Sinister: Listening to B&S at higher speeds
by Andrew Hung Nguyen 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

Hello all, Has anyone ever noticed that "Electronic Renaissance" sounds like a techno song and "Dog On Wheels" sounds like a Flamenco song at higher speeds. Or maybe it is just me.

Sinister: There is love in Century of Fakers (Elvis)
by Yummycats 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

My friend, refers to Belle and Sebastian as "Those Pussy Boys," brought it to my attention that "Century of Fakers" is remarkably similar to "The Wedding Song (There Is Love)." Not the traditional wedding march ("here comes the bride...tra la la"). I downloaded a midi file off the internet and listened with a skeptic ear, and he's right! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I was the one who started the Gaelic/Scottish language thing to do with the B&S setlist language blunder. I originally come from Banffshire (that's in Scotland for you non UK-ers) where we speak DORIC (a very strong dialect), which, in written form, is pretty near to 'Old Scottish' (with some very local words). As far as I know there is a society dedicated to the less used Lowland variety (for you non-Scottish types that's the populated bit from Glasgow to Edinburgh) Somehow I don't think Belle & Sebastian would write in any version of Scottish. Imagine that!!! It's already bad enough with B&S being described as Folk-Pop. Writing in Scottish they would then become Super-Folky. I've never liked the music journo habit of describing singers or groups as 'folk'. I think they forget that there might be a local folk music tradition. B&S certainly don't sound folk in the Scottish sense (thank God or whatever). I think I've been watching too much Discovery Channel. I'm off to dream of horses (maybe).

Surely we need to be better co-ordinated than this, Katrina. What if everyone turns up with Swingball? Or we end up with nothing but Dandelion and Burdock to drink? Or endless packets of barbeque beef crisps? We'll all be sick. Also, we need to ensure a wide selection of ironic senses of humour is brought, or else we'll all be telling the same jokes all day. > .

Sinister: re:sinister:me me me
by Michael Ryley 05 Mar '98

05 Mar '98

Hello popkids! I'm probably really late replying to this but Me Me Me were a very short-lived band (thank god) consisting of the drummer from elastica, the bassist from Blur, Stephen 'tin tin' Duffy and some other bloke. Yes that song (Hanging Around) was catchy, but it was like all the cheesiest bits of Olde Englande model Blur in one track. Which is a hanging offence around these parts. until next time, beefcake BEEFCAKE BEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFCAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

by Alan Prior 05 Mar '98

Picnics on Primrose Hill!!??!! Bit far south for me, kids...(as usual) How about regional ones too? I would love one to be held in Edinburgh. Arthur's Seat? Prince's St. Gardens? Any other suggestions...(seen as B&S are Scottish an' all) I'm up for it if you all are...(onlt maybe not if I've got my CSYS English exam the next day- could be a problem!) love and alcoholidays, Debbie xxx. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>>Erm, we do write in English over here. By 'Scottish' you mean Gaelic, no? Or did you think it should be written in a charming Glaswegian accent? :o) A Scottish (Glasgwegian, in fact) friend of mine insists that there is a Scottish language - not Gaelic, but SCOTTISH.
