Anyone read the Friday review in today's Guardian? Turns out Sean Hughes is a bit of a B&S fan. Not that it's something to be especially proud of, but then there's no such thing as bad publicity sometimes.

Sinister: RE: Farty Pants Gainsbourg
by Warrander John - FML 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

>First off, has anyone mentioned Tuesday night's frolics in Edinburgh? >There was another "Je T'aime Gainsbourg" evening at the Jaffa Cake in >Edinburgh (like the one at the Renfrew Ferry in Glasgow a while back, >and one in 1862 or thereabouts I didnt go to), and the whole of B&S >minus Chris and Loopy Stuart came along and entertained us with "Poupee >de Son", sung by Isobel. It was a jolly old thing, and Stevie did >"Lolita Go Home" on acoustic too, and some great Stevie (yikes) Wonder >harmonica licks on a couple of other songs. Moi non plus. My god that sounds wonderful. I had heard that this was going on and was very excited that the Edinburgh Nights thing on BBC2 were having a feature on it. Needless to say there was no mention of B&S but Norman Blake performed a very sweet rendition of L'anamour. The bits about Gainsbourg himself were a bit weird though - very flippant! They also showed a clip from his infamous TV encounter with Whitney Houston which was a bit sad really. The worlds greatest flirt reduced to the level of a crude, old uncle. Then of course they managed to drag up some song that consisted of Serge breaking wind. Our very own list expert on the great man (I'm sure there's lots around but I'm talking about Tag here), a man who's spent his life trying to emulate Gainsbourg, even made a rash 'what a horrible man' comment at this. The wee ginger one did manage to compose himself though and at this very moment is off in Iceland, consulting his flatulence svengali on the tricky art of sphincter control. He's promised a faithful rendition at one of the September concerts, which I'm actually looking forward to quite a lot. I don't think anyone's mentioned the History of Scottish Rock and Pop thing in the on-going rock biogs dinosaur. Pretty dull book really, but it does mention Orange Juice, The Pastels, Vaselines and Shop Assistants amongst others (it even mentions The Fizzbombs I think) and if it were written a few years later it would have undoubtedly raved on for several paragraphs at least about B&S which kind of makes it almost on topic. It's possibly quite interesting in bits if you weren't into wearing an anorak in the mid-80s but kind of wish you had been. And it had it's own companion radio show which really should be encouraged. Stephen Pastel on the radio. Oh yes!

Sinister: Livid Meerkat/Rabid Badger/Fierce Panda!!
by Fluffy Candarel 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

Hi you lovely people you.... Please please please please please can *anyone* help me out here? I have a ticket to Leeds.....but no place to stay.....*waaaah* have any fantastic people any place to crash at all for the night? I'm a lovely little thing honest and I don't want to sleep in the train station 'cos it's a nasty place and I'll be murdered and gary has made me *promise* that I have to sell my ticket on if I haven't got a place to stay, and if I have to do that I will cause myself serious harm in attempted suicide so THEEEERE....please? I don't ask luxury, just a roof would be nice? :) Anyway, plea over... (and maybe my LIFE AS WELL OH GOD THE ANGST OF LOVING A BAND WHO DON'T PLAY ANYWHERE WHERE YOU KNOW PEOPLE GOMDAMMIT) I shall now read my...er... 78 messages (!) from Sinister and reply thusly... After I tell you to buy FOREVER BREATHES THE LONELY WORD by FELT 'cos its indeed CRACKIN'. XFM. Weren't they going to kill that? They should have done. You Londoners only need listen to RED ROSE GOLD, and you'll all become better people with teh greatest songs from the 60s 70s and 80s! Apart from when they have PNE playing Blackpool live and NOBODY CARES ABOUT FOOTBALL ON THE RADIO! WHY!?!?!?!?!? Anyway, I hate XFM, because all the *national* papers start a crusade for a LONDON station, which nobody else cares about and would have been jealous off, would it have been that is was any GOOD. I'm starting to sound like Honeys fake not really digest except I think its a flugelhorn/euphonium on Seymour Stain. Serge Gainsborough "events". There seems to be one of those every week oop even norther than me, is this true? Is it an obsession? I've only ever heard ze man once! Huzzah for him! Well, ur... Hunter the Gladiator comes to Preston seemingly all the time, so nerr! Actually, um... Elliot Smith played Preston. I think one of my friends bands might have supported? Or was that Ricky Spontane, yes it was Ricky Spontane. Anyway, Elliot Smith played the Teeny Preston Adelphi (which is now painted YELLOW! AAARGH!) and I didn't go, 'cos I was broke and no-one would go with my anyway, BOOO to them. I put a Morrisey song on the tape treeeeeee tape. Heh heh heh. It's dead serious man. Hehehehehehe! You need know no more until you recieve the tape.....*giggles* It's a GOOD song. Espeially with his little pals aiding him out there.... Has anyone posted tape tree listings yet? Keith you said we all should, so you can start. WHAT DiD KEITH WATSON PUT ON HIS TAPE? I want to see what everyone else has stuck on tapes. Mines a lot of Welsh stuff so I hope people don't actually want to UNDERSTAND song lyrics to half of the songs... I have put enjoyable and fun songs on, and even a Trembling Blue Stars acoustic song done ages ago on Mark Radcliffe 'cos I thought y'all might like it, it's quite pretty. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!! Fluffy Candarel *who feels not happy for she knows no-one in Leeds and will probably end up sad and alone in the train station wondering why she ever CAME (oh the pain!)* hehe! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: re: Whoever the fuck David Grubbs is/Beach Boys tribute
by OLDSCHREC＠aol.com 21 Aug '98

21 Aug '98

David Grubbs, one time member of the punk band SQUIRREL BAIT and post Big- Black/Steve Albinism era influenced group BASTRO, leads GASTR DEL SOL which he formed and asked then Harwood Heights, Illinois native Jim O'Rourke who was relatively-unknown at the time to join way back when in the early 90's days of indie. The Beach Boys/Van Dyke Parks sound was a heavy influence on the final Gastr lp "Camofleur" and I'm sure both O'Rourke and Grubbs appearances on Japanese import CD tribute make perfect sense.
