Sinister: oh my god...WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
by Michael Ryley 17 Mar '98

17 Mar '98

Hi Listies Well, I'm sorry to say that this message contains no B+S info. at all. But please keep reading anyway. Y'see, I'm coming to London in a week for an indefinite period of time and i was just wondering if anyone could recommend places to go out, people to meet, even areas of the city where queer white trash like me could wander around without getting his head kicked in...oh, and any record stores (except Rough Trade since I've heard of that one)especially 2nd hand....and if there's a picnic or something happening (I've gathered that this is something you kids like to do(?) I'd love to go...the prospect of going over there from sleepy Brisbane (Australia) is a little daunting, but immensely exciting...Personally i can't wait. Please feel free to email me personally as i am quitting the list, since i won't have regular computer access to wade through the mail i get from this and other lists. All replies would be muchly appreciated. Thankyou for yr. time love Michael xx ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Hello all
by Caz 17 Mar '98

17 Mar '98

Hi peeps, Hmmm. I don't know whether I'm new or not... I used to post when the list was first set up, so I suppose a couple of people might remember me. I stopped when people got *too* upset about off-topic stuff, because, I might as well warn you now, I'm very bad at staying on topic. But I kept reading the digests (well, occasionally) and now I'm back because you lot are just too damn interesting not to reply to. Or something. >There has been much discussion about the BMX Bandits in >the recent past (perhaps someone from B&S has some connection?). No-one seems to have mentioned yet (as I said, I'm on the digest - I tend to get a little behind) that Douglas from the BMXs compered the Longest Day festivally thing with B&S, V-twin etc last summer...my bmx bandits knowledge though is limited to a copy of a single...i can't even remember what the single is but it's got That Summer Feeling on it, I think. I quite like it, but not enough to go out and look for any more of their stuff. Rod said: >I saw them at last year's Planet Pop festival (supported >by the incredible Secret Goldfish), Yay! They are great, aren't they? Though I was a bit upset when I discovered that Give him a Great Big Kiss was a cover. Still, its better than the original, so that's ok... but then he said (about the Bluetones): >Saw them live at T in the Park in '96, and your >blokes voice was TERRIBLE. which is a *bad* thing, because it means he wasn't watching the Divine Comedy, which is what he should have been doing at that time. >The Gigolo >aunts were never particularly good, but just straight-forward power pop >youd be likely to hear in the early 90's. For lack of knowing better, >I always thought they were great. They did "Where I Find My Heaven", the theme to Game On (which doesn't stop it being a great tune...), its on Shine something. Shine 2, I think. Just to catch up.. Book Recommendations: Anything by AS Byatt. Verdict on Menswear: Quite good, really. "Stardust" popped up in a pub quiz i was at the other week too.... Porn Star name: Smudge Oliver (er....) thats it... love and stuff caz -- "Do something pretty while you can Don't be afraid" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister: bmx-bandits
by The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal 17 Mar '98

17 Mar '98

I remember a while back the lad from the BMX-Bandits used to be the Scottish reporter-bloke-thingy for Mark Radcliff's graveyard shift show. Ahhh...sweet memories. The show that not only made me laugh out loud and annoy my sisters in the bedroom next door but also introduced me to B&S. I miss it...

Sinister: help! in need of some musical guidance
by TFertig3 17 Mar '98

17 Mar '98

hello, Before joining this list, I knew of few (but good) musical groups. i prided myself in my good musical tastes, and believed that was as good as it got. however, i now realize that there is so much that i haven't heard! all the discussion/comments/etc. on people like nick drake and bands like the trembling blue stars and magnetic fields are just a bit overwhelming for me. i just can't even begin to imagine all the great music that is flowing around nearby that i have not yet heard! i have seen albums by these artists, and i would like to purchase them, but i just don't know which albums are good. basically, i just wanted some idea of what are the best albums by the best music groups. since you all like belle and sebastian, i suppose you must share some of the musical tastes as i do... any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks, tami ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: menswear
by C Browning 17 Mar '98

17 Mar '98

well i managed to let all the stuff about the bmx bandits not get me annoyed. as far as i'm concerned "life goes on" is one of my favourite ever albums and "little hands" is my favourite ever song (not the best mark you - i always think that "northern sky" by nick drake (yes yes i know) was the tippermost of the toppermost) but i didn't rise to it...but mark hester on menswe@r?! daydreamer sounds NOTHING like XTC! at all! dull flat monotonous are not the hallmarks of either colin moulding or andy partridge's songs. i have nothing against menswe@r as a whole but please don't liken them to XTC or i'll cry. blur are the only band who've evr had the guts to admit to being inspired by swindon's finest anyway. and nothing they've done - yet - has matched the works of XTC sorry i'm getting off my hobby horse now. apologies to all... chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
