Re: Sinister: Ramble with 22 percent B and S content

>Which leads me to B and S. I must have seen five or six hundred bands over >the last fifteen years, but nothing remotely comparable to our hero/ines. >How can this be explained? Are there any other people on the list around >the age of 30 who feel the same? Jon.g and bethey are only fifteen: do you >understand quite how unique this band are? Even though they shamble around >on stage like a bunch of fools, the end result astonishes me every time. I do know exactly what you mean, I've had pretty much the same experience as you except with the Stone Roses rather than the Smiths, being five years younger than you, but again none of them match Belle and Sebastian, no other band would drag me further than a train journey to Glasgow to go and see them and I went to Manchester and was all ready to go to London last year too. Lots of stuff about it is different, it's more like going to actually listen to some music rather than be thrown around in a massive mob and "hear" music being played at 150 dBs which it's basically impossible to hear. It's also like a preview of a load of new songs too cause they always play stuff you haven't heard yet which I like. Plus they do them in different sorts of places - which is kind of like what the Roses did (at least, when they ruled), which makes you feel that it's a bit more special. Pity the Kelvingrove park do didn't come off, I think that would've been great fun. I hope they should attempt some sort of outdoor thingy again sometime.

Sinister: The High
by Keith Watson 25 Mar '98

25 Mar '98

>> > got a question. Does anybody know if The High, The La's, > >don't know about The High, Funny you should mention about the high... Tag and myself found a "Best of the High" album kicking about in HMV in Edinburgh which we thought was pretty funny - given that they only had one album in the first place... (at least as far as I'm aware of) I don't know whether or not this best of affair just had the album tracks kind of rearranged on it or what. Box Set Go was a nice single though, pity the band were crap. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Exeter Airport Access Improvement

I wrote some nonsense about a cat with chuffing great sidies who stole post-office vans and licked pavements and stuff. Katrina told me orf in her corporate *haven't got time for this bollocks again* manner. >Nick wrote : >God I'm boring. Oh and.... >So my point is I don't think we shouldn't always tell people off for >not looking in the archives just because something has come up before >it can be hard to find things. Here here.... Nick I want your babies.... For medical experiments. >Honeygrrrrrrrrrrrr wrote : >PLEASE READ: FAQ NO. Not because I'm an obstinate barst, but because as I told Katrina, I no longer have my internet privelages, because some twat of a Senior Local Govt Officer up north somewhere decided he wanted to look at cheerleaders with things up there arses or something equally tasteful. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. >Subversive Silver-tongued Sarah Student Starryone wrote : >i am confused by buses and paints and i can't get to exeter to see the >jasmine minks which is a shame as i very much like the tape of theirs that i >have, oh well nevermind. I'm going to see Cujo!!! ra! A bus is a form of public transport with wheels and things often painted red or other such colours like white or green. Contrary to popular belief some buses have big signs on the front that say "EXETER". Exeter has many buses. In one of your many moments of drunkardness, you might go out on a limb and offer the man who sits at the front of the bus (sometimes called a driver) copious amounts of Sterling so that he might take you to the aforementioned destination. Once there head for Queen Street, and the Cavern Club and meet lots of really nice (but mostly sarcastic) bumpkins..Oh, and Alistair seeing as he's organising it !!!! Alternatively hitch aride on the back of a tractor, it's sure to be coming down here somewhere. I'M GOING NOW !! Just in case I've included about sixteen previously asked questions in here somewhere. ooooooooooaarrrrrrrrrr, give us a pint of cider.

Sinister: the radio song
by jon g. 25 Mar '98

I keep getting emails asking me to email Wrong Love to people, so just to reinforce it: Here's what you have to do: 1 - Open The RealPlayer (Version 5 or above, available from http://www.real.com) 2 - Click 'File -> Open Location...' (It may be different on a non-pc version) 3 - The file you want is http://www.btinternet.com/~jon.g/wronglove.ra 4 - It should work If it doesn't, just download it normally through your browser and play it off your hard disk. If anyone has email only access to the net through their work, then email me again. I keep worrying over whether i have broken the new faq rules! Anyway, paul - I think the new faq is good, it says what you need to say well and it is not too boring to read. thanks jon g. jon.g(a)btinternet.com - http://www.btinternet.com/~jon.g/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Jesus and the dream of Rockets
by Chris Leonard 25 Mar '98

25 Mar '98

Hey Rocketeers, B&S Fun ======= Amanda the Swan came to Scotland for the weekend. It was dead smart, we went to Edinburgh and she was excited cos she's never seen Marks And Spencers before. So I said "why don't we go in and turn some tables around". And she said "ok". So we went in but couldnae find any tables. There were some chairs but they had people on them. So instead Amanda turned a necklace around, and I turned around a hat and a bottle of perfume. Hehe. Then we went to C&A and then I was getting quite into all this and wanted to go to Boots to get a free book on VD but she'd been in Boots before so we didn't. Nonsense ======== Eeek! The Turin Shroud is not a fake it is real, say some scientists and my pal Craig. Apparently they got some Jesus DNA from it, and they're going to clone Jesus! Bad move if you ask me. Fundamental law of Sci-fi, any cloned messiah will be evil. We're all for it! He'll melt our faces like in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Hold on, if they cloned Jesus, that would be like a birth without a mother, sort of virgin birth again. Oh shite, I'm scared. If Saddam doesn't get me with his anthrax spunk laced Marlboro 100's, evil Jesus will choke me with his forked fire tongue. Ooops sorry Honey that's the outside world. But Jesus is within everyone of us. Silver and Gold have I none. But even if I did, I wouldn't pay 200 pounds for a record unless it came with a free child. Here, all you pretty young things don't read this next bit, it's rude. It's certificate 18. I went to a public toilet the other day. I was standing at the urinal taking care of the matter in hand, and two urinals along there was an old jakey bloke taking care of his matter in hand. In fact he was masturbating at the urinal. Well I never! Why do these things always happen to me? Call the cops! Why do I keep telling people this? See what you bastards have done to Northy! Good work, The hard-core, plain oral-sex nerd.

Sinister: once in a lifetime..
by Johnston, John CT 25 Mar '98

25 Mar '98

That's a subject sure to get you Runrig fans perking up...sorry, false alarm David Leloup wrote about the Fox in the Snow >it only happens once a year >it only happens once a lifetime >making most of it To me this has always made me think of winters in Oxford when I was a kid where there was only ever one snowy day a year. I was 8 when we moved there having been living in Ottawa, Canada for the last four years where frankly shortage of snow was never a problem. I found that I really missed the snow in winter and when that one snow day came it would be magical. I would tear around the house shouting "it's snowing" "it's snowing" and then put on my coat to rush outside and make the most of it. I can still remember the horror of being in the dentist's waiting room and seeing the first big flakes of snow fall and thinking "I'm going to miss the snow because of the dentist!!!" Of course winter in Glasgow is quite a different kettle of ballgames but that's what those lines have always meant to me.

by David Leloup 25 Mar '98

25 Mar '98

(I sent this message two weeks ago but in HTML/RTF format so i repost ) Hi everybody I'm new to this list and just want to introduce myself to all list members My name is david and i'm from France. My fave bands/artists are 'The Posies', Teenage Fanclub, Neil Young, Nick Drake (I'm lististening to Radiohead, supergrass, cardigans and some Trip Hop stuff too) What a big surprise when i first listen to 'when ... sinister' The voice is so sensitive, it seems so close to you The guitar and other instrument are so fine It makes me almost cry ... My first question : Can someone tell me what the song 'fox in the snow' is about specially the last sentences : it only happens once a year it only happens once a lifetime making most of it (I love this song) Hoping Belle and Sebastian will becoming famous in France and anywhere else .. David
