> >>the title of the album is "The Boy With The Arab Strap" > >I love it. Stuart gets his dirty album title fetish out his system at >last. Naive, sweet little jon doesn't know what an Arab Strap is (although he does know the band). Can anyone inform him without being too crude? ** my b&s moment of the day: now, i (being naive & brand new) looked up what an arab strap was: and ! heavens to betsy! it came with a complete guide and plenty of other toys to contemplate. i must say it was eye opening. incredible what the world wide web can do for your education. ta ta, thai-an xoxo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: morrissey
by Nicholas Joseph Marino 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

I've been quiet on the list thus far, but the recent offhanded Morrissey bashing has spurred me to jump in and make a stand in defense of the Moz.. I might first begin by spouting my surprise that so few on a mailer full of folks loving the lonely, displaced lyrics and happy pop of B&S seems to appreciate a pioneer in this very musical vein. At least Erin (of Tape Tree fame) threw out a "Kill Uncle" reference which, while not my fave, gave me a glimmer of hope that I wasn't alone. Those on the US tree had better brace themselves for a helthy dose of the man when my tape rolls around. Shoplifters of the world......where are you??

I don't really need to, do I? It was like a scene from Picasso's "Garden of Earthy Delights".... I hope the cover of the new album is an explanatory diagram of an "arab strap", because I'm still not sure what it is. It's for blokes who can't get their Flight Lieutenant to do the watuzi, isn't it? How rude! Frumious Bandersnatch, now there's a band I'd like to hear.... List crushes: Here are some I made earlier....Ooooon's grandmother, who I'm sure does a lot of voluntary work with unemployed elephants; Bethey's mum, mainly because of the Joe Strummer incident, I mean Thom Yorke didn't shout "got any unleaded, Northy baby?" did he?; Monica Queen, for her beautiful voice that only satan's spawn could possibly dislike; the girl in the purple frightwig; DIRTY PAULY because of his huge truck; erm..I'll get me coat as well.

Sinister: Toulouse
by Matthew Neimark 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

>certain smile, a certain sadness" is a must), Lenola, Toulouse >andStarflyer 59. Toulouse are a fantastic band. I wrote about them in the last issue of Creme Anglaise. They currently have a new single out (on Scotland's Tinseltone records). I haven't been able to hear it yet but it includes the song, "The Subway Section of Town" which is poppy, uplifting, and a sign of the times. Their first album, The Way the City Stretches was an atmospheric work. Also very good, but representative of an earlier stage of the band. Anyhow, indulge yourself in the single and you'll be in for a treat.

Sinister: Old threads and new. HA!
by James Errington 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

Someone wrote; > Arab Strap is not that great. It's nothing but bass and an > occasional squealy noise. damn. I want my money back. NO! Stick with it! You may not get it on the first go, but keep on listening and pay particular attention to the lyrics. I didn't like them at first, but they are, you could say, an aquired love. Someone else wrote; > Who is Gaz Top? Is he the Nobby the Sheep bloke? Gaz Top, for all americans etc is a 'quirky' childrens TV (science programmes mainly) presenter with (at the moment) ridiculous spiky blonde hair. ...and someone else wrote; > Blur, well they've just jumped around from scene to > scene trying to make it look like they'd invented eveey one of them. I > remember clearly Damon Albarn trying to claim he had "Killed Baggy" - Doh! > You daft bastard, you've just been on top of the pops dresssed up as the > Stone Roses! ....oh, come on, I think it's pretty fair to say that Blur invented "Britpop" at least. And, before you get on your high horse, we all make the occasional stupid comment - I bet B&S themselves cringe when they hear themselves on Mark Lamarr saying that they 'Only give out their address to birds' > Some of the bands had good careers after but to my mind only Ride stuck > to a similar formula. Nah, with ride it wasn't really a formula, just a mood. I still love Ride, contrary to the impression previously given, so if anyone wants to criticise them I'll take them on. Still, I'll not forgive Andy Bell for either Hurricane #1 or THAT Sun advert. > Stuart M sulks for three days Just a nice request - can people stop referring to Stuart as 'Stuart M' - As a huge Mogwai fanatic I always think for a second you mean Stuart Mogwai AKA pLasmaTron and am therefore put down to find you don't mean him at all. Thankyou. Jon g wrote > Anyway, I like Seeing Other People. So hands off. I like the slow version > as well. bethey prefers the sinister version. So there. Personally I love everything B&S have ever done, except... 1) I suppose the session 'Seeing other people' is a little out of tune 2) The new 'The State I Am In' is not nearly as good as the original, and therefore just makes me wast to listen to it 3) I think 'Beautiful' takes the whole twee thing a little too far. Just a little. 'Andrew Robertson' wrote... > usubscribe sinister .....and they say there is no justice in the world. Andrew, I hope you enjoy this e-mail! 'usubscribe' indeed! So, that's done with all those old threads, and onto a new one. I just bought a double A-side 7" single with Stereolab on one side and Fuxa on the other. I hadn't heard of Fuxa before, but I LOVE their track. Does anyone know anything about them? Ta!
