Hello Saturday morning and I'm working but there's something making my morning more easy. There's a radio-station playing a special program about "Jonathan Richman".

Sinister: good news and sad news.
by Euan Leitch 11 Jul '98

11 Jul '98

Good morning I'm strolling through the digests thinking "what would I recommend to jon g. from the '80s?" and the reply I got I dismissed as too obvious and not hip enough judging by other listees recomendations. But here I sit with the paper spread across the table telling me that they are reforming for a tour (Stateside) and they have another Best of album. So I can't hold back. Who are they? Jon g., you'll know them from the Flinttones movie, but forget about that and buy all the B52s back catalogue. Rock Lobster, 52 Girls, Planet Claire... oh daddy, take me away! But now I turn to some sad news. Kay Thompson is dead. 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. Ah the '80s! I spent last night being the only guy dancing to Wham & Abba at a friends party. They were all doin' it right, doin' it with me! bye de bye Ue ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Hmm - 'True Faith was, possessively, renamed 'Boo Faith' and released as an A-side some years back. What I'd *really* like to hear is The Boos' cover of '4st 7lb' from The Holy Bible. It exists. We are told. >Actually i don't think i ever saw the movie... i was too upset that >Oakey swiped my concept. Speaking of movies swiping concepts - I had a cat, now sadly departed, who was christened, in 1982, Beethoven. For a decade, to the world, Beethoven was a cat. [OK so he was also a strong contender for the position of finest composer who has ever lived, but that's irrelevent.] And then some Hollywood hob-nob decides to make Beethoven a dog! I nearly sued..... >respect to the legless of the world, i hope to join you all tonight. Anyone seen 'The Evil Dead'? I shall be watching it tonight. My friend says he's been having nightmares about it. I look forward to it. ------------------------------------------------------ Andrew O'Sullivan aeos(a)dial.pipex.com http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/osullivan/ 'Look me up in the Yellow Pages, I will be your Rock of Ages' ------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: a clean well-lighted letter
by brad 11 Jul '98

oh yeah. mmm bomp bomp. oh yeah. chikachika. remember that 80's tune? it was on the movie "weird science", which, as everyone knows has the distinction of being the best movie ever made....along with "electric dreams" (great soundtrack). it has the happiest song in the world on it..."together in electric dreams" by giorgio moroder with philip oakley. surely duke has a comment on this song. it took me four years to track down a copy of that soundtrack. so, i want in on the tape tree thing. i got loads of songs by eggs and bedhead and townes van zandt and magnetic fields and a stunning cover of new order's "true faith" done by the boo radleys...along with their equally effective cover of the belle and sebastian inspiring song "alone again or" by love. i would really love to hear people's thoughts on the movie "electric dreams"...sometimes it seems i'm the only one who fell in love with it. and at the end when they turn on the radio driving over that bridge and "together in electric dreams" come on, i wanna get up and dance...although it's hard cause, as none of you know what i look like, i am 400 pounds and legless. kids used to taunt me. they'd go "fatty fatty two by four, stupid fuck ain't got no legs." i cried. i hear tim hopkins shops in the husky department, too. we'll always be together together in electric dreams -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: posh paws

Hello. In response to jong's query, I reckon the idea is that everyone makes one tape and it sort of gets passed around in a circle till it gets back to you again. Is that right? I thort it might be nice if everyone (if they wanted) wrote a wee thing about why they like certain songs on their tape or whatever. You know the way it sometimes helps you enjoy a song if you hear how other folk feel about it? No? O well. Anyways, if nice Kevan doesn't want to do all the areas, I could organise a circle between UK and Ireland. Leagues will slag me cos he's mean and bad, but he won't send you bad things in the post. I promise. g'night joss ____________________________________________________________ Go see: http://indigo.ie/~bcheatle/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

>Well unfortunately I can't claim to have heard the album, but like a lot >of people here I've already heard (and have tapes of) over half the songs >on the album, either on the radio sessions or at gigs. What radio sessions are these? And what about those picnics? As an American B&S fan, am I missing something? Can someone help me? Also I just got on the list and would like to tell everyone that I enjoy it very much. It is sometimes very interesting and I find it very informative. Does anyone know anything about where B&S will perform in America? Thanks a ton, HoleRole ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: Kinks & Belle Ray DaviES & Stuart DaviD (band similarities)

>ok the first time i ever heard belle & sebastian,this subject came up in my >mind so its about time i discuss it with others. belle & sebastian >(especially the vocals) sounds like the early 70s kinks. ray davies(head >singer)'s voice is remarkably similar to stuart murdock's. anyone else >agree? especially the songs: >"Sitting in my hotel" & "celluloid heroes" off the out-of-print-soon-to-be-re- >released "Everybody's in Showbiz" LP that i snatched used at the local record >store. >cheers. -a.james >--- I totally agree...It's hard for me to see it now, but when I first heard Belle & Sebastian..that was my impression, completely. I got hooked, and after a few listens I stopped thinking about it tho..but yeah....you're right. My ex HATED Stuart's voice and once, when I was having the most blissfull nap (you know..when you actually *fall* asleep with with that lovely voice in your head...) he turned off the tape and it went !!SNAP!! and I popped up and went "what duh?" and he said "I can't take it anymore..that Ray Davies guy is making me violent. This is why he is an EX. :) beth ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
