>cane 141 - scene from 6am >*northern irish band that reputedly sound a little like belle & seb* >Oh My God ! >Another band "that reputedly sound a little like Belle & Sebastian". >I don't believe anymore Cane 141 are actually from Galway which is in the West of the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland. They're good. The sound as if they've been quite heavily influenced by The Go-Betweens or maybe Microdisney, but not particularly Belle and Sebastian. ____________________________________________________________ Fin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Looking for hosts during the UK dates
by Andre Vieira 18 Jul '98

18 Jul '98

>FRIDAY 4th September 1998 > Leeds, Variety Theatre (capacity 500) > >SATURDAY 5th September 1998 > Nottingham, Marcus Garvey Centre (capacity 800) > >MONDAY 7th September 1998 > London, Shepherd's Bush Empire (capacity 2000) Yyyeeeessss!!! Now I just have to decide which date (or dates) will I go to. Leeds and Nottingham sound cosier, although the London gig will take place after the album comes out, which means I'd have the whole day to listen to it and memorize the lyrics. All I know is I *have* to see B&S live *at least* three times this summer. But it might be a bit too impulsive to choose these three before David & Katrina confirm all dates. I was also wandering if anyone in Leeds, Nottingham or London would be kind enough to let me stay over their house for a night or two, just so that I could cut down the expenses of the trip. I don't take up much room, have my own sleeping bag and, unlike Stuart M, I could even do your dishes. I also know some pretty good penis jokes, although none of them are about arab straps.

Sinister: Oh, I love you all!

Thanks for the birthday messages. I got loads of Beatles records to dance to. They're great. bethey and I celebrated my birthday yesterday and watched a Hard Day's Night, The Magical Mystery Tour and That Sinking Feeling, before going to see Grease at the cinema. It was great. We ate popcorn and everything. Anyway, wouldn't it be great if B&S made their own film, a la Hard Day's Night. I think it's a great idea. And isn't it exciting about the gig dates. Ho ho ho. The Leeds and Nottingham gigs are obviously arranged so that I can go to both. Is that selfish? Anyway, I'll go now. lots of love, jon g.

That's not my problem with the friggin song, people! I own They Might Be Giants' "Flood" and that cheese kicks the ass of this cheese. I hate it. right now, it's third on my music hate list: 1. Matchbox 20's "I want to know what it's like to be the rainmaker" song There are no words to describe how inane and shitty this song is. I've never telepathically sent death threats before to a song. I hate it when bands try to write crap lyrics like that trying to be incredibly deep when they don't even know what in the hell they are talking about. go ahead! Do it! Ask them the next time what they mean by "I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker/ I wonder what it's like to make the rain" and they'll stare at their shoes a while and look over at their manager for help. The music is incredibly plodding. Go make Coca Cola Gen-X jingles, you losers! 2. Semisonic's "closing Time" "I know who I want to take me home" repeated over and over again. then, over and over again. Only to be rewarded with the stupid end all "Go back to the places you will be from" Who in the hell wrote that? Yoda? "Go home he will, yes? Luke, closing time has come and father will come, he will...." 3. Barenaked Ladies "If I had a million dollars." It sounds like a commercial jingle and any song that sounds like a commercial jingle must be killed. It has created the greatest offense to us all by not bothering to distinguish itself from crap music old men in suits playing golf in their offices and thinking all 10 year olds skateboard, wear a walkman 24 hours a day, and say that everything is "Radical!" imagine the 18-34 age bracket identify with and would happily use in their next cat litter campaign! It's even worse that they sound exactly like studio singers you can hire and not credit on any given release. > I also think "The Boy With The Arab Strap" is a great name for the album, > if only because it will confuse all the music journos who insist on > writing about B&S as these twee, innocent, mother-loving types all the > time... > They aren't pulling people's ying yang with that title, are they? For them to be obviously ripping off a band's name like that is a bit.....obvious.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
