Pretty much ditto. I too lay claim to some tenous Scottish ancestory (my grandparents are from Raasay) and would be quite happy to share a beer, a laugh, a sigh and a tear with my adopted Caledonian cousins. I'll even attempt my appaling Glasgow accent to blend in seamlessly, thus avoiding any Sassanach-bashing "Hush ya wheest or I'll gi ya something t'greet aboot". Oh and I promise not to show my genital trophy under my kilt..... > Count me in... Stay lucky Roryxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Anna, beat him at his own game, become a total fanatic, cheer louder than him, have trivial facts and figures at your fingertips, sing "You're not singing, you're not singing, you're not singing, you're not singing anymore" and "Who are ya?" at the opposition. Fall inexplicably in love with the man with the worst hair in the Bulgarian team. And laugh yourself silly when Germany beat England on penalties. Again.

Sinister: Hello from a new sinisteree
by Kevan Cooke 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

You're a chatty lot aren't you! I've just arrived fresh from the Tindersticks mailing list where it's all doom and gloom and discussions on whether Nick Cave or Tom Waits is more fun. They like the Arab Strap album over there. I did my best to make sure that B&S got a frequent mention. And Serge Gainsbourg (Hi Julien). And Momus. Talking of Momus did any UK subscribers see the article in todays Guardian about Japanese music? How they failed to mention Momus I don't know. They even had a few words from Cornelius who wrote the music for "Le Roi Soleil" which Momus penned the lyrics for, and who used to be Kahimi Karie's boyfriend. And they mentioned the new Pizzicato Five album which features a remix (and sleeve notes) by Momus. Anyway, the introduction. I enjoy my B&S accompanied by a well made cocktail. I moved down to Hampshire from Manchester last December just in time to miss the B&S gigs :( and now work for an alcoholic drinks company in Southampton :) My advice to Claire and Adrian is to drink rum. Good luck to everyone who's in the middle of exams. Sorry, but I can't see Scotland qualifying for the second round. Kevan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: lame kraftwerk parody
by jj heldmann 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

>industrial-breakbeat-with-interpretive-dancing than I did at >Komputer's lame Kraftwerk parody. oh what an oportune moment...i JUST got home from seeing a most non-lame kraftwerk in concert and i just have to say that it was well worth the $28 ticket - hell, it was worth two or three times that price. "tour de france" live with fabulous footage of old tours on 4 screens (my cycling crazy boyfriend was trying to point out all the racers to me but it was much to loud lucky for me) and trans europe express and computer love and pocket calculator and robots complete with the kraftwerk robots and neon tubing suits and oh my. it was just the best two hours of the year...decade even. i am a happy happy girl... sorry for the complete lack of b&s content. xo jj ******************************************** fantastic po box 4492 ann arbor mi 48106 usa www.mindspring.com/~initialgirl/fantastic ******************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

It's so bad that everyone with similar musical interests to me always live somewhere else. Damnit. But don't you see that playing in bands that what you describe is truly the backbone of rock? Not that it's populated by engineers or that would be scary, but people who get together for the hell of it and jam! Rock music is the only form of entertainment where you can be a bad singer or not know your instrument and yet are still considered good. Nobody gives a damn about proficiency as long as you rock. people in this town that I'm in have completely forgotten that. to them, it's all about demo tapes and who you know. They've completely forgotten the idea of getting people together for the hell of it because Austin is becoming a place where too much is at stake. I remember reading a biography on the Smiths and was amused to learn that Johnny Marr went several years without owning an amp. Here, everyone has in-home recording studios, a CD release on their own label, and looks strictly at your work references. They don't even want to waste their time auditoning someone they've never heard of to join a line up. They're going right for the throat as far as success is concerned, but they overlook the most important things such as talent, ideas, and having fun. I don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it makes me sick that many people have forgotten what it is to be a performer and want to go strictly for the juggular. yeah, I admit I want the same, but as far as I'm concerned, I want to have a playlist of many songs and try them out before and audience and then I'll rush to a studio. who doesn't want success? It sucks to be kicking around in front of half interested audiences, but really, I'd rather earn my respect than have it earned for me by MTV and then be a trivia question in a bar as "this one hit-wonder wrote..." several years on. Luckily, I have been doing that and it feels good that people ask me what I'm doing or when I'm playing just because they want to. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Sebadoh
by Mark.Suppanz＠centigram.com 12 Jun '98

<<<Does anybody have the most recent Sebadoh album, and if so is it worth buying.>>> If you're talking about Harmacy, absolutely. Though I think a good 1/3 could've been edited out, Lou's songs "On Fire", "Perfect Way", "Ocean", and especially "Willing To Wait" (my choice for song of the year!) are worth the price 10 times over.

Chris Browning's Dilemma: >"the avenues and alleyways". this last song has driven me MAD i KNOW it >so well as a ITC theme tune or something but i just can't place it. at all. i >have driven my corridor mad by replaying it hoping for some clue or other but >NOTHING! anybody out there now what it is? i'm going SPARE with frustration! That would be "Avenues & Alleyways" The theme from The Protectors performed by easy listening superstar Tony Christie. I believe his suaveness Roger Moore might have been in that show. Keith's welcome wagon rolls out: >Hello I live in Edinburgh, come and meet up with us sometime. Perhaps we'll >arrange a going to the pub thing soon, maybe even Dave (Roddney) will come. >I'm sure Mr.Laird will be the first to point out that you should come to the >Egg (that of course would be if I hadn't just said it there) I wasn't going to say anything. Those who seek the fun shall be drawn there. It's gone awful quiet on the list of late. No more bulging mailboxes for me. Would the reason for this be the expulsion into the cruel summer sun of all you bloody students, internet privileges denied for the next three months? Mind you I've not been posting much myself lately. Wish they would bloody hurry up and release the new album - my hair's going grey. Yawn.....I'm bored. The Lairdster.
