I forgot about it 'til I got your message, but I'm listening now and it sounds great. I'm on a T1, though, which undoubtedly adds to the experience. the visuals don't add much, but they are a nice touch...

Sinister: je suis une VERY STYLISH fille

"Sacrebleu" by DJ Dmitri, it is very good. And it has the song you heard on it. kinda loungy,sexxxy-boyee gallic styling Saint Etienne - I've said it before and dammit, *will* say it again - are one of my all time favorite P!O!P! groups. Their 1995 singles compilation "Too Young to Die" is a nice starting point, as it contains a varied sampling of their work. If you lean more toward the dance/techno side of things, purchase "Tiger Bay" or "Casino Classics" (a remix album). For pure pop fun I'd suggest "So Tough". Some of their best records are the fanclub-only releases, which are predictably harder to find. Their newest album isn't quite up to par, imho, but still pleasant. My offer to make a St Etienne mix for anyone interested in hearing more of their stuff still stands.

Even as I write I am enjoying the live Looper experience. A dalek disguised as The Blob was talking animatedly for a while (I'm sure I heard the word "pubic" followed by laughter) and now there's some plinky plonk music with some moving shapes. It's great and I can't wait to place my order for the single. Is that Tag in the corner of the screen? As Brad would say...technology sucks!

Duke said that I said: >Peter made some comments about the Brett Ashley recordings, and then made a >fax pass by mixing up Brett Ashley with the narrator of the Hemingway >classic 'the Sun Also Rises'. Brett Ashley was the chick who gets off with >the bull fighter dude, as if you need reminding ;-) Oh dear. I really have put my foot in it now. That book always makes me put my foot in it. I read the whole thing without realising that the narrator had in fact been parted from his testicles. Aaah the joys of youth. And the joys of a bird having two bloke's names. >yeah, i had to pay more than a fiver to that Fitchett bloke for that review, >i can tell you... i wonder how much Belle & Sebastian had to pay to get all >those glowing reviews? For anyone who hasn't read it, I feel I should point out that Mr Fitchett is actually quite reasonable about Duke's work, and doesn't make it out to be overly fantastic or anything. Just in case I had given the wrong impression. Personally, I am sure it is overly fantastic and would like to know how to do it. I've got a PC and two tape decks and I am musically illiterate too. > >nice to know someone reads the stuff anyway :-) > I always read it straight after Popgob.

>B&S content. You'll be wondering what a friend of mine said when confronted >with the much discussed handclaps on Lazy Line Painter Jane: >"Fuckin' 'ell, the Glitter Band must be shittin' themselves!" > >Peter You'd be interested to hear that the very same handclap pattern was used in their version of "He's got the whole world in his hands" - talk about recycling your clapped-out old riffs! Boom Boom. Dave's departure is indeed a sad one, I for one, have a black armband on today. Dave - do you fancy going out for a pint? Give me a mail and we'll go out to the pub. I am sure however he will rejoin the mailing list when he joins Boston. Peter, yeah I was reading the Tangents site recently and have my fingers deeply crossed hoping to win the prize of the Dancing in the Street videos, however I spent ages on the question trying to work out if the Subway Sect did No Fun, however the result is I don't know - so my answer was the result of many minutes of amateur psychology on Mr.Fitchett, as to whether he was "trainspottery" enough to not count Iggy Pop as having sung it. However, paradoxically, if, by a one in a million chance I win - you can keep the episode entitled "No Fun", cause I've already got that one.

Sinister: Hey Mister Fuzzy Wuzz!
by PJMiller 26 Jun '98

26 Jun '98

Not many messages today, eh? I knew Dave's departure would be keenly felt. Let's hope he joins up again when he's in Boston. I've just been reading some great stuff about the South West music scene on the Tangents site, including a glowing report of the Duke's solo project, written by some bloke called Alistair Fitchett. Whoever this Fitchett fella is, you must have slipped him a fiver, Duke. Isn't Brett Ashley the bloke who had his knackers replaced by a load of shrapnel in the war? Anyway, it's certainly whetted my appetite, and I shall be on the lookout for a copy down my local record store this afternoon. Then I shall squirm in front of the f**tb*ll before settling down to my first ever interactive internet gig. Loop were quite good in my opinion. It's true that they did only know one chord and I think they probably buckled under the weight of its complexity in the end. One of them is now managing (or something) our old friends Tindersticks. The only album of theirs I own is Heaven's End, the first one. It features samples from 2001 - A Space Odyssey. Infinity and Beyond seems to be where they were aiming for with their music but they got stuck at (insert amusing name here) services on the M1. Can't think where I've seen that "joke" before - probably something to do with Hawkwind. B&S content. You'll be wondering what a friend of mine said when confronted with the much discussed handclaps on Lazy Line Painter Jane: "Fuckin' 'ell, the Glitter Band must be shittin' themselves!"

>anyway, i don't see the point of nationalism at all, really. i mean, it has >nothing to do with you where you are born- its something thats wholly out >of your control, so how can anyone be proud of it? it's not something >you've earned or achieved, is it? Nationalism is a rotten trait, and Scots are certainly good at it as far as the English are concerned, same carry on though, it's generally a minority, I don't think it matters too much where footballs concerned, I don't even know if you can call it nationalism, seems like too strong a word, I'm happy to support Scotland as a football team, but I'm certainly not proud to come from here. For all this though I very much doubt whether anyone on this list would display any nationalist tendencies. Incidentally, Jimmy Hill was on Scottish telly just before the world cup started, and he was asked if he'd support Scotland under given cicrumstances and he pointed out that he'd support Scotland against Germany, cause we've fought Germany in two world wars. Daft bastard. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
