If the new stuff comes out in June then why not have a launch picnic?? It would be an unusual way to promote a record and give a chance for wizened hacks to spend time with the band and the fans which would be good for them if not us. Some would doubtless write about what a joy it was to meet so many disparate individuals brought together by the power of the music. Others would write about what a hopeless bunch of indie-schmindie ne'er-do-wells we all were. But some people will never get it... We're so lucky!! xx John >---------- >From: Jeepster Recordings Ltd[SMTP:jeepster.uk@virgin.net] >Reply To: Jeepster Recordings Ltd >Sent: 04 Mar 1998 13:03 >To: sinister(a)majordomo.net >Subject: Re: Sinister: Virgin (please) > >Andrewnic wrote: >> >> Went into Virgin in Princes Street yesterday in search of CDs and Jackie >>Chan >> videos.

Sinister: Where is everybody?
by G R Thomas 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

Yo, Where is everybody? I haven't recieved any Sinister mails since Friday! If this is just a problem confined to my computer system then perhaps Paul can mail me with info as to what is going on, or if others are experiencing the same problems, then what's going on? Maybe someone somewhere could mail me to say what's goooin on? Oh well, "It's punk rock, innit, carry on, don't mind me..."

Sinister: Intro/ Living the songs project: Dream of Horses
by Martin Conneely 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

1. My first message (after a few weeks lurking). Somebody complained about new mailers praising B&S. I've been musically conscious since before the Beatles (hibernating a lot it in recent years) , and IYFS is one of the greatest refreshers for tired ears and brains of its time, up there with Astral Weeks, Stormbringer, After the Goldrush, Hissing of Summer Lawns. And what's wrong with starting off on that foot? 2. Re. Living the Songs: > John WIgham suggested turning tables in M&S. > Honey added a series of suggestions for living the songs. I didn't quite dream of horses but last Saturday the Irish Times racing section had a headline: "Dun Belle on Track". Obviously this was a message from God, who used to send messages as dreams at one time - see Bible or have a cup of tea with someone who's into Bible studies. I hadn't bet for years but how many B&Sers also read the ITimes racing section? The race was at 2.45 in Haydock, I put IR5 each way on Dun Belle, and took my son to the park for an hour to leave Dun Belle in peace as he/she was making my fortune in faraway fields. Returned from the park, without looking back, to the bookies to find that Dun Belle was an also-ran. My son had to do without his lemonade as I only had the price of 5 pints left (joking!). There are 2 Marks and Spencers in Dublin, Ireland but I don't know if they have tables to turn. It would be cheaper than dreaming of horses.

Sinister: Virgin (please)
by Andrewnic 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

Went into Virgin in Princes Street yesterday in search of CDs and Jackie Chan videos. Lack of interesting CDs. Read interview with Ian Brown in back of Q. Ha ha. Laughed at blokes looking at jazz mags hidden inside a copy of NME. Read Melody Maker (hidden inside a copy of Playboy). Went downstairs to video department. Actually, fell downstairs to video department. Landed on me head. At least it was the softest part. Wandered round in circles for a bit. Bought "Drunken Master" (with a big wahey to Keith, who recommended it. Fantastic), "Police Story 3" and "The Full Monty" (which doesn't have Jackie Chan in it, but should have.) Anyway to get to the point - Virgin now have a release date of March 16th for B&S under the singles section. Ptchah! I asked the bloke behind the counter, and he said "Yeah. It's out. Definitely". Double ptchah! On my way out noted kangeroo playing jews harp and (unusually for this time of year) circling bluebirds. Andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: a humnbe request
by Huw Jenkins 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

Dear List, Please help. I am so tired my eyelids feel as if they are filled with lead. I am at work and, as usual, have nothing to do. I have a lovely view of Tower bridge and the Canary Wharf (London) from my office window and I just want to daydream the afternoon away. what do you think would be a good B&S song ro daydream to or any other band for that matter or just send me something to keep me awake (plase no Eighties quizes) or a least to fill the vacuous space in my head. Yours truly, Huw P.S: has anybody got any iformation on Add N to (X).

In a message dated 03/03/1998 16:26:58 GMT, you write: << However, there are alternatives... as someone suggested recently, you could start a youth group. >> Or a band.

Sinister: pop quiz lines
by Hopkins T 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

um, yawn, my additions or corrections... 11) You don't have to say you love me, you don't have to say you care... is definitely not the Dusty classic, but instead some pop travesty by Transvision Vamp. Was it called 'I Don't Care'? 28) Woah, makes me want to dance, woah, it's a new romance... This is the Best [Years / Days?] Of Our Lives by Modern Romance, a strikingly poor latin-influenced pop song by the group who grew out of the Leyton Buzzards, whose 'Saturday Night Benmeath The Plastic Palm Trees' wasn't very good either. their 'We Make A Noise' was also terrible, but sported a fetching cover of the ears being blown off an extremely uncomfortable-looking middle aged man. 29) We're going to find a way, find a way to get a way, this time... This Time, We'll Get It Right, by the England 1982 World Cup Squad. and they did, didn't they? 45) Boys, now the times are changing the going could get rough... I think that's Quiet Life by Japan, but could be wrong. 50) Every time in rains, I have you here in my head... Is that Cloudbusting by Kate Bush? It's that 'Everytime it rains' thing. Maybe it's a trick question... 51) Lip Up Fatty That's 'Lip Up Fatty' by Peter Miller and the Bobby Chariot Castanet and Spoons Orchestra. I think. By bye Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
