Sinister: Peter Sellers Factor
by PJMiller 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

Ha ha! Keithy-Weithy got told off! But not much, and hell, with al the love-making going on round here, who can blame them if someone loses their sausage from time to time? I would like to reverse recommend a book: "Red Dirt Marijuana" by Terry Southern. It's got some good bits all right, but on the whole I'm a little disappointed. The same goes for my latest musical purchase: "After the Fox" by Burt Bacharach. It's got some good bits all right, in fact it hasn't got any bad bits, but it's only 33 minutes long! What a bleedin' liberty! Any numbers top ten must contain 147 and Double Top Tommy, as well as 78, the correct length in minutes of a compact disc, preferably as part of a double set that retails for the price of a single disc. Paul, despite my best efforts to ruin it, I still like the list. And Duke, your clever disguise didn't fool anyone. Incredible club indeed! As far as I'm aware only two listees have actually been to the Living Room, and one of them is busy drinking beer. Adrian, it's down to you to give us an eyewitness report of the shady goings on in downtown Exeter's premier Sunday nightspot. While you're at it, could you please include another casual reference to "your Kate", as I've thought of a fantastic joke. Unfortunately I didn't think of it until after I'd posted that rather half-hearted one the other day. I promise you won't be disappointed, it really is hilariously funny, but I need your help to make it look spontaneous, otherwise it won't be quite as funny. Right, thanks.

i might be inclined to agree with you on this point, if not for the fact that the album version of the track serves merely as a buildup or prelude to the absolutely amazing heart-stopping rendition from the radcliffe sessions. seamus > -----Original Message----- > From: Adrian Evans [SMTP:aevans@env-dept.devon-cc.gov.uk] > Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 1998 4:26 PM > To: 'Sinister' > Subject: Sinister: Major Crisis > > >5.

Well, seeing as there are a few MBV fans out there... you could do worse than check out Medicine... they're from the US. - kind of the same thing as MBV, but more pop and less soul.........

Sinister: Nit-picking at the very few bad parts of B&S

> And onto Seeing Other People - I have yet to find anyone who agrees with > me, but I reckon that apart from the words, it's perhaps the weakest B&S > song by quite a long way. The melody just doesn't grab me You're kidding, right? If you have any doubt that Seeing Other People is one of the most perfect songs ever, play it on guitar, including the crucial Am to A (A#m to A#, in actuality) at the "hand over the window" part. It's undeniable. Perfect, perfect, perfect. And the production is perfect, too. I love the piano bit. And the doubled vocals at the "You're kissing your elbow" part...oy. But unlike most other people, I actually really like Electronic Renaissance. If you want REAL controversy, here it is: We Rule The School is pretty much my least favorite song of all of the official released stuff. I love the music, but I just can't get over "For anyone to read and to see". To read AND see?!! And as pretty as it is, did the world really need another take off of Pachelbel's Canon? The Farm proved that *that* was a bad idea years ago. > I love the slow R1 session version of 'Seeing Other People' too, in > which Belle and Sebastian manage to recreate the halcyon sound of the > Velvet Underground circa 1968. But it must have its detractors too as > it only scores about 6 in the voting booth. I am one of those detractors. I believe I gave it a two. It's amazing how such a great song can sound so bad. Am I the only one who's bothered by how off-key ALL THREE of them are? The idea of doing is slow is good, and I love the end bit (where no one's singing), but they just didn't pull it off. Maybe with a little more practice, it can live up to it's potential. > The part where he sings > "You never know/because you never show it/you always get your way" sounds > exactly like "Charles in Charge/ of our days/ and our nights". Wow. That's amazing. Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts theme AND the theme to Charles in Charge! On the same album! That said, the chances of any member of B&S having even HEARD of Charles in Charge are pretty slim. But I strongly feel that the worst thing Belle and Sebastian have ever done, and the only thing of their's that I don't at least *like* is Hurley's Having Dreams. Really, they were drunk, right?
