Sinister: An Eighties Quiz! (Minimal B&S, but what the hell)
by Essexdog5 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

My bastard flatmate set me a '80s lyrics quiz a few days ago (gawd, what a krayzee life we lead) and I've still only got 13 out of 50. He still won't tell me the answers, which I fear is in revenge for my good self having played the Dog On Wheels EP to such a degree that he now finds himself singing in the shower against his better judgement. Pah! Any ideas? (NB in anticipation of any emails telling me to try the '80s list - I already have, but their taste is not as impeccable as B&S bods. I mean that most sincerely folks, I really do). Let's go....... 1) I need your love tonight, not just a hand to hold... 2) I must have left my house at eight because I always do... 3) Welcome to the great republic, guess I should show you round, where once I was a king but now I am a clown... 4) Every night she walks right in my dreams since I met her from the start... 5) She goes out every night 'til the morning is light, and she sleeps all day... 6) Look at my hopes look at my dreams and the currency we've spent.... 7) All your dreams help you forget, you ain't never danced a step... 8) I can feel the earth begin to move, I hear my needle hit the groove 9) Why should it be, that my heart's under lock and I can't find the key... 10) I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)... 11) You don't have to say you love me, you don't have to say you care... 12) Nobody knows me, but I'm always there... 13) Arms intwined, the chosen few, the newspaper says.... it's true.... we can break through.... 14) Out of my head to say the things I said, I didn't mean a word... 15) I said "a fine man", she said "So arrogant - I will decide where I go or I don't go"... 16) The tears I cry aren't tears of pain, they're all to hide my hidden shame... 17) I was standing, you were there, two world collided... 18) Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder, under the covers... 19) Subject me to the truth to the heartache and pain, until my mind is twisted... 20) By a tree near a river there's a hole in the ground.... 21) I say I think I ought to go, she answers yes, but I say no... 22) Here it comes again, chugging like a train, round and round, the same old tune... 23) I won't be here when you come home, I'm sorry if you don't understand forgive me if you can... 24) You got style, that's what all the girls say... 25) So now it's over, he's got a heart made out of stone... 26) Soldiers of fortune by some other name... 27) What's your definition of dirty baby, what do you consider pornography.. 28) Woah, makes me want to dance, woah, it's a new romance... 29) We're going to find a way, find a way to get a way, this time... 30) We're no strangers to love, you know the rules and so do I... 31) P.E.R.S.P.E.C.T.I.V.E, is no mystery... 32) A walk in the park can become a bad dream... 33) Just like that murder in '73, just like that robbery in '62... 34) Nothing is certain in a changing world... 35) It's all the same, only the names have changed... 36) Tonight I need your sweet caress, hold me in the darkness, 37) Take a look at me, wired to a machine... 38) When the chips are down, I'll be around, with my undying death defying love for you... 39) Change your heart to a little white dove, more than a feeling... 40) If you said jump I'd say "how high", if you said run I'd run and fly... 41) This could be the last time, I think I said that last time... 42) Now and then when I see her face it takes me away to that special place... 43) You're out of time, and I'm out of my head when your not around... 44) Here comes the 21st century, it's going to be much better for a girl like me... 45) Boys, now the times are changing the going could get rough... 46) There's only two things that you can't hide from - you and the ground you're walking on... 47) And the music don't feel how it felt when I felt it with you... 48) I went though some nights concerned by the shadows, I was crippled emotionally 49) You're breathing in fumes I taste when we kiss... 50) Every time in rains, I have you here in my head... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: 80's Quiz - no B&S content
by Matthew Neimark 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

About 5 years ago, I was listening to the radio and heard a song that sounded like some 80's brit band. For a while it was my holy grail to hear the song on the radio again and identify it. I never heard it again, but think that someone on this list might be able to help me out. Let's do this 80's Quiz style: "Blame it on me, it's raining on you...." "Tell me baby...." Both these quotes are from the same song, if you get the answer, email me privately, and I'll give you my vinyl copy of tigermilk. PS I have no vinyl copy of tigermilk, but I'll give you a tape (of something you'd like) if you need it. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Here's a few more: 16) The tears I cry aren't tears of pain, they're all to hide my hidden shame... Human - The Human League 36) Tonight I need your sweet caress, hold me in the darkness, Breathe - hands to heaven 27) What's your definition of dirty baby, what do you consider pornography.. George Michael - sex? or maybe Prince or Poison? Quite a few of these I think were only on the UK's charts which is why I'm having a difficult time with it! - us Canadians got to grow up on Casey Kasem's American top 40 and some really bad hair bands throw in for Canadian content and missed out on all the lovely britpop....

Sinister: No B&S Content, Add N To X/Ariel M
by Huw Jenkins 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Add N to X, Ariel M. Anyone see either of theses two bands last night in Camden Town? If you didn't I advise taking the next available opportunity to see them, they are the Sepultura of dance, who will send the Prodigy crying to thier Barby dolls. Anything I ever see from this day on will be hard to live up to. tut ta, Huw

Sinister: Sinister Solicitation Sheet
by leslie.chinea＠emimusic.com 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Thought some of you might find the following Matador retail solicitation sheet on Sinister interesting, factual reading.... ________________________ Now available on Matador Records, BELLE AND SEBASTIAN If You're Feeling Sinister C21Z/C41J - 56713 Full price CD $10.98 list Cassette · SoundScanning 600 units a week · In July, Matador/Capitol will be releasing BELLE AND SEBASTIAN's much- anticipated new album. · Compilation of UK EPs in September The cult story of the year, the sporadically unavailable ex-Enclave debut by Glasgow's BELLE AND SEBASTIAN is a triumphantly melancholy folk-pop masterpiece. Layering Stuart Murdoch's plaintive vocals over twelve-string guitars, occasional brass and strings and a scattered, harmonied pulsing beat, BELLE AND SEBASTIAN's nine members weave a gorgeous tapestry of sound with nods to Nick Drake, Bridget St. John and Orange Juice. Now available again on Matador/Capitol, If You're Feeling Sinister has been SoundScanning 600 units a week with no radio, no tour and very limited availability. It has been been placing on every major year end list, however (see below). YEAR END POLLS: Village Voice Pazz & Jop Poll #8 Spin #18 Album of the Year CMJ 1997 Jackpot Album; #15 Top 200 '97 NME #22 Single of the Year "People don't just like Belle & Sebastian, they're hopelessly devoted to them. Among tonight's collection of hipsters, Habitat squares, C86 revivalists and out-patients, there are people who've trekked from America and Japan. Why? Because the Belle & Sebastian songbook is crammed with tales of feckless idealists who, although hemmed in by boorish reality, demand the earth. We've a diquieting sense that they harbour the sane, giddily romantic part of us that age has whittled away. And they make our compromised spirits soar anew." -- Melody Maker "Now with the Enclave defunct, the band has unsurprisingly become one of the most hotly sought-after acts around. Unfortunately, until an American licensing deal is signed, fans on this side of the Atlantic will have to look for future Belle and Sebastian releases in the import bins." -- CMJ "...these Scots couple chaste songs to subtle perversions... these sad, swoony songs [nick] everything from Nick Drake to bossa nova to Merseybeat..." -- Spin Matador & Capitol logo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Not a happy thought
by King Fame Throwa 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Whilst musing the possibility of B&S becoming popular I thought a horrible thing. What if Evans became a fan? Would this mean mainstream radio, top 10 success and regular apperances on the godamnawfulsycophanticshite that is TFI... alongside Evans mates like Billy Ocean Colour Scene, Texas , the so-called Weller-Feller etc. Ugh... makes me turn green at the thought.....but then Cornershop at number 1???

Surely it was the unmatchable Womack and Womack that sang "Footsteps", and didn't Ashford and Simpson sing "Solid as a rock"? As to which of these songs (if any) "and the music.........blah" comes from, I'm none the wiser. Anyway, thanks for the memories.......my sister and I would have to hang on to each other to steady ourselves whenever we heard "Footsteps" .........awwww, the good old days.
