It's eerie, depressive, dark, scary.... Sure, there's irony all over, but not the sort that makes you laugh... I liked it, but it wasn't the sort of thing to lift my spirits... It seems to me the book (which I didn't read) leaves a very different impression compared to the movie. Did anyone read the movie AND see the book (well, the other way round)? So, which is it? a) Orson Welles really turned everything around in the movie; b) I didn't get any of it - the joke is too subtle; c) You people are laughing at that weird paranoia stuff; d) All of the above. ... Is there a comic book version of The Trial? Just wondering... :-) Pedro ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Felt not glaxie 500 who are sponsered by Persil. Possibly.
by Sarah 07 May '98

07 May '98

hiya kiddos! (even though you are possibly all older than me, apart from those ickle brats joooooongggggeeeeeee and beeeetheeey, who are squirts.) Chris Browning, I am going to contadict the others. I do not know Galaxie 500 at all, but thanks to the PARTICIPATING! Alistair Eff, i *do* know Felt. And bloodly marvellous they are as well. Then again, tis only a mere tad that I know off them. But more than Galaxie 500. In my opinion, Galaxie 500 make me think of these two things alternatively. Galaxy bars AND washing powder. gaaawd knows why at all. but i'll tell you what. AIR ARE SPLENDIFEROUSLY FAB! i bought the single today (albums! hahahhhahahaha, affording albums!!! thats funnny! hahahahahahahhaha!), and its bloody ace. I also got an Undertones single from the market of Preston, mainly cos it was 2 quid. and the Undertones. Prestons cool for hoary old punk singles etcetera. Perhaps due to the amount of hoary old punks lying about in Preston. Even though there isn't many. you looking at me? I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Fw: Sinister: galaxie 500/felt
by Chris Borne 07 May '98

> in other words - which do i buy the felt box set or the galaxie 500 box set? > > advice needed!!!! > > > > chris > > > Duh. Galaxie 500. It's one of the nicest box sets ever made. Of > course, NOBODY EVER FOLLOWS MY MUSICAL ADVICE, so I won't be offended > if you get the Felt one. Even though it is surely not as good. > Happy birthday to you! > > -Kristen This is a tough one. I have the G500 box set, and love it. It is definative, containing nearly everything they did, all releases, and some neat live/demo stuff. Galaxie 500 really affected my musical taste and style. I remember listenening to Today about 9 years ago, thinking that it was okay to make music full of beauty, and not to be angry all the time. But recently, I have discovered Felt via reccommendations of this list. I like what I hear, and see Felt as a closer musical cousin (Or bastard step-child, more likes), to B&S. I think the band woul dreccommend Felt. Also, the G500 is re-mixed from the original studio albums. I have some of it on the original Rough Trade releases, and when re-mixing for the box set, Mr. Kramer toned down some of the ethereal delays, much to my chagrin. I hop ehtis completely confused the issue for you. Chrispy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

If you Londoners haven't seen LOW...By all means...go go go. They're georgous. And tell them I say hi!!! beth P.S. Very odd that Low was mentioned today in a post, because in the midst of a montage of hellish nightmares...last night I dreamed that someone gave me a box of Low CDs....How very strange. Then someone got killed by huge, killer spiders that wove nets of thick spiderwebbies and at the top, were lion rampants woven in..... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Earth, Water, Fire and Air
by Chris Leonard 07 May '98

07 May '98

Good Day, >Also, did anyone else see Jo Whiley last night, with Jason Donovan? >It's so wierd seeing him again, after all this time. He seemed a bit >strange, but also really with it for someone who was hounded by the >press for quite a while. I never watched this, but I did see him on Richard and Judy one morning, talking about hair loss. "I dont have a problem with it", he said through clenched teeth. Now then, how about Jason Orange in that "killer net" the other night! Smoking! Drinking! Shagging! Threatening behavior! And worse of all SWEARING! Oh how the mighty have fallen. I feel abused. Howard would never let me down. And was that Rusty Lee stripping? Gosh. Big Country, eh? Was never much of a fan myself though as a pup I did adore the tunes in "Restless Natives" (scots film about the clown and the wolf man robbing buses of merkin tourists). It's a great film, specially when the protagonist is cleaning up the princes street gardens, and the young run through shouting "C'MERE YA FANNY". ho ho. You'll be glad to hear that The Incredible String Band documentary the other night was on first watch bemusing, but on second watch entirely fantastic. Robin Williamson has the biggest physical head I have ever seen, without being a joke.I like him even more now. What a splendid fellow!

Sinister: Dad bought Sinister
by Pedro Rodrigues 07 May '98

07 May '98

Hi all, since everyone is talking about converting people to B&S (a task not altogether difficult), I might as well put in my 2 escudos: - my dad listened to 30 seconds of it (a friend had lent it to me - ola' Tiago!), asked what is this, I replied it was great, one week later he had bought the CD, which saved me from the inevitable purchase. - another friend, quite older - over 40 I think also fell in love with B&S (and The Tindersticks, by the way). - People my age keep ignoring it, some say it sounds old fashioned, which I think is bullshit. - I haven't given up, there are two or three targets which I'm sure will be easy converts. Do we get medals? Free Tigermilk bootlegs? What?... - Pedro ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Re: taureans?
by Suzanne Schroeder 07 May '98

07 May '98

I helped bring my friend into her 22nd b-day the other day by going on a pub crawl of sorts. Since this is austin, it means going from one dive to another adorned with picnic tables. Well, even so we only made it to 2 places before I decided I was going to play the part of God and finish 1 pint of Guinness and 1 pint of Fosters in nearly 30 minutes on top of what I had already drank.. I'm the sort who easily bragged that I drank such and such and felt fine afterwards. I didn't need help walking home, but one of my friends decided to act as the rudder as I went one place to another shuffling along. We got back to their place and I decided I needed birthday cake. Lots of it. 30 minutes later, I felt the room spinning, but not overly ill, but I decided to go into the bathroom just in case. As to not gross out my audience, i won't finish that part. I'll just say I was telling one of my friends not to clean that up because I wouldn't even touch that, but she blamed herself for me getting drunk. There speaks a true friend. I ended up sleeping over there and getting up at 5 in the morning to go to work, but it was too much and I drove queasily back to my house and sat at the table picking at a piece of bread and trying to drink some water to get rid of the nausea I felt from every movement. 22 does suck. And I'm a near christmas baby. I was 22 last year and from the 1st moment (I was studying in Glasgow and watched as everyone went home for the holidays when my flight didn't leave until Sunday) until the last day (in Austin watching the rockabilly band reverend Horton Heat by myself at a club because everyone had once again gone home for the holidays and I was in the process of moving back into town) it was all filled with pure crap. It had a highlight or two, but I don't even want to go into that. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: Oh, 2 Other Things....
by Tara Widmer 07 May '98

07 May '98

David "no really, this is my last post about tigermilk ever" walker said: <<Firstly, saw St Etienne last night and they were excellent, except for: 1. Ms Cracknell`s dancing - it`s awful.>> I simply *adore* Sarah Crackers she is my idol you know... ..well, right after Elizabeth Hurley. And Emma Peel. Oh yeah Audrey Hepburn too. Anyway Sarah's up there somewhere... In a tenuous B&S semi-related note, she used to go out with him from Felt, and claims to have been a go-go dancer for their shows. (?!?) From David's observation, guess it's been a while... When are you Bay Area types gonna get yourselves sorted and organize a picnic??? There are people in Wisconsin and DC, groups in Seattle and LA doing them and nobody here is even interested? or was i just not invited? pssshhh c'mon baby rock my world! tararabelle ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Bedhead shows (NBSC)
by Nicole Elger 07 May '98

07 May '98

Hi, No B&S Content here, but since the lovely Bedhead had been discussed a few times I thought some of you might be interested in the Europe tour dates posted by the band on the Bedhead list this morning. Only one UK date, this Saturday in a church (!) in London. It seems to be just recently arranged, so may not be advertised yet. (More info listed below.) I know Low is playing the next night in London, so you lucky Brits get two great gigs in one weekend. If anyone needs details of the other Europe dates, e-mail me privately. - Nicole ps had a great time the other night with Aya, one of our Japanese listees, who is in Seattle for a while to study English. ----------------------- >SAT 5.9 London, England > >Venue: The crypt of St. Giles' Church in Camberwell >Location: Peckham Road, Camberwell, London SE5 >Contact: Dominica at Southern Studios 171 348 4640 >Showtime: ?? > >SUN 5.10 Kontich, Belgium >MON 5.11 Lyon, France >TUE 5.12 Marseilles, France >WED 5.13 OFF Agostino--all-purpose Italian contact: (39) 9 531 1565> >THU 5.14 Rome, Italy >FRI 5.15 Senigallia, Italy >SAT 5.16 Bologna, Italy >SUN 5.17 Biella, Italy >MON 5.18 Landsberg, Germany >TUE 5.19 Hamburg, Germany >WED 5.20 Amsterdam ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: sinister virgin!
by Maggie Hays 07 May '98

07 May '98

Hello. This is my first, and sadly last, post. I have been lurking for the last two weeks since I joined. I just recently discovered B&S because I read the Spin magazine article. They sounded interesting, so I bought Sinister. I was hooked the first time I listened to it. I brought it to my lecture classes and instead of listening to my professors, I would listen to something even more interesting. But the best part is that I got my boyfriend into them. I converted someone already!! I hopefully will get my frineds into them this summer. But, I must unsubscribe because I am leaving school for the summer. Thanks for the humor guys. It was great waking up every morning with twenty-some messages! I promise I will be back when school starts back in August. I can't wait!!! GOODBYE LIST!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
