Sinister: slooooow country
by Yummycats 16 Mar '98

16 Mar '98

(I would have emailed this privately, but i've lost the letter) To the person who was looking for some slow country music: Terri Binion is an option, and she's playing at the Bottom Line in NYC. I've attached a show preview below, from an article by a friend of mine for the upcoming issue of 'Time Out NY.' You might also want to try Tarnation for something a little bit less mature and more Kitty Wells. Incidentally, The Nashville independent record store owned by the wife of the guy from Lambchop just went out of business last month. It also doubled as a club. She never carried any Belle and Sebastian, so it's just as well. <g> Rumor had it that she wasn't much into music anyway! ----------------- "Terri Binion/Bottom Line; Thursday, March 26 According to recent trend articles, hipsters can now guiltlessly enjoy Americana/roots music through its resurgence as Alterna-Country and other such nouveau genres that repackage the same sounds in snarling lyrics. It�s hard to say whether Florida-based Terri Binion would be enraged or amused by this information. Nearing 40, Binion has been kicking up her beautiful dust bowl dramas live for 20 years. Think of the feathery and unabashedly pretty vocals of Alison Krauss joined with the winking road-weary charm of Nanci Griffith. Binion�s recent 9-song debut CD Leavin� This Town (Daemon) is more country- flavored than folky, but the songwriter�s thoughtful tales of wee-hour wheel clutching and pickup truck Romeos will likely entice fans of both. Filled with a pervading melancholy, the release was produced by drummer Liberty DeVitto of Billy Joel band notoriety. Binion�s quaint acoustics are lightly accented by accordion, pedal steel, and mandolin, leaving chuckle-worthy musings such as, "I did a little rain dance in the hopes of true romance," on the pure country of "Abilene" to work their simple elegance unencumbered. If you are predisposed toward this type of stuff Binion will turn you into a silly mess; if you aren�t, it may remedy your obstinacy. Since Binion�s power is in her drawling, honest prose, Bottom Line should provide the perfect acoustic backdrop for her CD�s unadorned tales�that is unless that small-but-ubiquitous beer crowd arrives to swill in its usual blaring manner.�Karen Iris Tucker ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Stereolab
by Mark Hester 16 Mar '98

16 Mar '98

..but the song does have a Stereolab-ish title! I thinnk that anyone who could come up with the idea of an international colouring contest has to be acknowledged as a genius. It is so weird. I tend to go through stages of playing an album over and over then doing the same to the next rather than listening to a hotch potch. After many listens to IYFS I then moved on to Stereolab's Mars Audiac Quintet and now it is Big Star (as you may have guessed from previous messages!)

Sinister: sunday,monday we lie in bed but it's not easy
by blink＠inexpress.net 15 Mar '98

Dear sweet ones, I just adore the feeling of falling in love with something for a second time... there is a mountainous pile of junk in my room that is to be cleaned (or more truthfully my ROOM is a mountanious pile of junk) and i have this very important orale to be doing (due tomorrow,naturally)....but i just can't bring myself to working right now... (hee..hee,I remember on those 'weakness and strengths' letters we used to have to write in english,i would always write 'i will stop procrastinating' for how to improve my weaknesses..and the teacher, she always wrote the same thing 'stop hiding behind your hair!' oh well....here i am still procrastinating (and the hair still messy) It is cold and I've been alone all day but right now the sky is such a beautiful lavender colour and I'm listening to this lovely Geneva song 'Riverwatching' "thinking of a beautiful boy,eyes reflecting in the moonlight the river is so clam staying with him throught the night" oh how truuuue! I just CAN'T work..! Oh...'asda town' is on now!!!making me fall in love with Brett Anderson and his voice all over again..you know 'the wild ones' video is so beautiful it makes me cry?! Pathetic! (And I usually don't cry at tv,last time was the lion king....) oh phhooey on all that independant woman stuff.. men are beautiful and wonderful and i love them... And this lovely purple sky moment would be all the lovlier with someone... something is bothering me,Stuart Murdoch and his nimble fingers! How can he play so well..i try..oh i try!actually..good moment,i was playing 'dog on wheels' and my dad actually asked me what i was playing..and then he said it wasn't bad...may sound like nothing much..but this is a compliment from my father instead of 'turn that brain-rotting poison off!' etc etc...how wonderful it would be to be really good and to play to people all round the world.. *sigh* frozen (it's damn cold in here) kisses, xoxoGenevieve "..the moment is long gone but i can still see your face to think about you it hurts and i know i have to say take me away from here,take me away from you i'm still in love with you what do you expect me to do?..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: anyone for T?
by plaird 15 Mar '98

15 Mar '98

I suppose this is aimed at Katrina: Have B&S been asked to play T in the Park, or have they any thoughts on the subject? I know it would be unlikely (since they play rarely and pick strange venues) but what with it being in Scotland it would make a brilliant summer if it happened - or alternatively be a complete embarassing shambles. or are they only going to play when they release something and stick to their rather unusual choice of venues?. Mind you now that I'm thinking about it, B&S would probably never do the festival thang - it just doesn't match up with their track history to date (or my perception of the band). So no 'T' is a probability. Byee, The Laird of East Fountainbridge "An Egg is good for you" - THE EGG Marketing Board ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Urusei Yatsura ticket
by Rod Begbie 15 Mar '98

15 Mar '98

Due to the fact that most of my indie-kid chums have got exams this week, I have a spare ticket for the NME freebie Urusei Yatsura gig at the Virgin Megastore in Edinburgh on Wednesday night. If anyone fancies coming along and seeing Glasgow's finest lo-fi rockers perform in an atmosphere-free[1] environment, give me an e-mail. Rod. [1] At least, I don't /think/ they have any Russ Abbott CDs...

Sinister: The strangest book ever!!
by mike longaphie 15 Mar '98

15 Mar '98

It would have to be(in my superior opinion) "Foe" by J.M. Coetzee. Just a crazy, crazy book about, well, tons of things. And for regular reading basically anything by Salinger and Nancy Mitford(specifically the trio that are inter-related). The worst: Maybe "A Glass of Blessings" by Barbara Pym. An "unsuitable", depressing kind of book. mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Brazilian B&S fans , unite/Sultraness of Swing.
by horst＠aptness.com.br 15 Mar '98

15 Mar '98

Hi there, brasileiros in the B&S list. What would be the special reason for finding so many of our ilk in the list ? Actually, how many are we ? Well, never mind, we came in peace. Get in touch. I'll be around, watching from afar. Find me. Are you still there ? Haven't trashed many e-mails from you these last days. Well, peace also to the Sultraness of Swing, the one who knows the guys that rule. Coltrane must be on your list as well, I suppose. Who else ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
