when i was in paris the only 2 stores i got to were the virgin megastore on the champs elysees (yay commercialism! but its actually where i got if youre feeling sinister) and naya musique on the rue de mouffetard in the 5th (where i got 36 grands succes de francoise hardy, 16 grands succes de francoise hardy (very few of which are the same) and mothers heaven by texas which is awful but hey whatever...) i also give the store bonus points for running around trying to find me some nusrat fateh ali khan stuff... matt (i found somebody today who LIKES the able tasmans) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re: Salako
by andrew dean 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

katrina talking about salako: >There is also a chance to catch James from the band live on the air >tomorrow (Thursday, June 11th) at the end of BBC Radio One's Evening >Session during the Live Music Update (8.30pm), so all of you who met >James at the London Belle and Sebastian picnics can hear his first bit >of promo ... and giggle! well, yes, giggle i did. and then worry about whether that was the wisest thing for him to do. for those of you that didn't hear it (and even if you were listening to the radio at the time you'd've had trouble cos it was only a few seconds long) he started going on about how they are influenced not only by the music that they hear but by everything around them, the crickets, the foxes, the little birdy wirdies, it quite reminded me of keith. the first two words that came to my mind, well, one of them was 'hippy'. the phrase 'career suicide' sprang to mind too having lived through the music press' savaging of the whole sarah records catalogue as fey and, therefore, worthless. their loss. (um, the title 're-inventing punctuation' also sounds a lot like 're-inventing penicillin', a track from sarah 83 by the sugargliders. what me, anal?) musically though, if that was salako they were playing in the background during the piece (which, like i say, was criminally short), then they sounded great. andy btw, that lamppost that james climbed up so valiantly on the top of primrose hill at the picnic (photo in the archive, the one that looks a lot like that famous one of american soldiers raising the flag on iwa jima (spelling?)), i'm pretty sure the very same post is the one in the advert for sky movies that's airing currently, the one with odd people reciting lines from films, specifically the bit with the old woman saying 'show me the money'. re: scotland. it's del amitri i feel sorry for. whereas all the songs recorded by the other countries in the world cup (apart from usa and iran who don't apparently have world cup singles available) tend towards the victorious, scotland seems to have adopted the cautious approach with 'don't come home too soon'. and after the other day that doesn't look like happening. i wonder if they'll shoot boyd when he returns to scotland like they did to that colombian? or will he get to star in a pizza ad? i'm joking, of course. don't hate me. some of my best friends are scottish. um, that's a lie actually - i don't have any friends. football highlight so far has been the way that itv abbreviates the team names to 3 letters for its on-screen captions so morocco vs norway the other day became MOR vs NOR. looking forward to seeing MOR vs ROM. and SCO vs CRO. i have austria in the office sweepstake. 8( got 7 copies of the friday review section with my guardian this morning. how queer... will see some of you at the social tonight. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: No B+S I am afraid!!!
by Anna_Chapman＠idg.com 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

Hi everyone, Firstly may I apologise to everyone especially PAUL!!!! for the lack on B+S content in this mail. I just couldn't resist expressing my frustration and asking for a request!!!! Why oh why does the world cup have to dominate not only every TV set but the mind of every male as well. Why is my boyfriend who doesn't normally have any interest in football suddenly glued to the television with the room in darkness, a can in his hand and me banned from speaking. What is it about the world cup that it is able to capture so many brains. Please someone tell me the secret, prehaps then I could make mny other halp obsessed with taking me out of cleaning the house!!! Anyway my request is that please could this be the one and only world cup message to find its way on to the list. Could it really be a plpace where we talk about good music and cool things not mindless men with silly little balls!!! ...... And we all love vindaloo! Thankyou!

Sinister: Football
by Keith Watson 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

This whole football malarky is simple. It's great, it's a simple as that. And it's the world cup. We just got beaten by Brazil, essentially cause of an unlucky deflection off of Tom Boyd's chest into the goal from the Brazilian cross, oh well, unlucky, unlike what Evans says about Scotland, we played well, simple as that. Darren Jackson was on the telly yesterday (who's a Scotland player) pointing out that maybe it'd have been a draw if Boydy hadn't been so fat - which I thought was good to at least have a laugh about the game, we got beaten by the world champions - no bloody surprise there. What worries me is that it looks like Morocco are a brilliant team. Yes it looks like Scotland will not progress to the second round, still Adrian's point about us being bollocks doesn't really stand, in a country of about 6 million people, we do very well to even qualify - and your team's shit... by the way. Someone Said : >> not only did I have to wake up at 7.30 to invigilate an exam, but I was >> woken up by Radio one playing the commentry of Tommy Boyd's goal yesterday. >> What a great start to the day!! And then Dave said : >He was much better on the Wide Awake Club. Sorry Dave, this is an old joke. Slightly modified, ironically Zoe Ball said it the other morning, that he was much better on Magpie. You were on the wide awake club weren't you? I remember my little brother pointing it out one day. Cheers, Keith. ps: London list people, some of us are out for a night out in Glasgow this weekend, so I hereby declare a competition to see who can have the most fun. Reports on Monday morning please. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Through the Olive (from On The Buses) Trees
by PJMiller 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

I had the misfortune of seeing it at the Dublin Film >Festival and it's this sort of plotless humourless junk that give foreign >films a bad name Unless you're a plotless humourless Iranian...I once sat through an entire season of Islamic (or Islam-related) films, one of which was the same director's Through the Olive Trees, which also featured a Range Rover (surely no accident?). I thought it was a lovely film, there's a whole section that you have to sit through twice, totally freaky, and it's got as nice an ending as you could hope for. Either I didn't know it was from Iran or I had forgotten. All hail the conquering genius of Abbas Kiarostami. It should appeal to B&S fans as well, as it is a clumsy love story in the Gregory's Girl mould. Sort of. Another goodie from that season was El Bab Boo Bob City or something, which touches on the importance of P!O!P! in a rather unusual manner. But the best one was a short film about a little boy who can't get past a big dog in an alley and eventually has to give the dog some bread. All to the groovy sounds of Ob La Di Ob La Da in a proto loungecore style. In glorious black and white. >If anyone knows of record shops in Paris/Toulouse/Bordeaux could they please >let me know. I'm heading over next week for a couple of games, being one of >the jammy sods who got through on that hotline. Are you going to that Saudi Arabia - South Africa game I've got my eye on? My envy knows no bounds. Bulgaria were funny today, weren't they? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
