There's a book called Chariots of the Gods, which puts forward the theory that Earth was colonised by aliens. It's by an American, but I haven't read it, so I don't know whether it says anything about the Star of (Stuart) David. I'm not convinvced that this is the book you're looking for, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Sinister: The Space Between Us - ooer
by Vicky Parkinson 30 Jun '98

30 Jun '98

Craig Armstrong - If you like lots and lots of atmospheric dark strings, then this is the album for you. only two tracks have vocals on, but they are damned good tracks, and one after my own heart - let's go out tonight. Also one track is called Glasgow, and is very evocative of the docks in september at dusk with the rain pissing down as usual. I bought the new Mogwai 12 inch yesterday, and while I think is is lovely and enjoyed listening to it immensely, I cannot help but think that it is quite easy to create such sounds? I also bought the new Sonic Youth single, Sunday, which I absolutely adore, and crank up the volume of X-fm whenever it comes on. And a bargain 99p for the lovely 7 inch disk of black plastic. I never bougth singles when they charged and extortionate amount for them, but now i am addicted. Vicky xxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

> > Just wondering if anyone's heard Frazier Chorus, I was told it's very > B&S? My ex-babysitter from when I was wee, Chris, was in Frazier Chorus. He left just before they split to form.... oh god, oh god I can't remember their name:- (vaugely latino-esque house-pop, did a single with Tin-tin out before that abortion of a Sundays cover) Espadrille? Sepultura? something like that anyway.... He then left them to be in NWONW also rans Blubber in brighton, who I think never managed to get signed but did a fantastic song called "Grog" which David Kitchen always signs when he's drunk. He also has the most gorgeous girlfriend in the world (after my lovely linda, of course). Thanks to funkyseb for the Michael Owen comparisons, but all I remember doing at the last footie game was falling on my arse a lot attempting frankly unlikely scissor kicks, I'm not sure 'The Future Of English Football tm' has got much to worry about.

In a message dated 98-06-30 14:13:21 EDT, Genevieve writes: << Is stuart murdoch the only religious one of b&s..the lyrics seem a little bitter..does he go to church or do they just play in them? >> In an article in Puncture from Fall 1997 (kind of dated I suppose) it is written (in a five-page B&S article that doesnt have one direct quote from any member of the band...) that "In everyday life, Murdoch sings in a choir and is the superintendent of a church; in return, he gets a place to live and a place for the band to practice." No mention of their musical influences Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant, however. Must be saving that for the next issue... Jessica, who is listening to her dog lick itself, and is excited that she finally just learned to copy things into other emails, HA! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Female Drummers and Irish bunnies
by Martin Conneely 30 Jun '98

30 Jun '98

Female drummers: What about the Corrs????!!!!! "I saw a band once in Berkeley, CA called Heroine Kills...," A Dublin band had a vinyl single called "Heroin Kills Stick to Pills" a few months ago. Unfortunately, the band's name wasn't as memorable but maybe the Elaine who's pretending to be Joss would know. The brown paper bag cover was full of encouragement to make copies, pass them onto friends, tape them live, make bootlegs etc. The encouragement must have keep too successful as I haven't heard of them since. Jeepster will be pleased at that example? And the bunnies started singing in Irish Gaelic too late to give Sc****** the boost they needed to keep them in the [can't mention the F word.]. And a medieval definition of honey that I sent to the list a few weeks ago was translated by Honey at that time into French. That's class for you - since the definition, in English, was actually from a translation of a French book (any French listees come across Theodore Zeldin?)
