Sinister: NYC picnic - sometime soon ??
by Christopher ~N~ Oram 19 Jun '98

19 Jun '98

Sorry to clog up the list, but this is an attempt of sorts to create our own little NYC June Sinister picnic ( without the organisational qualities of Megan, where will we get ?) Thanks to Leslie and Emily I have decided that we really ought to make an effort. Unfortunately, I let my digests stack up a mile high until now, and so missed Leslie's posting of the Autour de Lucie shows. I went on Tuesday (before Pulp) and on Wednesday. What did you think ? ( You were not wearing that maroon glitter shirt ! ? ) Anyway, I should be at Fez on Saturday. Summer solstice would have been perfect for a picnic, but I guess that it is too short notice to arrange. So, let me know of what you think, as well as any ideas as to when and where we should hold it. E-mail me directly ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: there's no shame in it these days
by PKHINTZ＠aol.com 19 Jun '98

19 Jun '98

Tuesday night I saw Pulp in New York City. As for B&S content, some of you may remember Pulp being pinned against B&S in a review of some sort. And I do recall reports of Mr. Cocker being at the Union Chapel concert back last summer. I had my B&S badge on my bag at the show, but Jarvis was unable to pick it out from the crowd of a few thousand people in the dark. That proves he must be a regular person with regular capabilities afterall. B&S live would seem more at home in a small club, or a living room (better yet--the Duke's Living Room club); Pulp needed a large stage to fill up with their glorious noise. However being in a large club meant that I did not see a certain someone with a purple B&S t-shirt of the two kids until after the show in a crowd on the sidewalk. Just wondering if this person is on the list. If you are, hello; if you aren't, then everyone else ignore this. There's no shame being a B&S fan these days--at least not on this mailing list! :-) Living and loving Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Roundtree
by Richard Hutt 19 Jun '98

19 Jun '98

>oh goodness, i can remember when they said that the max was five and that >anything more than five was an album. i think back then the groove farm >complained. Is that the Groove Farm that used to live next door to me on Compton Avenue? They had a flute, as I recall, and did not especially impress my mum. Entirely selfish and non B&S related question...Scottish listees, or those associated, especially those knocking about C. 1986 (pun purely unintentional) - a shot in the dark, but does anyone know whatever became of Angela C.R. Dickson? I lost her at some point in 1988, and always wondered. Evening all. I'm off to see Richard Roundtree. Really.

Sinister: Actually vaguely sort of relevant shocker
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 18 Jun '98

18 Jun '98

Sorry, if this has already been posted. I know quite a few people on this list have been bewitched by the magic of Nick Drake; on Saturday, there's a programme on Radio 2 all about his life, with interviews with famous fans and that. It's at 7 pm, and I'll be taping it if anyone wants it. It's worth listening to even if you're not a fan, as they're bound to play some of his stuff, and as has been pointed out, Drake sounds fairly like our beloved Stu M, even if the band 'can't bear to listen to him'. (I think it's all an elaborate smoke screen actually- (Hazy Jane/Lazy Jane Mary Jane/Mary Jo? Mmmm.) BTW, is anyone else going to T in the Park? In an attempt to heal the growing rift between the London and Glasgow 'crews' Me and my Hairy Friend are going up for a little Holiday in Glasgow and then the festival, and it would be nice to put faces to the names. Not many Scottish bands playing this year, are there?:-( Oh, and if there are any young, unemployed actors on the list, they might do well to look at the site below. In a sad attempt to become famous, I've set up a production company, named appropriately enough Pish, and I need actors, crew etc. Right, I've abused the list enough now. Bye Bye Seb.

Sinister: Joke stuff here... warning absolutely no B+S content
by Keith Watson 18 Jun '98

18 Jun '98

Some of you may well have seen this as I suspect it's been on humour newsgroups, but I thought it was dead funny and feel it should be shared. The story behind the letter below is that there is this nutball in Newport, RI named Scott Williams who digs things out of his backyard and sends the stuff he finds to the Smithsonian Institute, labeling them with scientific names, insisting that they are actual archaeological finds. This guy really exists and does this in his spare time! Anyway...here's the actual response from the Smithsonian Institution. Bear this in mind next time you think you are challenged in your duty to respond to a difficult situation in writing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Smithsonian Institute 207 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20078 Dear Mr. Williams: Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "93211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post...Hominid skull." We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago. Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety that one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be "Malibu Barbie." It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain hat those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings. However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to its modern origin: 1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone. 2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-homonids. 3. The dentition pattern evident on the skull is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with the ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time. This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that: A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on. B. Clams don't have teeth. It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon-dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in its normal operation, and partly due to carbon-dating's notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon-dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results. Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundation Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name Australopithecus spiff-arino. Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it might be Latin. However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a Hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your Newport back yard. We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nation's capital that you proposed in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing youexpand on your theories surrounding the trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrix that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench. Yours in Science, Harvey Rowe Chief Curator -Antiquities
