Sinister: Gospel, Pulp, and a message for The Duke
by carrick44＠juno.com 22 Jun '98

22 Jun '98

First off, this was the most pleasant sounding message I've received in a long time. Neil wrote: >7/8ths of B&S are playing at Hyndland Church on Hyndland Road. It's an hour-long >singing sort of affair, where the band will be playing gospel and spiritually sort of >stuff, plus a little bit of pop, and the congregation all sing along. I hope they do "I am a Pilgrim" a la the Byrds..... Which reminds of a rather nice moment I had a few months back. Four people dressed in our Sunday best standing atop a earthen embankment in a farm field in Pennsylvania on a saturday night, the first full moon of the spring. As we gazed out at the fields we were thinking of a song to sing, and course I thought a B&S song would we just be perfect, but as usual, when one or more B&S fans get together no one can remember any words. So Shilough and Shenadoah started singing "I am a Pilgrim". And we made our way home and drank much red wine and lit candles and listened to Leonard Cohen records. But that was in the cool refreshing days of spring and now its hot and sticky and I think that I was the person that a certain Matthew saw on the sidewalk outside the Pulp concert in NYC a few nights ago. There's the whole issue of wearing band tshirts to a concert, when one should be dressing up and looking good, esp. for Pulp. But it was hot and sticky and I had to drive a long way in rush hour traffic and was thinking that comfort was more important than looking good. But then again, anybody looks good in a B&S tshirt. Bought from a rather dodgy looking character on the outskirts of Manchester. (Just kidding, I got it at Fopp on Byres Road in Glasgow) And to the person that talked to me outside before hand, who I can only assume is on this list (she said she had seen B&S 5 times), sorry for just sort of drifting off. I was trying to track down a few people and was not quite myself (two pints and a Johnny Walker Black within the space of an hour on an empty stomach) And to the person that talked to me after the show, who is planning to make...... nevermind. Was it just me or was your face sparkling? Nice to meet you both, and maybe I'll meet Matthew someday. And Mr. Cocker didn't notice the shirt even though I was in the front hanging on to my <camp> friend, when I should have been in back complaining how they weren't as good as the last time they came to NYC. And one more thing.... A Sarah said..... >....don't even know who the groove farm are, but a >tenner they sound like the wonderstuff. I found that quite amusing. And another thing, Duke..... Does your pal Kevin Pearce dig Belle and Sebastian? I recently acquired Hurrah's Way Ahead lp and I quite enjoyed his enthusiastic liner notes. I think he should write some for B+S. Pure emotion...Pure expression...Soul...giving the impression of a desperate need to communicate and touching upon the sense of struggle and all the frustration and everything that tends to be part of trying to get through something like that love Carrick _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I'd highly recommend the posthumous _The Sound Of Philadelphia_ CD collection (UK/Rev-Ola 14/'93) compiling the first four singles plus a considerable number of demos, radio session tracks and outtakes from the early years (1982-86) ... 23 tunes totalling almost 80 minutes. Failing that, you may be able to find the _Boxed_ LP/CD, which is a compilation of the early singles only.

Sinister: concert bootlegs

Does anyone have any B&S concert bootlegs (for my private use) that they would wish to trade for a cassette copy of Tigermilk (for your private use, of course)? If you do, please e-mail me privately off the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

RE: Sinister: Juck the Fury

This was Keith: It was actually Screamadelica that pushed most of the people I knew into buying a CD player cause it is I'd say almost perfect for CD and was one of the first albums as such, it's too much of a pain in the arse to turn the record over after every three tracks Keith, why is there a black line by the side of this message, and why is what I write smaller than what you write? I'm not bloody going to write what I was going to write now. I should look a complete fool with my writing smaller than yours. Oh well, I've strted so I'll finish, although quite what the point is with smaller writing I shall never know. I bought a CD player because I had a free CD from off the front of a magazine. It was mainly crap, except for Nelson Mandela, but the damage was done. I am now a CD enthusiast. Funnily enough, I just recently sold my tape copy of Screamadelica, it was pretty knackered but they didn't seem to mind. We'd been through a lot together, that tape and me. Now I've got it on CD but I hardly ever listen to it, 'cos it's pish compared to the last one, which rocks like a motherfucker. Peter

Sinister: Butterfingers!

Linda wrote (after some other stuff): >Will that do, admiral? Yes it jolly well will. This is the kind of thing the word "hurrah!" was invented for. I once saw the band of that name (with Felt) and they were unbelievably bad, right down to the Springsteenesque anguished facial expressions. Perhaps it was a bad night. I would also like to apologise for the word "knobcheese" in my last (hugely successful) message. I t was sitting in the outbox all weekend and I had fully intended to remove all traces of smegma before sending it, but it somehow just slipped through my fingers.

Sinister: Slow Graffiti
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 22 Jun '98

22 Jun '98

Hello! After waking up at 2.30 with a mouth like an ashtray, and realizing that there was no way I could get to the front door, let alone the picnic, I decided that I ought to do something vaguely listy, so here we are: Slow Graffiti D A theres a portrait in a back room G which I keep for whole days upon D which I relent C and gaze for hours Bm G on the muscle, skin and bone A G A G of some imaginary friend. D So how about it? A G Show me please how I will look in twenty years D C let me please interpret history Bm G in every line and scar A G A G thats painted there in front of me D A it doesnt matter what Im thinking G what I tell myself to do, D (I) end up calling D A Ill stay in to defrost the fridge, G now the kid has gone to bed, D feeling of dread, C Bm at least when shes around the trouble stops G its worse to wake up with her A G A G falling round the room D A listen johnny, youre like a mother G to the girl you have fallen for, D and youre still falling A listen johnny, youre like a mother G to the girl you have fallen for, D youre still falling C and if they come tonight, Bm youll roll up tight, G A and take whatevers coming to you now (G &A to end) Unless someone's just posted it, these tabs aren't on any sites. Is there any news as to when The Acid House comes out yet? The thought of hearing Belle and Sebby in Superdupa Nicam surround sound really turns me on! Incidently, I think the whole North/South thing's pretty much concluded. Anyone who watched BBC2 last night will now know that London is a violent hellhole plagued by gangs of strange, cultish mobile phone selling goths and beery working class men who stand on street corners all day and shout at cars. So there you are. Seb 'Yabby Creek or Belluga Bay? Who can be sure?' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

No no no no non nein. The only people I can see who'd possibly want there vinyl to crackle *wonderfully* are those who enjoy listening to Portisheads *Dummy* just for that little extra effect....and there aren't many of them outside of Bristol. Superman was far from perfect....wearing bright red underpants on the outside of your lycra leotard is either a diverse fashion statement or a fundamental design flaw...if he wasn't so *hard* they'd have locked him up years ago. The only vinyl I still have left are one's I believe may one day have a value attached cos I 'm a skinflint. Examples : Joy Division / New Order 12"s Stone Roses 12"s Oh and several Beatles monos which I lifted off of me mother. Keith Watson wrote his tuppence worth on the record debate. But what struck me by his message was all the gobbldeegook at the top.... Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable What does this mean ? Anyone..don't all rush. I just found it funny that he could write such filth in the subject field and then it come up with something *quoted-printable*. I take it the two ain't linked ? CD was indeed made for Screamadelica, and for one other album of that era...DM's *Violator*. Oh this is pish, anyone got any work for me to do ?

Sinister: Welshman

I don't quite see what this has to do with Linda or arsebiscuits, but in reply to your query, could you be thinking of Talfryn Thomas? He was pretty ubiquitous on the BBC in the seventies, appearing in several episodes of Doctor Who (The Green Death and The Claws of Axos, I think), Survivors and lots of other BBC dramas. He was pretty memorable, because he was a very stereotyped Welshman and had teeth like wonky tombstones. Is this who you mean? He was a joy to watch - very funny indeed. And I saw him once in Dad's Army.
