Or I am I right? ok, so not having been born until 1980 myself (8th July, making me 18 on Wednesday, just so yous know...), i'm probably not the best authority on this decade, but what about The Smiths?- one of the greastest groups EVER. And believe me, i do not hand out recomendations like that lightly. actualy, there's a way for me to link B&S in with this (for the first time in ages). I've just been reading 'Morrissey & Marr- the Severed Alliance' while listening to 'Seymour Stein' for the first time in ages. He was mentioned in the book, then i heard the line "he reminded you of Johnny/before he went Electronic" Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I never heard that bit before. Hehehe that is *so* cool. anyhoo, what about Adam Ant? or Blondie? or New Order? or JAMC? or Billy Bragg? or countless others that i'm too young to remember... > jon g. [just been out to see grease with bethey and it was *great* - v. > funny] tis a truely marvellous film... encouraging kids to smoke, pierce their own ears, drink and completely change their looks and personality in order to get a shag. bought it when i was 10 and have loved it to death ever since. Incidently, got the top of my ear pierced last week and it is still throbbing and aching like hell. am scared it is gonna go all infected and mutated and icky. ouch. woohoo! Don't Look Back is gonna be on at the Filmhouse. Yay! Sorry, i get excited easily. and i'm still trying to get over the rather amusing fact that Curly Watts from Corrie was in a band with Johnny Marr. Hehehe. love, Debbie xx (swooning already at the thought of seeing Bernard Butler again, at T in the Park; oooooooh he is a guitar god...) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: glandular fever... arse
by rob b 05 Jul '98

05 Jul '98

hello all i'm ill with glandular fever at the moment, so i expect lots of sympathy from you lot! aanyway, i just posted 'the thought fox', a rather nice poem by ted hughes. it's something i'm always reminded of by the song 'the fox in the snow' (for obvious reasons). and i was just wondering if anyone else found the same sort of thing happened with any other songs. are you reminded of a work of art, literature, poem, film, or indeed anything at all, when you hear one of belle and sebastian's songs? i find 'slow graffiti' reminds me of 'the picture of dorian gray' a bit, because of the lines: 'there's a portrait in a back room which i keep for days upon which i relent and gaze for hours on the muscles skin and bone of some imaginary friend.' and that reminds me - slow graffiti, isn't that song going to be in 'the acid house' when it comes out? does anyone know when the film is due to grace our cinemas? so sampras has won again... hmmm, i'm getting rather bored of him winning wimbledon every year. ah well, time for tea. rob x ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: the fox in the snow
by rob b 05 Jul '98

05 Jul '98

The Thought Fox by Ted Hughes I imagine this midnight moment's forest: Something else is alive Besides the clock's loneliness And this blank page where my fingers move. Through the window I see no star: Something more near Though deeper within darkness Is entering the loneliness: Cold, delicately as the dark snow, A fox's nose touches twig, leaf; Two eyes serve a movement, that now And again now, and now, and now Sets neat prints into the snow Between trees, and warily a lame Shadow lags by stump and in hollow Of a body that is bold to come Across clearings, an eye, A widening deepening greenness, Brilliantly, concentratedly, Coming about its own business Till, with sudden sharp hot stink of fox It enters the dark hole of the head. The window is starless still; the clock ticks, The page is printed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: pickernic in the park
by Rod Begbie 05 Jul '98

05 Jul '98

Hello You! It's a week to go until T in the Park, and I'll be there, and I imagine a fair smattering of you folks will be too. Anyone fancy having a bit of a meet-up there? We could arrange a time, and there's that MeeTing poinT near the main stage that we could all show up at. In fact, if it's like last year, there are four sides labelled North, South, East and Fishcake. No, only kidding. The last one's West. (Bet I had you all going there, huh.) So we can arrange a time, but you have to stand at the side of the meeting point pertinent to where you were born. So Glaswegians have to stand to the west, Londoners to the south, and people from the Midlands have to clamber into the centre of it. Or something. Anyway, anyone got any idea of who's on when so we can arrange sommit? Or, if all else fails, I'll almost certainly be wearing my red Helen Love[1] T-shirt. So if you see a geeky-looking bloke wearing one[2], shout "Dave!" at him, and there's a 99.9999% chance that it'll be me -- the only other person on the planet I've ever seen wear one is Rock McMurray. Anyhoos, make sure and e-mail me personally as well as the list, cause I'm still not subscribed. Laters, Rod. [1] New single out soon, by the way. See http://www.glam.net/bbs/ [2] Possibly accompanied by a girl wearing totally unsuitable clothes, and a bright purple wig, unless I can convince her that her plan to be noticed by the media is COMPLETELY FUCKING STUPID!

Sinister: Shove it in the memory grill
by Funkyseb＠aol.com 04 Jul '98

04 Jul '98

Isn't it fantastic! Jo Whiley just played 'The State I'm in', X fm just played Century of Fakers, and It's impossible to avoid that there Salako song. The only thing is, I never realise what it is until the chanty bit at the end, so I never get to tape it. But there seems to be a (mini) media bombardment going on. All right, a very small bombardment. Surely the magazine covers can't be far off now. Maybe Select will do inflatable Stuarts? And the sound of Dog on Wheels will waft tantalizingly from every open window, in every street of every city...Oh! I'm suddenly very excited that by the end of this year, there'll be another album, another tour, maybe even a proper interview? Oh, probably not actually. I'm sorry, I'm waffling rubbish today, it's just I've finally got a part in a proper, major film, (getting battered to death with ping pong bats), and I'm so happy that I can't stop talking to people now, even though I have nothing to say. Erm...B&S..did anyone on the list see Chris Geddes on the wheels of steel last night? i'd love to know what 'platters', in his opinion, 'matter'. Something scary and industrial, I fancy, i read somewhere that he rawks a great deal. Someone mentioned something about a weird man on Victoria Station? Well, in an unrelated way, I was sat on London's fashionable Marylebone station today, and the payphone rang suddenly. Hello?, said my camp friend. 'You must be outside the coffee shop', replied a weird old lady, 'I'm waiting for my son. You should go and get some milk.' After a few minutes spent pondering the meaning of this, the phone rang again. 'Hello, ' I said. 'Is there an injured person on the station?' she said. 'No.' 'Look. See if there are lots of dead people on a train.There will be.' And she hung up. The woman was totally sincere, and quite scary. Has anyone else had this happen? I mean, was this a one off or does she phone all major stations, to scare impressionable, Scream fixated teenagers? I'd like to know. Oh, and I've just bought an orange toothbrush in honour of Holland. Hoorah! Sorry about the length of this mail, I just had a lot to get off my chest there.

Sinister: Dexys
by lickle sarah 04 Jul '98

04 Jul '98

Hiya, last thursday I bought two ol' Dexys singles on 7" (50p each, yey!) at Preston market, and one is called Dance Stance. HOWEVER on the ALLLBUM they've decided 'oh no, it must be called Burn It Down', why have they changed it? That confused me for ages when I bought it, then I listenined to it and went...hang on, this seems a tad familiar... heehee - played Searching for the Young Soul Rebels in Creative Writing ages ago, and my pal Katie was doing something on the computers as the radio crackles about at the start of Burn It Down, and when Kev shouted, she jumped so hard she fell off her chair!! heehee, ooh much hilarity.....cruel, but jolly...
