Sinister: Which Kay Thompson? (I'll try to be sad either way)
by HoleRole＠aol.com 12 Jul '98

12 Jul '98

> She was Maggie Prescott the fashion magazine editor in Funny Face and >one of the few who could be noticed when next to Audrey Hepburn. Please >honour her passing fellow listees and Think Pink. Was the Kay Thompson who just passed away also the writer of "Eloise", the childrens book about a little girl living in the plaza hotel. I love that book. Anyone else ever read it? Illistrated childrens books are great (although now I use my younger sister as an excuse to take them out of the library). Anyone ever heard of Graeme Base? He's an Australian painter who's done some great work. I highly reccomend it to anyone who enjoys that sort of thing (even if they have to use a younger sibling or some other young child as an excuse to enjoy it).

Dear Nicola, Nice to hear from you at T in the park? You said you'd get in touch when you got back, did you enjoy it? Were the bands good? Who was best? Did you see Dave?

Sinister: 10 Roddington Place

"Jarvis" on Looper. And "Jarvis": >well, i really love it. It's strange, but the record really reminds me >of me, if that doesn't sound too conceited. It's like, well, it sounds >for all the world like a little segment of a Duke's Living Room set, >with some blips and slow beats and then some break beats and a spoken >word thing over the top. I haven't heard the record, but I have heard Looper over the Internet, and yes, they reminded me of myself as well, insofar as they sounded bloody terrible and kept stopping and starting. Stuart's stories, particularly Impossible >Things, are lovely understated pieces, and really remind me of the short >pieces we used to stick in the LR booklets, not that anyone read them, >but whatever. I've read some of them. My favourite is the Manifesto, especially the suggestion that anyone who wants 4/4 beats all night should bugger off down the shops and buy a Cream LP. I'm paraphrasing, of course. The only story I can remember off the top of my head is about a bloke sitting on a bench that says "arab strap". I mean that has "arab strap" written on it, it doesn't actually say "arab strap" out loud, although that would probably be quite good, can you imagine the look on the bloke's face? Sheer Heart Attack or what? Anyway, seeing as I'm not going to get the Looper single, what I thought I'd do is read that story out loud over a bit of that drum'n'bass tape you sent me (which I really like now, I'm Squarepusher too) and record it as a kind of substitute, back to their roots, Looper record. Anybody want a tape? It's just weird is all... and really nice to feel that >maybe someone somewhere else has a similar sensibility or something. I know just what you mean. The same thing happened to me when I discovered Isaac Hayes a couple of years ago. Jon G - you might like Echo and the Bunnymen, the first two Billy Bragg albums and some albums by The Fall, such as This Nation's Saving Grace, as well as Orange Juice. Of course, you might hate them, but those are some of the things I liked when I was around about your age. Well, I'm not sure how old you are, but this kind of thing kept me company through the sixth form. In fact I was so impressed by Mark E. Smith that I once refused to analyse poetry because I'd heard him saying it was a bad idea on the radio. The teacher must have thought I was a complete twat. But I digress: I used to use and abuse the local record library, if you've got one of those nearby, it's a good way to get to listen to new stuff dead cheap. When I say "new" I mean stuff that you haven't heard before, because most of it's really old. Keith was a prefect, eh? I don't want anybody's address, you can all breathe a sigh of relief. I've got Paul's and it's him I'm after. He might wake up to find a goldfish's head in the bed one day. I'd forgotten about that tape he was going to do me. love, Mad Frankie Miller ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Yeah, I don't know
by Andre Vieira 12 Jul '98

12 Jul '98

I was listening to "You're Just A Baby" earlier today and I heard this funny "yeah" that I hadn't noticed before. It's around 1:37 min of the song, right before Stuart M starts singing the chorus "There must be a reason..." for the 2nd time. It reminded me of the odd "I don't know" at the end of "Photo Jenny".

Re: Sinister: New Belle and Sebastian album! Woohoo!

Almost a week ago Stuart Gardiner suggested: >> The band will be touring around the world to support this album. The >> individual dates are still yet to be confirmed, however the pattern is >> looking like this: >> >> 31/08 - 12/09 UK gigs > >Hey shame, my summer job finishes on 29/08... Then I've got a month off... >Anyone fancy hiring a camper van and following them round the country? I've got an Europass and pretend to use it mostly to follow B&S around Europe during September and October. But the idea of a camper van full of happy bunnies sounds much nicer, even if it's just for the UK gigs. I don't know if you're really serious about it, Stuart; but if you are, count me in it! Anxious for September, Andre. =========================== "Men are so crazy, they want the essence, the woman is the essence, there it is right in their hands but they rush off erecting big abstract constructions." - Mardou Fox ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: Zombies / Buba / Fun While It Lasted

Espadrille wrote ... >so, everybody. would a zombies compilation be worth 7-99 of my money. the >only song i know at the moment is time of the season, and that's pretty >monstrously good, with its chook -aaah... bit. No, you should start with the _Odessey And Oracle_ CD reissue which does not only feature "Time Of The Season", but is in my humble opinion one of the most wonderful albums recorded in the Sixties. I won't even start to describe the sheer brilliance of this P!O!P! masterpiece, since I'd be bound to fail ... maybe it's sufficient to say that "Time Of The Season" is one of my less favourite tracks on the album, although I love it nonetheless. John JJ wrote ... >Buba and the Shop Assistants called 'Something to do' (I think), it >was always between 15 and 30 quid. We never ever heard it, and at that >time we were never rich enough to spend that much on a 7" single. > >Has anyone heard it? Who was/were Buba? Buba & The Shop Assistants featured only David Keegan of the band subsequently simply known as The Shop Assistants. Buba was an alias for Aggi Pastel and Stephen Pastel contributed some instrumentation as well. The "Something to do" 7" is one of the many lost masterpieces which will most probably never be reissued. Maybe I'll find some space to include it on the Eighties P!O!P cassettes mentioned a couple of days ago which will possibly crop up in the tape tree thingie. Fun While It Lasted ... well, if you read thus far you either care or must be pretty bored. Either way, I'm sorry for any disturbance and irritation caused on this mailing list, especially as regards my most recent mails which seemingly involved some unhappy misapprehensions and were followed by some, say, inappropriate presumptions. In any event, my sincerest apologies ... you know who you are. Anyone who'd like to keep in touch should e-mail me privately under <v3bodnol(a)ulmo.stud.slu.se>. Maybe I'll resubscribe sometimes in the future after refreshing my language skills. §;^D Seriously, I wish everyone a lovely summer full of happiness, joy and some decent P!O!P! music consumption.

Sinister: blahblahblah

The tape trade idea is perfect. I'm glad rules have been set up. Now can we request people for our circle of tape traders, like picking teams in PE class? Someone mentioned Bedhead, and I definitely want to be in on that square of traders. I am meeting my list crush in New York City in two weeks. Someone cheer for me. A second degree sunburn is the worst thing I can think of. That's why I haven't had a tan in six years. All of my friends are on vacation. I'm really bored.

Sinister: the second degree burns + zombies

>so, everybody. would a zombies compilation be worth 7-99 of my money. the >only song i know at the moment is time of the season, and that's pretty >monstrously good, with its chook -aaah... bit. I have no clue about any other Zombies things, but when I saw Tanya Donelly play in Toronto, she covered Time of the Season, and WHOO! was it ever good, with her breathy 'aaah' bits. She also hugged me and I also took photos of her, but that's neither here nor there. jessicaxo ps. I'm sufferring miserably from a sunburn which has been identified formally as a second degree burn. So I followed everyone's advice and applied aloe religiously, and then I had a hypersensitive reaction to the *aloe*, for heaven's sakes. So I'm slathered with Noxzema and listening to IYFS overandoverandover, planning my packing list for my trip to Boston for which I'm leaving on Tuesday for 3 weeks and I'm staying with my mad crush! I suppose things aren't so bad, at least I'll have someone to assist with the Noxzema application.... ***************************************************************** Someone had spied on us, I suppose, as we sat beside the canal and ate the sandwiches, drinking not even orangeade or Coca-Cola but hot milk out of a thermos. **************************************************************** t i n y s t a r @ w o r l d y . c o m ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
