Sinister: Newt attack
by Nick Dastoor 13 Jul '98

13 Jul '98

Linda pondered: >Those following the goldfish / newt story will be shocked to learn >that Bob and Thelma (or Smelly and Belly) have had their first row - >one newt has savagely attacked the other, attempting to chew it leg >off. This is a plea for help. Is this normal in newt circles? >Should we separate them? >Any ideas, chaps? What do we do? Why not get HoneyPaul to vet all their actions for a month. They post their intentions to him and he replies yay or nay depending on the level of hostility implicit in the action. Alternatively, I did once hear that goldfish with whitespot or other debiliating illnesses can be revived by removing them from the tank and putting them in a saucer of brandy for a few seconds. I don't know if this is true, but if it is then it's bound to work with warring newts as well. Nick xxx _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

It is the best album in the world ever and much better than weedy old Tigermilk. Nick, who is very glad he didn't go to the picnic now, as he too thought it was on Sunday. He and Huw could have had a two-man spaz picnic of their very own, though. ___________________________________ Deep thought of the day: We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients.

Sinister: No good reason for it
by Reid Dossinger 13 Jul '98

>Maybe this is old news but at the record store I work at we called >Matador and they said the new B&S will be relesed September 3rd. In all my years of working at record stores, there was only one, ONE, record that wasn't released on a Tuesday and that was Van Halen's F.U.C.K., which was released on a Monday, and that was only because they wanted to give it an extra day of sales so it would debut at #1 (it did, if you're curious). So I'm going to tell you what I told (what feels like) millions of customers over the years: new releases, in the United States (in all 50 states at the same time, mind you), come out on TUESDAYS. Always. Unless it's an independent release, in which case it's release date is the time when the most organized member of the band manages to get it consigned. So, since we were told (we were) that the record will be released on the 7th (the 7th being a Monday, Monday being the traditional new release day in the U.K.), we could probably assume that the new B&S album will be released in the U.S. on Tuesday, the 8th of September. But I guess we'll all just have to wait until Katrina sets us straight. >As for a change in musical direction for Belle and Sebastian's new album, if >you listen to _Dog on Wheels_, _Tigermilk_, and _IYFS_, the songs always sound >like Stuart M's guitar with the added bits of the band. Gotta disagree with you on the Tigermilk one there. Some songs do sound like that (Expectations), but songs like "Mary Jo" and "My Wandering Days Are Over" are practically Pet Sounds outtakes. But maybe you're not talking about production, so I'll just shut up... But it does bring up a question I've been wanting to ask...my friend and I have a theory that the reason that Tigermilk has so many more elements and instruments is because, since they weren't paying for the studio and the record release, they could take their time and produce it more, but when they got around to making IYFS, they had more budget and time constraints and therefore had to make a, um, leaner album. Is this true, or was the sparseness of IFYS an artistic decision? Which wouldn't surprise me...I think I'm the only person on this list who prefers IYFS to Tigermilk (but just barely). Beginning to worry about my cat, Reid

Sinister: Picnic and ink polaroids
by Vicky Parkinson 13 Jul '98

13 Jul '98

I tried taking an ink polaroid of the London picnic on SAt. but it was the first I'd done, so you could just make out a group of about 15 cold but stuffed and getting pished bods in a circle under a few trees, while the rain bucketed down on Primrose Hill and a few souls braving the weather laughed at us while we fed their dogs sausage rolls and tourists took photos. We survived outside for 2 hrs before decamping to the pub. which i think was pretty impressive. Many thanks to David and Katrina for their organisational skills, and Rory for turning up in the pub later and suggesting we went to the Lava Lounge after - Stuart and I had an evening of fun just observing how many people in London have no individuality when it comes to dress sense whatsoever, or taste! Anyone fancy encorporating a picnic into the Finsbury Park gig the weekend after next? Vicky ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: I'm going to get you, Dastoor

Oh dear no picnic for me hungover again looking out at deluge outside hope it was fun. I promise I did not stay away through fear or being hit or molested by Mark. Did he transfer his affections to anyone else, I wonder? The little minx. I have crushes on lots of listees, but couldn't possibly spill beans. Is it just me and my little pony or has Sinister got v.v. good recently? Some ripper postings from old and new members alike. I say ripper. You say boss. Ripper, boss. Ripper, boss. Let's call the whole thing off. What's this about the duke of haringey living in Devon? I had no idea he wasn't really a philanthopic artisocrat helping kids escape the inner-city ghetto. Next you'll be telling me Prince Charles isn't Welsh. And Burt Lancaster was American. Anyway, can I third that Kinks recommendation of his. The Village Green Preservation Society is wonderful and so is Arthur, despite what Uncut says this month. Do not buy the soundtrack to the Dudley Moore film of the same name, however, as this is quite different and not good. It might be P!O!P!, but I don't know about such things. When I first heard 'The Stars of Track and Field' I came over it. No, sorry that's not right. What I meant to type was I came over all snooty and said to my friends "This is a rip-off of Shangli-la by the Kinks", which it isn't and I now feel like a silly boy for bunging up my ears with such pseudopophistoriansnob rubbish. Now I have seen the light and cancelled my subscription to Mojo. Shall we award a Belle and Sebastian golden shoe to the most entertaining listee of the last month? No, let's not. My nominations would be tainted by my crushes. But I think the FIFA fair play award should go to Peter Miller. Lithe Nick xx _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Sinister: LBGP, Zombies, Kinks and what's good for ya.
by AjAaDcAoMbs 13 Jul '98

13 Jul '98

Since no one has chimed in on the Look Blue Go Purple query with any depth, I shall undergo a brief synopsis. They were so good! Thank you, good night. They put out three 12"EPs in the late '80's that were compiled onto one CD in '91. The band was comprised of five women who have gone on to do equally lovely yet unknown recordings (from memory: The 3D's, Chug, Dead Pop Stars(?)) "Cactus Cat" is a good representation of their sound. Pretty yet subdued harmonies, mid-tempos, "poetic" lyrics. I imagine Flying Nun would still have copies of this lying around if you're feeling ambitious. I cannot recommend highly enough The Zombies "Odessey & Oracle." It's one of those records I never put away (much like B&S records). And compared with tracks like "Friends Of Mind" and "Changes" and "Care Of Cell 44," "Time Of The Season" is almost throwaway (it's just my opinion folks.) Strangely, I do not find their other recordings as appealing, but that may cange when I (eventually) buy the box set. Further echoing opinions of the Kinks: Yes Virginia, _Something Else_ and _Villiage Green..._ are most brilliant, but _Face To Face_ must be mention with them. Furthermore, _Kontroversy_ has many undeniably wonderful tracks. And the post-_Village..._ material is nothing to shake a stick at either. My interest tends to wane at about '72. Isn't that where Ray ends his stylisticly unique autobiography _X-Ray_? Hmmmm... It's nice that all the stuff is being (once again) issued on CD. I'll get to buy it for the third time. ~yay~ And kids, if you haven't bought your Snow Patrol singles yet, what're you waiting for?! You won't know how much you're missing till you've missed it.
