Hooray! It was me! I was there as you were talking to me! Thank you for not mentioning that I approached you and passed comment on your B&S t-shirt while you were in the toilets ...oops. And thank you Chippy for giving me the opportunity to post almost meaninglessly, which allows me to continue my quest of inconspicuously climbing the posting charts (and don't think I'm not watching you, AMH).

Anyway, for the most part they were pretty good, especially the >long dancey versoin of "Girls Of Summer". I was there too and had a great time. I had great difficulty hearing what Aiden Moffat was saying, partly because of the aforementioned talking but also because he's pretty difficult to comprehend at the best of times. Still, the music was cool and I mellowed out to it (with the help of some alcoholic beverages) and was terribly happy all night. A friend of a friend managed to blag his way backstage to meet the band and I hear that they were snorting coke with rolled up twenty pound notes. Very rock and roll.

Sinister: plagiarism begins at home
by bradford 06 May '98

06 May '98

hey. following in that guy from..well, wherever the hell he was in scandinavia or something, here's my autobiography. I was born that magical year of 1974 in albany, the day that Elvis was born on, and only five years until Abba broke up.. Only 3 days until beer would be allowed , and nobody knew about about Iceland.. I soon learned that if I wanted to survive I had to hide my fondness for bryan adams and say I liked billy joel.. Iceland was becoming an almost civilised nation and CD's hadn't been invented.. At age five I went to Kindergarden, and stayed there until I was six years old and then I went to school, I stayed in that same school until I was 14 and then I went to another school and stayed there for 4 years and now i'm here.. where ever I am... and in that time slot, I evolved my dislike for sports, learned how to play the flugelhorn, read a lot of comic books, and got to know Belle and Sebastian... and that's all folks,,, whew. creative energy flowing tonight. for those that care, i really do share the same birthday as elvis. and david bowie. maybe i'm destined to change the face of music as well....but my four track's broken and i'm broke. i don't need your fucking pity, -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Mel Gibson 4 Michelle Pfiffer
by G R Thomas 06 May '98

06 May '98

BELLE AND SEBASTIAN PICNIC PRIMROSE HILL/CAMDEN TOWN 4/5/98 Everyone gathered outside Camden Town Tube in the bright sunshine at 2.00pm, and after waiting a short while for latecomers, we headed off for Primrose Hill. As we made our way through the streets, it really became apparent how quickly London can change. We started off near Camden High Street, with its slightly trendy, 'sleazy' reputation, and as we travelled towards the Hill, the scenery changed to 'posher' more greeny resedential avenues. We walked along Regent's Park Road, past the English Folk Dance and Song School, which I thought was sort of fitting. We walked up to the top of the Hill, and made camp there. The view from the top of teh hill was very impressive, and it seemed to me like we were at the very top of the world. I could see for miles. I saw Canary Wharf and the Telecom Tower, and lots more besides, which I didn't recognise. Next came the food. John Johnston laid out his rug, and everyone piled on the assorted tucker they had brought along. We had a bit of everything, including such delights as a whole pineapple, mangoes and Rory's Birthday cake, which was shared out sort of equally. People started getting into games after the food, and we had Twister, Cards, Connect Four, Buckaroo which didn't Buck all day, and a classic game of "which side are you on?!" football. The weather started to get a little less perfect later on in the afternoon, so the renmaining crowd decamped to the Spread Eagle pub on Parkway. After deciding to sit outside the pub rather than inside it, we were happily filling the highway when the barman decided to take it upon himself to move us on, claiming that the local residents would call the rozzers on us if we didn't shift. A small group of us decided to revive our B+S tribute session from earlier in the day, so Mr. Axe, Rob B and the rest of us reeled off a selection of classics from 'Sinister', 'Tigermilk' and a few of the singles. With the threat of arrest semmingly subsided, we spent the rest of the day sitting outside the pub. Some played charades, while the rest of us sat around idly discussion nothing. The conversation turned to the Eurovision Song Contest through Elisabeth's job at the Travel Agents and this proved to be a hugely invigorating topic, providing a platform for Elisabeth's collosal knowledge of the subject to shine. Myself and many others, including Gary and Gerard from Glagow were frankly amazed. We all chipped (sorry) in for a poration of chips each, and David and Katrina proved just how lovely they are by going down the chippy to buy them all for us. My evening ended about 9.30, as I had to get a train back. It was the end of an absolutely fantastic day. It really was really enjoyable. All the people I met were so friendly. A huge thanks to David and Katrina for organising such a great day, and hello to John Johnston, Trousers (don't forget the Blue Soda social at the Poetry Cafe), Susannah (why she didn't buy the bike I'll never know-what a bargain, eh?), Rory, Joe, James, Stuart Tall Git, Steady Mike, the poor Everton supporter, Mr. Axe, Rob B (he of the church thing of his e-mails), Elisabeth, Gary and Gerard from Glasgow, Mel and Seb and everyone who was there. The total headcount by David was apparently 52, which was excellent. I had a really nice day, and I'm really loking forward to the next one, planned for Spring Bank Holiday, May 25th. Please come, everyone, please... Lots of love and hugs, GIDEONxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: Rediffusion
by G R Thomas 06 May '98

06 May '98

Re the recent mails about Rediffusion (thanks whoever that was-makes a lot more sense now), does anyone know what Stuart means by "The Knocking School" (is it?) in "She's Losing It"? Coming to think of it, also "The School Of Rock" in "Sting Bean Jean"? (another of our fantastic tribute numbers on Monday-We rock!). Oh well, some of you might have a thought or two on them, See you later, GIDEONxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: To CD or not to CD? That is the question...
by The Tall Git 05 May '98

05 May '98

Just to add my 2p worth to the Tigermilk debate... Straight from the horses mouth (namely David at the picnic yesterday); I hope I won't get into trouble for saying this, but Jeepster are prepared to turn a blind eye to dubs of Tigermilk as long as they don't hear about it. If you send a message to the list saying you have copies for sale, they have to do something. True, Electric Honey own the original rights to it, but Jeepster have the rights to a rerelease in the future. The band have said countless times that it will come out again in the future, but at the moment they're concentrating on the new material (which is at least as good, if not better) so I guess it probably won't be in the next 12 months, until the new album is out of the way. Secondly, CDs ARE different to tapes. Maybe the Duke's right, and in a few years CDR machines will be commonplace, but at the moment they are not. Thus if you did a CD copy for someone, they would probably have to send you money to pay for the blank CD, which is where the problems start; if you receive a penny more than the cost of the CD you are making a profit, and so you are an illegal record label. However, anybody can send you a blank tape for you to copy Tigermilk onto, and as it is for personal use and no money has been taken, it is OK. Likewise if you do yourself a CD from a tape / original, that is (I believe) legal and would (I am sure) be ignored by Jeepster. I don't think Jeepster are being unreasonable here at all, if you try and see it from their point of view. Sure, it's frustrating not owning your own copy, but with a tape dub and a bit of patience, all will turn out for the best. We'll soon have had 3 albums and 4 EPs in 3 years; we can't really complain that they're not putting enough stuff out. Well that very serious email, so I'll lighten it up a bit; My wife went out for a curry the other night... Stuart G ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

A forwarded message from Mick Cooke for you all regarding another amphetameanies gig that's coming up. Hope you're all faring well, bit strange having a quiet inbox!
