Thank you John, I'm really touched by the words you said. I wish we had some guys like you here in Brazil and I wish we had more people that understand what B&S are trying to say (they're really saying something, believe me).

Sinister: Monica Queen/Thrum

I know I'm late in replying to this one, but I've been away for the past week..up in Edinburgh, and what a fine city it is! I had to sign off the digest before leaving, and this was one of the last ones I got, so i missed any replies if there were any....

I know they've had a >mixed press on this list in the past, but in my opinion are/were one of the >best bands around, her singing with a big guitar/bass/drums line-up in a >crazyhorse style. When I first heard LLPJ I knew that voice was familiar, but couldn't think where from. Initially she reminded me of...(and don't chastise me for this because she's a lot better than some people may be aware of..in fact I think she's an angel)....Maria McKee.....There, I've said it now....Now I hear that Monica is in fact the singer for Thrum, and I have seen this band, a few years ago now, maybe even supporting Maria or it may have been Grant Lee Buffalo...?? But all of these artists appear to have gone to seed, I do hope they are all still working on material as I'm very eager to hear new output from them all...So anyone got any news at all???? All info gratefully received. Right that's enough from me, I'll shut up and get back in my box now..... Ady ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE: Sinister: i'll go and play with words and pictures...
by Chris Leonard 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

Strangely enough my mother prevented me from watching Dungeons And Dragons on the grounds that it was evil. You see the large fellow with the horn (no not keith/mick) was clearly the devil. Along with Dungeons and Dragons, Chocky (sp.?) was off grounds. This was about some invisible entity who whispered scary things into the ears of young children. Obviously the invisible entity was a demon, so mother said no. But she did let me stay up to watch "The Young Ones". Pigeon Street had rather annoying electronic toms to represent the coo of a pigeon, if I recall. As far as songs that make me cry - I am a bit of an emotional type and can often be found weeping at the injustices of this world. So needless to say, many a song brings a tear to my emerald eyes. A few spring immediately to mind....... "Feed the Birds" by Mary Poppins "Hello Young Lovers" by "I" from "The King And I" "My Grandfathers Clock" by my mum Hmm. I read somewhere of the magical powers of lavender oil, so I dabbed a little on my forehead before leaving for work. Unfortunately it is rather potent stuff and my incredibly laddish workmates have given me the rather clever nickname "Lavender Gay Boy". Ho Ho Ho. How I love the world of international fund management. Fond Regards, Lavender Gay Boy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Real sleaze

This came up a couple of digests ago... > >>> HOW SLEAZY ARE YOU? > >>> (1) Ever laughed at someone else's misfortune? > >>> 1 point > >>> (2) Ever laughed at a physically or mentally handicapped person? > >>> 2 points > >>> (3) Ever tried alcohol? > >>> 1 point > >>> (4) Ever been drunk? > >>> 2 points > >>> (5) Ever play drinking games? > >>> 2 points etc etc etc (various other things, like how it's ten times sleazier to have gay sex than it is to laugh at a mentally handicapped person) It's not very Belle & Sebastian, is it? For goodness sake, real sleaze is about dishonesty, exploitation or hurting people, not about who with, how or where you have sex. This sort of stuff is just the dark flipside of uptight Christian moral values - haven't we got beyond this? Don't B&S lyrics just shine with the exact opposite - gentle acceptance of whatever sexuality you're into? Whatever gets you through the night...

Sinister: who knew?
by Courtney Knopf 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

Here I am. And I can't believe that this is only my second post to the Sinister list. I'm so *very* vocal on all the other lists I'm on. In time I'm sure I'll pipe up more, and then you'll all want to beat me senseless to shut me up:) First off, I'd like to say hello to Chris in Australia who knows the oh-so-fab Michelle who I'm always chatting with on #weezer on IRC. Small world, eh? And secondly, I went to the Virgin megastore on saturday night while I was killing time before our movie started and I saw that they had about 4 copies of "Dog on Wheels" and about nine copies of "3..6..9.." I was very excited, but didn't have enough cash on me:( So I came back the next day because a friend of mine and his band were performing at the store. I checked in the "B" section again and only found about 3 copies of "Dog on wheels" and "3...6...9.." was NOWHERE to be found. In a 24 hour span..that's a whole lot of sales, I must say! I was impressed. So I snatched up a copy of DOW and had to settle. I also noted about 5 vinyl copies of the "3..6..9.." 12" and 2 or 3 copies of it on 7". Is this rare? or what? I was just wondering. So now all i need to do is get out and find LLPJ and another copy of 369 and I'll be set. But, ohhh to have a copy of Tigermilk. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "You're a handsome devil.

Sinister: the saddest song
by Schaffenberger 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

AHALTER asks about sad songs we cannot bear to listen to: The saddest thing that I can think of is the film PONETTE. I began crying mid-way through the film, and was all but hyperventalating (SP?) by the time it ended. The friends I was with were embarassed by my pitiful weeping. I think I will rent the video someday when I am alone and feeling quite pathetic. Songs? At the moment, all that come to mind are things like "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want," the melodies of which draw forth painful early high school memories, crushes on boys and the like... I know there are more, but I can't think of any. It's unbearable to remember being sad in high school, really. I think I've effectively blocked most of those years out. -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
