Sinister: the big l
by bradford 08 Mar '98

08 Mar '98

hey all. no b&s, i just wanted to make a recommendation. i went and saw "the big lebowski" earlier today, and i have to say, i was so overwhelmed by that movie. it's the best comedy the coen brothers have done since "raising arizona". so, if any of you liked "raising arizona" or "fargo", definitley go see "the big lebowski". i sat through it twice and blew off work it was so good. -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I thought the story was a nice comment on this silly >ongoing debate about is-he isnt-he, almost as if someone's been following >it on the list and giggling at it. I enjoyed the story too. I don't think anyone was offended. In keeping with the clear speech campaign, here's my humble opinion: That supposedly gay song never struck me as being gay at all until someone pointed it out. The first thing that ever struck me about B&S was the use of the word "confessed" at the beginning of The State I Am In. I thought oooh you'll get into trouble for that. But I was wrong. Perhaps when people refuse to be drawn on their own sexuality it's to avoid being portrayed as Motley Crue types who say "there are no faggots in this band!". Apologies to Motley Crue if it wasn't them. Anyway, if anyone is even slightly interested in this kind of thing, I heartily recommend the Faber Book of Pop. I know I tend to go on and on, but it really is a good read, putting "pop" music in a wider context. It's also quite...hmmm....refreshing(?) to read about people who don't usually figure in lengend-based music books, people like Sylvester of You Make Me Feel Mighty Real fame. Plenty of stories that make you stop and think. Which may or may not be a good idea, but I personaaly think it's better than the usual rock history books. The Village People story in this month's Mojo magazine is good too. It also contains photos of our old friend Bert Jansch. It would appear that he does exist after all. Which is more than can be said for any of the folk records that they rave over. After a hard day's rifling through record racks I found absolutely none of them. The only thing I found was a folk compilation with Billy Connolly on it, some song about wellies, so that was that. That was a hint... Yours in emotional drainage, Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Arab Strap (yes, i've just heard it's an old topic)
by Michael Ryley 08 Mar '98

08 Mar '98

Dear kids, I'm listening to the Arab Strap "Girls of Summer E.P." and it's ace, well worth the inflated price i had to pay for it (being in Australia and all...grrr). My question is, are there any links between B&S and AS...you've probably all been through this already but please humour me...is it just me or does "A Century of Elvis" sound not a little bit like an upbeat Arab Strap? love, the ever-slow MichaelXXXXXXXXX ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: insecurity
by Michael Ryley 08 Mar '98

08 Mar '98

This ongoing debate re: bandmembers' sexuality is kind of interesting, but i wonder why sensitivity and being queer are so often linked...certainly, the men at my local gay pub are usually far from sensitive...we all need our privacy, but at the same time, i know many young kids who really care about these issues, because it's all about finding someone with whom to identify, so they can feel less alone...surely i can't be the only person to whom music has provided this service...thankyou for your time, pls. excuse my prattling on.... love michael, alias YUM-YUM HAGGERTY (erm, no, i dom't think so). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: flamer
by bradford 08 Mar '98

08 Mar '98

hey. all this talk about gayness reminded me of something. didn't a while back i read an excerpt of an interview with isobel where she says that stuart puts himself in the role of a woman and writes songs about himself. if that's the case, then seeing other people wouldn't be this grand gay anthem that people wish it was. but then again, who cares? -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
