Sinister: Mayfly
by Mark Hester 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

It's interesting all these people describing B&S as folk-rock. Genres have limited use, i know but I never thought of them as being that. The organ on 'Mayfly sounds like 'Telstar' by the Tornadoes. But was anyone on this list born when that came out..... not me, i missed it by 9 years. The reviewer who made comparisons with the first Lilac Time album... now that I can identify with! Has Duffy done anything lately? His guest appearance on "Western Wind" on St Etienne's Tiger bay album was the last I heard of him and that was '94. Re the name thing- a good way to come up with a good pseudonym is to take the your middle name and follow it with the name of the first street you lived in. Try it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

I feel so inadequate, I think this is going to take over my day. I was rather hoping for: "And the tap goes drip drip drip drip drip drip ...

Sinister: Back at the DHSS
by Keith Watson 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

> having completed my english degree and being now on the dole >for about seven months i am now insane and really quite >bored.Anyway being at a loose end I decided to emulate stuart >murdoch by riding around on citybuses I know how you feel, I spent 5 months or so on the dole a few years back and never again... working may not be ideal, but it's infinitely preferable to waking up every day at 2 o'clock, eating beans, watching blackadder and then going to the museum, cause it's the only free place to go (which has now changed). Hardly ever managed to do things I wanted to do cause you're constantly hassled by the situation you're in. It's certainly not enjoyable from my point of view (although I know people who did enjoy it). However, there are alternatives... as someone suggested recently, you could start a youth group.

Sinister: RE:Stephin Merrit and his various projects
by Matthew Neimark 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

First of all, the B&S and Magnetic Fields connection: I saw Claudia after the B&S show and she didn't seem to be too thrilled with me after I joked about pirating Tigermilk (despite the fact I had given her a free copy of Candy Factory after their first FBH show in Boston -- she didn't remember who the hell I was). She did tell me two things. 1) She loves B&S but Stephin doesn't really like them much. Hmmf. To each their own I suppose. Seems he thinks they are just a standard folk-pop band and doesn't see what is so special about them. Probably hasn't listened enough to them. 2) Although Chris Ewen composes the general synthesizer-type melody backgrounds of the songs in FBH, Stephin Merrit still writes the vocal melodies which are probably what dominates the "sound" in a way, especially in hits like "lonely Days" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
