Sinister: A crack on the head
by Northy 15 Jul '98

15 Jul '98

To dear Sarah and to make sure the list doesn't see Ultrasound in a different light.... > They are HORRIBLE, DULL, BORING and gary Glitter went to seed ages ago, Aha, but have you seen them live? It was a truly magical performance. If you have only heard the records, which I admit are above average at best, you have not experienced Ultrasound. Nothing personal taken btw! > You poncey little indie kids Hey! What about you? But I'll change it just for you :) bye Northy _____________________________________________________ look here (a different thread) OK so. I have Meat is Murder which is nice except for the pointless and dreary title track. I mainly bought it 'coz it had How Soon is Now? on. I know there is 'The Smiths' album but what's the title of the other album. I am sure they did five. How's about anonymous B&S faxes? Just send your companies (that you dilligently work for) in to the list and we can send you pictures of foxes and snow and such. It might confuse your boss but who knows what fun we could have (none most likely). I agree, Feeder are shite but not so sure about the Manics. What do Welsh bands have about selling out though? Anyone here like Frente? I have them on my completed tape tree tape and they are fab. Sort of like Heather from the Sundays with an accomplish acoustic guitar backing. If they had had a full band they would've been great me thinks. Any Forest fans out there? I'll see you there at Arsenal and we'll bring Mr. Petit back down to size (pun very much intended) Top Ten Most Successful International Football Teams 1. Brazil 2. Germany 3. Italy 4. Argentina 5. France 6. Czech Republic 7. England 8. Holland 9. Denmark 10. Uruguay anyways bye Northy ______________________________________________________ "If home life wasn't unsatisfactory, we'd never leave" the Breakfast Club - 1984 ________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Ultrasound? Hmm. Feeder? Ugh.
by Stanleyboy＠aol.com 14 Jul '98

14 Jul '98

Yes, Ultrasound do spout some bollocks and Melody Maker even more so. But the fact remains that Ultrasound are one of the brightest new bands in british music at the moment. For a start they look different... which is quite refreshing, and they (from what I've heard so far) write good songs. Also, I'd side with you about the Manics, but Feeder!? They're a washed up load of grunge toss if I ever heard it. Remember kids: Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. <g> -Paul- Stanleyboy(a)aol.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: "Century of Elvis" and other punishments
by Reid Dossinger 14 Jul '98

Mr. Kitchen wrote: > which is weird, as i would swear blind that if you listen closely to 'elvis' you can hear stuart > murdoch warbling 'fakers'! Oh, you can hear it alright, esp. at the beginning when the music drops out and Stuart singing, "There are people going hungry..." Of course, it sounds like the vocals have been mixed out and all you can hear is the reverb (natural though it may be). And I'll say, again, that it seems pretty obvious to me that "Fakers" was written first and then they decided to do "Elvis" for fun. But the problem with this list is that there's probably someone out there who knows for sure and will tell me I'm wrong in a wholly uncalled-for humiliating style. Sigh... Oh, and I've got an idea for the Supreme Honey: whenever anyone sends a request to the list to be unsubscribed, you should not only make sure that they stay ON the list, but that they get every letter sent to them four times. How long this punishment should last is up to you. Beligerently Reid ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I know I'm being a little vague here, but think of your favorite B&S songs and consider if any of your favorite authors or books make you feel the same way -- dreamy, dissatisfied, displaced, perhaps slightly lonely.>> A couple of months ago someone started a thread with this very same question. Eventually the list of recommended books got to around 100, and a girl who kept track of all the suggestions - I don't know if she's still subscribed - sent me a copy of the final list.

Sinister: Ultrasound Ultrasound, YOU're GOOD YOU're GOOD
by Sarah 14 Jul '98

14 Jul '98

Northy Quoted... "Gary Glitter's gone to seed so who will lead us now?" Tiny, 1998 I hate Ultrasound, I think they are overhyped rubbish! In the Makers "100 Reasons why British Pop is better than ever", when you saw ULRASOUND as the best reason, who else phsyically felt the CLANG!!!! They are HORRIBLE, DULL, BORING and gary Glitter went to seed ages ago, has NO RELEVANCE AT ALL TO ANYTHING WHATSOEVER, I hate HIM and I HATE Ultrasound too!! DIE!!! Nothing personal Northy. :) It's slightly better than Catatonia I supose..,no its not. Don't worry lovey. You'll get over it in time when the music press forget Ultrasound exist, which hopefully should be very soon. And as for those...Guitar Solos? You poncey little indie kids pretending to be into this "Rock Music" is so IRONIC!!! isn't it?? You'd be beaten up for your comments round my metal loving pals way y'know. They don't beat me up cos I LOVE the Manics and like Feeder, even though they shall never stop me insulting Smashing Pumpkins or One Inch nails and Eight Inches Ego.... I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!

Sinister: Catty time
by Mark Casarotto 14 Jul '98

14 Jul '98

I haven't been bitchy for a while - indeed, some of you may never have witnessed this rare event (Stephen Gardiner, don't even think about opening your mouth...), but I need to say a couple of things. Firstly, I'm worried that Ciflux's desire to learn more about reading material may spur some of the more pompous among you to go for more cred points by recommending particularly cool/obscure tomes which are probably not much cop anyway. Do you think you could do this privately if you have to? Secondly, re those people who try and unsubscr ibe via the list. I think these people should not only not be allowed to leave us (once you're one of us, you're one of us for life. We demand ultimate loyalty - now go, bring me the head of Nick Dastoor on a silver platter), but also deserve all the "witty" jibes we can throw at them. I was never a bully at school - it's obviously something I need to get out of my system. Enough already. Markiavelli. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: My Iron Maiden top 10
by Shaft 14 Jul '98

14 Jul '98

How could you forget the Maiden classic "Be Quick or Be Dead"?! Whoops, I shouldn't have said that - I'm giving away my high school metal days that I swore off a few years ago. Or does the ode to Robert Fripp in my address do that instead? Anyways, what's making me most anxious right now is the burning question of whether we may see B&S here on the West Coast, rather than my anticipation of the new album. The new album is guaranteed; live B&S west of the Mississippi isn't. I know we have enough fans out here to warrant an appearance, even if I'm responsible for most of the ones I know (except for Courtney, who has the uncanny ability to find these groups on her own). Take Care- Andy #:-) P.S. This is an old subject, but I also heard Stuart M's similarity to Ray Davies right away. P.P.S. Anybody else looking forward to a great September due not only to new B&S, but also because of new Beth Orton? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
