Sinister: 159 hours
by Amanda Bergman 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

until I leave for the UK! yay! and I always thought I was bad at math... but speaking of numbers, today is my dad's birthday! Big Art is turning a ripe old 47! (that's about 410,592 hours, according to my calculations) So it's Friday the thirteenth *and* a full moon, apparently. Maybe all of these circumstances had a bearing on yesterday's chat? Some kind of cosmic thing? Anyway, my dad seems to be under the impression that the best way to avoid bad luck on Friday the 13th when there's a full moon is to burn socks on a mountaintop. So I think tomorrow I shall round up all the olive green argyles I can find and head to...wait, there are no mountains here in the flat American midwest. Perhaps someone can ascend a Scottish summit for me and do the honors vicariously...? (oh, in other Big Art Bergman news, my dad has officially been inititated into the wide world of chat, so if you run into him there, please be friendly!) More specifically B&S related content: one highlight of the chat for me (aside from Stuart David's incessant sarcasm and abrupt departure, of course) was the acknowledgement that "Lonliness of the Middle Distance Runner" will appear on one of the upcoming releases. That song is so incredibly beautiful. Is anyone else as smitten with it as I am? the HoneyTiger wrote: >I will sOon pack up my bags and sail east, a bright new future >in showbiz awaiting, armed only with my copy of Tigermilk in >my handbag and fiddling with the clasps on my catsuit. >Who'll buy my video? well, given his penchant for stimulating entertainment on video (Columbo, anyone?) and his strange fascination with all things "exotic," I would venture to say that Stuey D would be a prime candidate. Susannah, what do you think? time to "get to my kip," then. (I am learning the native lingo...) bye bye, CinderSwan Bergman (who hopes that MysticTag's fairytale premonitions come true!) ------------------ Amanda Bergman Northwestern University a-bergman(a)nwu.edu "And like a fool, I walked away and left them my beautiful swan." --Charles Bukowski ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re:Sinister: No B&S at all - I stand corrected

Well Todd, I'm very sorry, but I'm an Afghan Whigs fan too, and I also listen to Pavement, Sonic Youth, Pixies ans a lot more. Is there a problem with this?

I am mortified - what kind of freak listens to both these bands? Ohh...waitaminit... off for more amphetimines and coffee....

Sinister: bandchat again

Apologies - using a decent operating system, I didn't remind myself that on MS Windows makes assumptions about filetypes from names. For anyone whose PC told them they couldn't view the chat log when they clicked on it, it's rubbish - click again now. Oh, and feel free to comment. Was it just me who didn't know that BarryYorath was Peter Miller? Honey aka Honey xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Benicassim, chocolate peanut butter & trout
by Huw Jenkins 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

Firstly can Katrina or David please confirm that B&S are playing in Benicassim. Can anyone E-Mail me more information about this place as it sounds great regardless of whether or not B&S are playing, that would just be a bonus. Oh, and Amanda Bergman, real funny! Gullible is a person and I am he (although I kind of knew it all along). Huw P.S- I baked the trout with seasoning, wrapped in silver foil, ate it with peas & chips, and it tasted fine.

Actually I've just thought of one myself. Lundi Bleu by Times. Everything that guy did was appalling, including his tribute to Manchester.

Sinister: The Scotsman
by Andrewnic 13 Mar '98

13 Mar '98

>From "The Scotsman" Friday 13th March 1998, CD Review: Celebrity chef Nick Nairn's LAST GOOD BUY BELLE & SEBASTIAN If You're Feeling Sinister Jeepster, £15.99 They're a kind of a Nineties Simon and Garfunkel - but a bit funkier than that. It's very quirky: on one of the tracks there's even a great stylophone break. The lyrics are worth reading because they are quite strange in themselves. The whole album has a nice atmosphere and I find it very invigorating but also quite mellow. You hear different things in it every time. The music in some ways is quite simple but also quite rough. There's not a huge amount of production on it, but in other ways it's quite sophisticated, there's a lot going on. I just never tire of listening to it. ****************** Andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
