > > I don't know - tell me if you find out. That wasn't a question that was inspirational, mate. After all your bleating if you haven't started a Northern Soul club by July there'll be trouble to pay! And on a Nancy & Lee note: Has anybody got or heard the "Jacques and his Jacquettes" record by Jacques Dutronc and Francoise Hardy? I'm convinced it MUST be the Nancy and Lee of the French speaking world. Anyway... > Big favourites are 'Some velvet morning' and 'Je t'aime'. The Primitives did a cracking version of "Some Velvet Morning" live in a cave somewhere in South London once (well a few times I suspect) and it made it even more criminal when they split and I never got to see them do it again. Well it makes me sad. This is Australia and the next B&S video spotted on Rage will be duly noted and reported here. You can rely on that.

Stuart doll!
