Sinister: there is eloquence in screaming

ok, i'm just watching Top of the Pops (yeh, i know its shit just now, but its a tradition, alright? like doing the nme crossword with kenneth on a thursday, though they should never have moved TOTP to a friday..), but anyhoo, what i was going to say was; HOW scary and horrible are Page & Plant??!! I mean, what is the point in them any more, except for yer dads to reminisce over? Someone should just tell them to stop, they've gone well past their sell-by-date...and Daniel O'Donnel is at no. 7!!! ahahahahaha has everyone gone mad? looks like it. Please don't anyone start accusing me of being ageist i just think people should know when to stop, ie. after they've reached their peak (did Daniel O'Donnel have one?) and shouldn't keep flogging a dead horse, or indeed, the ground where a dead horse used to lie... having said that, Aaron Carter should give up NOW, even if he is only 7 hehehehe. can you guess that i'm ever so slightly bored? as i've previously said, there are sooo many ways of avoiding studying...think i'll go and gaze out the window for a while. although eastenders is on soon... Debbie xxx. PS; there were about 2 inches of snow outside my house last night... no foxes though. shame. 'THE TRAGEDY OF IT IS THAT NOBODY SEES THE LOOK OF DESPERATION ON MY FACE.

<<Which is a shame,i would like to go to Brazil.I played Go Fish with a boy from Brazil once,he was so sweet he'd always say 'go fish darling'>> you really must go, genevieve, it's lovely!!! don't let people scare you saying how dangerous it is or anything, I think the most frightening thing I encountered were all the old potbellied men in speedo trunks on the beaches. would any brasileiro sinisterines be interested in doing me a favor, i need some portuguese translation work done? In return I can send some B&S EPs... e-mail me privately if interested. (Joao, voce nao recebeu as ultimas cartinhas que eu te mandei ainda??? (como se fala "e-mail" em portgues?) Estou esperando seu resposta...) Happy hols everyone!! now would be an opportune time to bring back the happy bunnies tagline don't you think? ta, tara ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

That's a *ROCK* family tree. Because Belle and Sebastian are a *Tight ROCK outfit*. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: What a top day
by Keith Watson 10 Apr '98

10 Apr '98

What a lovely day it is today. Quite quiet at work, hardly anyone's in at work, it looks like there's going to be a deal done in Northern Ireland that'll finally set something in stone and hopefully lead to peace, and we're grooving to the sounds of Curtis Mayfield in the office. Thanks to people for letting me know about the Bernard Butler album, I'll probably go and get it sometime soon, having said that Massive Attack's out on Monday, so I'll definitely be getting that. That'll be ace. It's just as well we're not having the picnic tomorrow in 12 inches of snow. I hope the weather clears up a bit by the end of April. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: So long and thanks for all the fish
by Keith Watson 10 Apr '98

10 Apr '98

Interesting one in this weeks NME. In an interview with Therapy?, Mark Beaumont (the bloke who reviewed If you're feeling sinister in NME) asks one of the members of Therapy? when the last time he punched someone for buying a Belle and Sebastian album was. The drummer bloke says one of his mates bought one recently and he was horrified, although the singer then points out that he quite likes Belle and Sebastian. Not a lot to it really, except that you begin to wonder exactly where a question like that popped up from if there isn't some sort of hidden agenda going down in Mark Beaumont's head. From his original review of "If you're feeling sinister" I got the impression he didn't like the idea of a band coming along and drowning out the memory of some of his favourite bands - which Belle and Sebastian are liable to do on account of them being infinitely better. A few months ago Steve Sutherland from the NME said something to the effect of "What is the point of Belle and Sebastian" , which I find a particularly stupid question from a bloke who's worked for the music press for nearly twenty years. I don't doubt he knows that the answer is that the point is that they're a bunch of musicians who want to make records that people will like - again, it's what's the motive for asking such a blatantly daft question. It just makes me wonder whether or not they're trying to force Belle and Sebastian to play the game and start doing interviews with them. It'd be a pity, cause Melody Maker seem to have treated B+S with much more respect, which I find annoying cause in my opinion it's a terrible paper - indie guitar weekly, Steve Lamacq's fanzine etc. Anyway, I'm currently reading "Hammer of the Gods" (the Led Zeppelin biography) which is the reason for the slightly cryptic title of this message - I've left 10CC songs well behind now for email titles. It's a cracking read, and if anyone in Scotland - or indeed Leamington Spa, has 3 quid spare then pop into Fopp and get a hold of it cause it's currently going well cheap. Is the Bernard Butler album worth buying then? cause I bought the last one, and it was the sort of thing that I thought I should like, but it turned out in the end that it was almost all shite. The two singles and a song called Disappointed were good though. Here's something I found evilly amusing the other day. I bumped into a friend of mine at Tolcross in Edinburgh last Saturday night and he was completely out of his brains staggering down the street from side to side, I've never seen him that rubbered before, cause he never used to drink all that much. So I'm asking him what he's been up to and he tells me that he's been out drinking with Arab Strap! Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
