Indeed, having been a "kid" in the eighties and growing up with certain bands, there is a strong tendency to ignore eveything else that went on in that era. We all know the New Orders, Depche Modes, Smiths, Cures etc etc and can all give our tuppence worth on those bands we liked, but I too would love to hear the views of those who have delved back in the archives with their 50p bargain basement Oxfam rejects. Above all I might learn something today. I for one thought there were T!O!O! many espadrilles around. Sorry Espadrille.

Sinister: Andonthattreetherewasabranchandonthatbranchtherewasanestand...
by Adam Robinson 07 Jul '98

God, pre-unsubbing posting frenzy. Peter asked whether "The Wicker Man" soundtrack was any good. I haven't actually got the record, but the music in the film is fab. A lad I knew at school used to disrupt English lessons by chanting the Pagan fertility song that the kids sing in the film while dancing round the maypole. It's top. The song that Britt Ekland sings attempting to seduce Puritan copper Edward Woodward is gorgeous as well. Incidentally, as I know Peter digs Rod Stewart as well as Rodddney, he may be interested to know that Rod tried to buy the rights to the film to prevent the world from seeing his missus in the knack. I'm really going now. Cheers ! Adam. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: 10 Roddington Place

Has Dave pulled? Is love in the air? Is that what made him write the following? >| BubblegumPunkPopDiscoDon'tStop >| Make a record in your home - You don't need a studio! You bloody well do, mate. Or at least a pressing plant. Whatever, it's great to see Dave making the effort to keep on writing in despite being unsubscribed. I apologise for any distress caused by my accidental impersonation of him last week. I accept full responsibilty and won't do it again. I'm quite excited about the new record. One or two promising song titles on there, and a nice informative message, the Kitchen/ House teamwork is already reaping benefits for Jeepster Recordings' PR department. FunkySeb, if it's drum machines and plinky plonky keyboards you're after, I would recommend the album "Zuckerzeit" by the band Cluster. It's not from the 80s, it's from the 70s. It's described in the book "Krautrocksampler" by Julian Cope as sounding like the Stooges let loose in Toys 'R' Us, which I think sums it up quite nicely. It's all instrumental, quite curious but still very accessible. It doesn't sound much like Belle and Sebastian, but perhaps isn't a million miles away in spirit - good clean fun with a melancholic undertow. (9/10) I think I must be getting on a bit because I've spent the afternoon looking at leisurewear instead of trailing around record shops. Help get me back on the right track - are any of the following discs worthy of investigation? The Bosstown Sound - Various Artists, including the Rockin' Ramrods The Knack and How to Get it - John Barry soundtrack The Wicker Man - soundtrack I would prefer to hear Lickle Sarah's opinions of the 80s groups mentioned rather than the pronouncements of experts. I know it takes all sorts, but I don't think people should feel shy about expressing themselves just because some people manage to give a hazy impression of authority. That's not to say the experts aren't welcome, but it would be nice to get a balance of sorts. Besides which, Sarah knows L!O!A!D!S! As Isaac Hayes once said: I'd like to thank you all for your patience. Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: bye for now
by Adam Robinson 07 Jul '98

07 Jul '98

I'm unsubscribing for the first time since before Christmas today as I'm going on holiday for three weeks. Just as things seem to be getting exciting again with the new record and everything. I'm off to Bangkok tomorrow and fully expect to see Oon off to work on an elephant. By Saturday (hopefully) I'll be in Brisbane, home of the Go-Betweens. So it's a kind of P!O!P! pilgramage. Hope you're all here when I get back. Cheers ! Adam. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Belle & Sebastian New Album/ Free Design
by Ivo A P Escossia 07 Jul '98

07 Jul '98

Oh my G O D !!! THE NEW BELLE & SEBASTIAN ALBUM IS COMING !!!! Don't get me wrong, i still LOVE all Belle & Sebastian records. but i need new B&S tunes to listen to and fall in love with September 7th ? It's the "Brazilian 4 of July"... if you know what i mean. I think until September i will just listen to Free Design. Do you know them ? GREAT old band but still a LOVELY one. "..mellow melodies of The Carpenters with the stunning catchy tunes of Pet Sounds (Beach Boys). Their sound is modern over-the-top orchestration, simultaneously nostalgic and bracingly fresh..." "....an intriguing pop record that may capture similarly the attention of the diehard fans of the Beatles, Carpenters, Beach Boys,John Barry or Harpers Bizarre than those that prefer Stereolab, Divine Comedy, Belle and Sebastian or Arabesque...." Siesta Records did not pay me anything to spam everybody i know with mails about Free Design. They are really great !!!

Sinister: HK Sinister virtual picnic & HK airport chaos
by Richard Lander 07 Jul '98

07 Jul '98

Just to add that a great time was had by all of us HK Sinister folk (well alright the two of us, me & Gordon). On Monday our new airport at Chek Lap Kok opened and Gordon was flying up to Beijing for a visit. Unfortunately like the airport at Kuala Lumpur things haven't run smoothly. Lost luggage, lost passengers, broken computers, no water etc. Things got so bad today that the Hong Kong Air Cargo handlers moved back to the old airport at Kai Tak. Hopefully Gordon caught his plane OK.

Sinister: New Products
by Chris Leonard 07 Jul '98

>Alright who was it. I bet it was Chris Leonard, looking for new undies. It wasn't me, honest it wasn't. But a damn fine site, and my thanks to the mysterious pant fan who felt secure enough to share. Oh what a lovely day. It's on days like these....that I.... remember....The church hall thing on Friday. Isobel was dressed up as a cowgirl. Fantastic! She played some Nick Cave records and Je Taime, which I thought was a bit out of order in a church hall. God hates that. Camera Obscura played first, then Stevie sang some nice songs. What a charming young man he is, and probably rather fertile. It was more of a comedy act than a sing song. He does a wicked Johnny Cash impression, don't you know. I feel this should be encouraged. Then Astrid played and were very energetic, and sang pleasant harmonies. They ended with the classy song "Are you a boy or a girl? Either way - you rock my world!!!". Murdoch approved. But the best bit was at the end, when Murdoch gave everyone who played little trophies and a little present for helping him raise money to get a new fence. And Chris G and Isobel got runner up medals for djing. Classy. I've seen Murdoch in his short shorts. ug ug ug (like Popeye). Peter Easton played Dirty Dream #2 on the radio on Sunday. It's rather fine and got big strings and banging drums. Little snippets of the melody reminded me of the "if you would sing along" bit of "the boy done wrong again". But that's ok. It's a totally different song. I like Belle and Sebastian. Especially when they dress up in silly clothes. Sincerely, cl ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
