Sinister: Lionjuice

Okay, folks. I should have fgured that asking where to get Tigermilk was a common question, but I had no idea it was so expensive! So, if anyone has it and would like to hook up a friendly guy in Berkeley/San Francisco (I've been sleeping on friend's sofas for the past month), I'd really appreciate it. I'd pay you, if you wanted. Hell, maybe I can send you some rarity that's only found in Northern California. If you feel like contributing to the Sammy Record Collection Fund, please respond to me via e-mail and maybe we can work something out??? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: beef
by Richard Hutt 02 Jul '98

02 Jul '98

Oh, it's probably far too late for this request now, but I'm taking a little work trip up north this weekend. Can any San Franciscans reccomend entertainment options? Does the 4th of July mean that things shut down? Does everybody go off barbecuing and the like? Have I chanced upon a B&S picnic? In an earlier life, I had "The House of Love" painted on the back of my jacket, before it all went horribly wrong. It was the 80's, we were young and foolish. Well at least I was. They were such a textbook example of what used to happen to promising bands once they were consumed by clueless majors. I remember overhearing a conversation in a pub in Hammersmith once, their manager talking to their producer about how important it was to rid them of "that shabby indie sound" and "beef up" the drums. Both had pony tails. I think it used to be a lot more 'them v. us' in those days. I'm sure I had a point. It'll come to me.

Sinister: Re: probably no new info about new B&S album
by Lamba, Sanjeet 02 Jul '98

02 Jul '98

As long as we're posting news that isn't that new, I was reminded last night that B&S made Entertainment Weekly's annual "It List", which is this pretty lame list of bands and people that are supposed to be up-and-coming. They shared this list with unknowns like Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and a bunch of others that shouldn't be associated with B&S. Nevertheless, it's nice to see them getting some recognition Stateside. Speaking of them, I can't find their first album anywhere. And I've checked some reputable record stores in the Bay Area (Amoeba, Mod Lang). These stores usually have anything you could possibly want, and often have it second hand too. But not B&S. Nothing except for Sinister and Lazy Line Painter Jane. And that one other single, too. Any suggestions on where else to look? I had asked my idiot friend in London to search for me, but he didn't and now he lives in St. Louis, Missouri, so there's a missed opportunity. > -----Original Message----- > From: Katrina House [SMTP:a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk] > Sent: Thursday, July 02, 1998 8:13 AM > To: Janine Papp > Cc: sinister > Subject: Re: Sinister: probably no new info about new B&S album > > > hi all, > > can i just say that these dates still haven't been confirmed? > > cheers, > Katrina.

Sinister: probably no new info about new B&S album
by Janine Papp 02 Jul '98

02 Jul '98

A friend of mine who works at a distribution co. faxed me the one sheet for the upcoming B&S release. Here's what I know now: Title is TBA. No track listing. It will be on LP and CD. It willbe out in the U.S. on Sept. 8. "Selected U.S. dates are planned for the fall of 1998 and early 1999." "There will be multiple viedos from this album." That's it! Nothing really that we didn't already know, right? I had to stop squealing, hyperventilating, and jumping up and down, though, before I could write this.

Sinister: Snowbearpolarpatrol
by Rod Begbie 02 Jul '98

02 Jul '98

Hey peeple! It must be said that I'm missing (some of) you loads. But my dad's telephone bill prohibits be resubscribing, so I'll just post this titbit to anyone who's interested. You know that "Snow Patrol" lot... Well, if anyone's still after a copy of their Electric Honey EP when they were still called "Polar Bear", there's a CD copy at Avalanche on Cockburn Street, Edinburgh going for �4.49. I didn't buy it, cause they don't particularly float my boat, but I thought that there might be someone out their who fancies it. It's in the Indie CD singles section. Mind you all record shops are going to die soon, replaced by the internet... did you see that Rialto are releasing their "new" "single" over "the" int"er"net? �2 to get a "re-recorded" version of an old single. Woo! I have seen the future, and it's the Kays catalogue. Seeya! (Wouldn't want to be ya!) Rod. (working as a secretary at the Stirling Observer just now. Woo!) PS. New Yummy Fur single - GRATE! New Chicks single - GRATE! New Lodger single - Bwahhahahahahah!

Sinister: nick drake
by Joachim Rosenquist 02 Jul '98

02 Jul '98

Hi! Anyone on this list who loves Nick Drake? There must be, B&S sounds a lot like him. "Joey" is my favourite song. The insecurity, the doubt, the painfulness of life itself... Nick Drake was a dreamer, a poet and had a haunting grasp of the entire human experience. If your interested in talking further, then mail me!I'd be glad to correspond with other fans. /Joachim j_rosenquist(a)hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Riding the tramps bicycle (part two)
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 02 Jul '98

02 Jul '98

Yes Mike, the man you saw at victoria station is indeed more famous than he deserves to be... Let's see, dishevelled appearance, unhealthy obsession for obscue mid eighties indie !P!O!P! bands? Hmm... so that's where Tag's been hiding himself. Much thanks to EVERYONE who mailed me telling me it was indeed Espiritu that ex avant-popster and babysitter Chris decamped to after Frazier Chorus. I've been waking up in a cold sweat around 3am for the past few nights going "Escalope?, Et tu Brute? GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!" and frightening my long suffering girlfriend very badly indeed. Hurrah for people with nothing better to do than fill in the blanks of my memory, luv ya all! Saw Delgardos, Sonic Youth and Spiritualized last night at Meltdown and OHMIGOD! how good was that? I'm finding it very difficult to put the experience into words, so let's just say I'm still smiling blissfully while I type this.... On the subject of Sonic Youth and sleepless nights (lovely conceptual link there) I dreamt last night that Thurston Moore got arrested after the gig and I had to rush down to this odd police station in the middle of a field to bail him out, where he was very rude to me. Does anyone have any idea what this means? Finally, there was going to be a Playstation world cup at BlueSoda on Friday, but is anyone bothered now? Let me know please....

Sinister: All About Eve
by Kevan Cooke 02 Jul '98

02 Jul '98

> just found out that one of all about eve (i think it's the drummer) > is now playing in del amitri. this is worse than one of frazier > chorus being in espiritu. And didn't the All About Eve guitarist go on to play in both the Sisters of Mercy and then industrial no-hopers CNN (later XC-NN)? Makes joining Del Amitri seem like a valid career move. I remember reading an interview with Momus where he referred to the singer in Del Amitri as his cousin. He may have meant this in a general Scottish brethren type way, but if Tricky is Finlay Quaye's nephew then I suppose anything is possible.

Well I definitely read it in an interview with Momus once too, although I don't remember if it was head Del Boy or just the drummer. Maybe Nick Currie is the black sheep of the family and that's why Mrs Amitri doesn't mention him. And maybe that song was really written as a message to their evil disgraced cousin - you know, "Don't come home too soon you bastard no-one in this family likes you". Just a thought.
