Sinister: Let the album title riots begin...

> >the title of the album is "The Boy With The Arab Strap" > > Not the best name for the album is it? Isn't it just going to make people > associate B&S with Arab Strap more? If they wanted to name it after a track > title, "It Could Have Been A Brilliant Career" or "Simple Things" would have > been a more fitting title. Well said. Either one of those would have made perfect album titles. Although, on second though, "Simple Things" might have been a little obvious. But "A Brilliant Career" would have been a great album title. But I see through B&S's little album title scheme. What's happened is that they've completely sold out and this album title is just a cheap attempt to lure the unsuspecting legions of Arab Strap fans into buying the album, thereby guaranteeing a #1 debut on both sides of the Atlantic. Meanwhile, the Arab Strap fans will have been duped into buying an album with (shudder) singing and melodies and precious few mentions of drug binges, and will end up bawling into their heroin spoons, diluting the mix and spoiling a perfectly good hit. I hope Stuarts and co. are happy with themselves! >Anyone here like Frente? > N.Z band aren't they? Australian...Melbourne, I'm pretty sure. I wasn't crazy about either one of their albums, but The Labour of Love EP is fifteen minutes of some of the most beautiful music ever. I wish they had stayed on that path... I'm still reeling from the brilliance of those Sleep the Clock Around lyrics. I had pretty much every word wrong. I have a date with my, um, five-string when I get home.

There it goes again. 95% of the guys I attract are computer programmers and engineers! I don't even bother asking what their occupation is anymore, and I think once I actually said "you're in computers, right?" Is it because my dad programs computers that I know how to speak the language? Then again, austin is a huge computer mecca, but the arty type automatically assume I'm a nice, run of the mill girl that you'd shamefully want to bring home to your parents. A friend of mine said that I look "pleasant" (whatever that means). Now, the arty hippies will talk to me when they see that I have a guitar.

Sinister: new contacts et al.
by Alex Tobin 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

'ello there. yes, for everyone halfway in-the-know and halfway interested, i have indeed made it over to rainy european shores (no texan heatwave pour moi!). now that i am living in holland (right near the german and belgian borders), i am more than hopeful to make some new acquaintances via this-here list. so, if anyone lives within a spitting distance from me, please drop me a line, as i'm always good for a lark or two. oh, and isabel from koeln, i've sent you a message or two... are you still around. silly me lost your number again... it's true. so, please please please someone give us a buzz, won't you. hell, i'll even settle for folks from blighty, as i make it over there from time to time. p.s. now a question that will cause me to lose some credibility and arouse bewilderment, but does anyone besides me like van morrison? just listening to 'the philosopher's stone' and thought i'd pop that one in there. cheers! @lex! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: unfavourites
by Girl Racer 16 Jul '98

16 Jul '98

>I >don't much like "You Made Me Forget My Dreams." The only good part of that >song is the little reward at the end when it suddenly gets funky. o i just love that song. it is so bittersweet. by the way i was meaning to ask if anyone knows why they did do that electronic sounding part at the end? i always turn the volume way up for "you made me forget..." and then i have to turn it down for that part cause it gets really loud and makes my ears start to bleed. almost. as for my least favourite b&s song (there aren't many) i don't usually listen to "century of elvis" i think just cause it's spoken and not a song. (just a preference) but now i have to make up for that by saying that i REALLY like "seeing other people"... whoever was saying it was fun playing that on guitar is right, although i would'nt know, but it's certainly fun to play on bass. oh i learned "dog on wheels" last night. whoohoo. i think us S.F. people need to think about hving another picnic or something. and if anyone plays guitar we should do that too. wow i posted something about belle & sebastian. this is a good day. also i got the new Rialto album! anyone who doesn't have it should go out right now and buy it!! tasha -- Tasha Wedeen tasha(a)pixar.com http://www.geocities.com/~girlracer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
