Sinister: Who's who
by Ruth McCurry 20 Mar '98

20 Mar '98

In response to Pedro's question about band members: Stuart M: words, singing (mostly), guitars, other little things Stevie: guitars, occasional voice (but so lovely!), remembering lyrics. Did Stevie write Seymour Stein? Chris: keyboards, piano, organs, buckets Isobel: cello, bass (rare), vocals (timid) Stuart D: bass, funk, jazz, spoken word stuff Sarah: violin, little blowy things, tambourines, heartstrings Richard: drums and geniality Mick: trumpets and horn All of the band are quite beautiful to look at, and regularly perform as models in catwalk shows in Milan. Hope that's helpful DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Who's who in B&S ?
by Pedro Rodrigues 20 Mar '98

20 Mar '98

Hi list, this is my first mail to the list; I've been reading it for a week now and I'm thinking with a little luck I could actually learn anything about B&S here... Sorry to bother you all with such factual, non-nostalgic, direct questions, :-)) but... can anyone tell me who plays what in B&S, and who writes the tunes, and who's the poet behind the lyrics?... I was looking at the script from the B&S Chat and I suppose it should make some more sense if I could connect the names to... something. TIA, Pedro ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Do you know that feeling you get when you walk into a room and forget why you went there in the first place?

Sinister: Fish & Large Pies
by Dan Smith 20 Mar '98

20 Mar '98

sorry this has no B&S content but could anyone tell me if Mr Scruff has released anything other than chipmunk/fish on ninja tunes and large pies on cup of tea records as they are a couple of the bestest tunes I've ever heard for a while?. Bad Records: ziontrain aphex twin - i only got it for the one in the "orange telecom" advert honest! army of lovers rage against the machine (I was young okay?) Good Books: "The Cat in the Hat" by Dr Seuss oh and "green eggs and ham" I thought Microserfs was a good read but didn't like shampoo planet also 253 by geoff ryman which is also on the net @ http://www.ryman-novel.com It's good I reckon to dip into occasionally I also wondered what are lists views on mp3's? A useful way of sharing music or blatant piracy which should be stamped out as soon as possible? I am involved in a project which involves using an mp3 player for a car stereo so I would be intrested to hear your views. the spod ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Junk
by Ruth McCurry 20 Mar '98

20 Mar '98

A few random thoughts: Good to see Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead cropping up on a reading list. That and Atlas Shrugged are truly two of the most monumental books ever written. It always amazes me that they're so little known over here in the UK. The phrase The American Belle and Sebastian keeps appearing. I don't think such a concept is possible. I mean, I worship the USA in all her glory n' all, but nothing so special could ever come out of there. I too saw Acetone when they played with the Verve and Oasis, at the Riverside in Newcastle. They were totally mediocre. I chose to talk to a balding friend called Kevin instead of listen to the fledgling Gallagher's. The Verve blew the power out half way through their set, which was fun. I did manage to see the Oasis gig at the Riverside the following year, when they started beating the crap out of an audience member who'd had the audacity to punch Noel. Apart from the grotesque violence involved, it was an incredible concert. All 5 songs of it. Debbie's point about American Psycho is spot on. It's the foulest, most unpleasant, sordid piece of shit I've ever read and should not be taken lightly. I started reading it in Spain last autumn and it almost ruined my holiday, it was so gross. Is it politically incorrect to be sensitive like that? Lullaby for the Working Class are OK. I got their recent CD, but haven't listened to it a great deal. It's just not that compelling. Hopkirk and Lee, on the other hand, are growing on me every day. Those four songs are just wonderful. I urge all of you to get hold of a copy. Believe me, it really is gorgeous. My favourite 10 songs of all time, just for the sake of it: Rock and Roll Friend - Go Betweens The Last Kiss - J Frank Wilson Gone til November - Wyclef Sowing Seeds - JAMC Perfume - Paris Angels Mr Tambourine Man - The Byrds Nobody Loves Us - Morrissey Rain - Martin Stephenson and the Daintees Modern Rock Song - BandS She's A Real Good Time - East River Pipe Have a lovely weekend, Keegan for Chairman DAVID ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Fox in the Spring
by ELIZABETH DAPLYN 20 Mar '98

20 Mar '98

Speak gently, Spring, and make no sudden sound, For in my windy valley yesterday I found New born foxes squirming on the ground - Speak gently. Walk softly, March, forbear the bitter blow. Her feet within a trap, but blood upon the snow, The four little foxes saw their mother go - Walk softly. Go lightly, Spring, oh give them no alarm; As I covered them with boughs to shelter them from harm, The thin blue foxes suckled at my arm - Go lightly. Step softly, March, with your rampant hurricane; Nuzzling one another and whimpering with pain, The new little foxes are shivering in the rain - Step softly.

Sinister: Bookly Question
by Paige Rosella 20 Mar '98

20 Mar '98

Just wondering if anyone out there has read the new Ted Hughes poetry collection, Birthday Letters? I want to read it (because didn't we *all* have that only-Sylvia-understands-my-pain phase?), but I'm not sure if I want to shell out the $20 or so dollars to buy it. As for Douglas Coupland, I have loved every one of his books except the Deadhead one. I recently reread Microserfs, and cried at the ending all over again. That it made me cry ranks it right up there with The Incredible Journey and The Velveteen Rabbit - but no animals die or are in peril in Microserfs.
