the duke of harringay said goobye with: "'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses'" hey! that is a line from the Future Bible Heroes, right?, btw, has anyone listened to the new Magnetic Fields' 7" on sub-pop? Great single! Yeah I know ... it is my first mail to the list (and i screw it up with a non B&S content). Hello everyone! ... you guys have made my day these last 3 weeks i have been lurking around the digest. You all seem like very nice people. I present myself then: Enrique, from Mexico. Hay alguien de Mexico aqui?. At least someone else that speaks spanish? Bella y Sebastian cantan muy bonito y yo los quiero mucho. Me hacen muy feliz. Ultimamente poca musica me hace feliz. Ya quiero escuchar el nuevo disco. Sorry for that ... saludos, e/whoisveryhappytobewithsuchacheerfulgroupofpersons +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: help me please...

Right, listies, I have come across a little problem - namely where to buy TBWTAS when it comes out: Reasons to buy it in "Andy's" 1. It's convenient 2. It'll help B&S get a high entry in the album charts 3. There's a box of cheap CD singles near the counter Reasons to buy it in "Magpie": 1. They are nice people 2. Every penny helps 3. It'll be cheaper 4. It'll be available on vinyl 5. Andys is only independent in the 'Smaller version of a major' way. So, which one gets my £14 or whatever?

Sinister: i bring you list jingles now and smurfs and such

| i am currently so bored at work that i have been attempting to draw | smurfs for the past fifteen minutes. they are all awful. not as awful as some of the smurf-related art at http://www.utw.com/~cluff/smurf/smurfpix.html my personal favorite is gargamel (sp?) grilling the skewered head of a particulary grumpy-looking smurf. | | on the topic of list songs, (well, i don't know if you could call this a | song)...so, anyway, on the topic of list jingles...do you remember that | mcdonald's big mac one? "blah-blah.....tomatoes, onions, on a seasame | seed bun." yeah, i think i still have that one on the paper record from | the sunday paper. how did that go, anyway? | i'm pretty sure it was "two all-beef (sic) patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheez, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun." why i remember that, i have no clue. on the topic of philadelphia: even if B&S were to come, they would surely play at one of this city's fine 21+ establishments, effectively rendering their trip here useless for the majority of this city's (underage) fans (myself included). but beggars can't be choosers i suppose. -matthew +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: smiley smile
by Richard Hutt 18 Aug '98

Hey all A quick not very B&S related question for all you bright sparks out there. I'm about to start work on a Beach Boys documentary, and I have a little window of opportunity. To whit - I'm trying to think of people we could interview, beyond the obvious punters. By which I mean to ask - can anyone suggest modern day artistes who have an affinity for or liking of the Beach Boys? It's not that easy, I'm afraid - I could try and sneak in, say, the High Llamas, but in general I'll need a little more, erm marquee value. They wouldn't absolutely have to be familiar to the U.S. public - but it might be nice. Exciting bit - I get to try and hunt down Phil Spector. Thank you all for your help. The Avengers, by the by, is a very bad film, but it does have one very commendable Antonioni styled thing going on - it is set in a London that is completely empty. This is a very fond dream of mine, it was very exciting to see it on screen - how beautiful London would be post-apocalypse. Haunting like. Does anyone have a mews flat going spare? Or a telly job in London? I'll swap.

Sinister: "What is the use of a book", thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

Oh and there's also that song called 'Superstar' (I think) by Nilon Bombers. But that's a bit rubbish. And probably loads of others that I could mention if I bothered to go upstairs and check. I know he's been mentioned many times before, but I bought a Nick Drake cd with the pittance I got of Echo for selling them my old rubbish cds and it is ace. Especially 'Hazy Jane II' which is very B&S. I don't usually notice comparisons between bands, but this is great. You should all go and get it now, cos I say so. Also, can anyone recommend any good music biogs? I'm hooked on them at the moment for some reason and am currently reading one on the wonderful Patti Smith but am nearly finished and would like to know what else is good. Thanks! I wonder who'll be the first to write a B&S biography... most bands nowadays seem to have a crappy 40 page book out after their first album, but then they seem to have far more press photographs to fill out the gaps where the author can't think of anything to write... love, Debbie "We are all the same, everybody is the same, only it is the prerogative of youth to believe that this is not so." ---------- > From: Tim Harris <tlh20(a)hermes.cam.ac.uk> > To: sinister(a)majordomo.net > Subject: Re: Sinister: American Radio and TV Commercials - Double Take > Date: 17 August 1998 21:08 > > > On Mon, 17 Aug 1998, Tara Widmer wrote: > > Also does REM's "It's the End of the World..." count as a list? > > Ooh yes, I forgot that one! and maybe that "Hey, Matthew" song from > 84-ish -- with lists of TV shows ("Dallas, Dynasty, Terrorhawkes, He > Man, Dukes of Hazard, The A Team" -- spot who's sad enough to *still* > remember (or almost-remember) these things..) and lists of occupations > that "Matthew" wants to have. > > tim > > +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ > +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ > To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Lists...

Sorry to lower the musical tone, but I'm sure Pop Will Eat Itself (some of you older ones may remember them!) did a list of things they digged (dag?) in 'Def. Con. One': Optimus Prime (not galvatron) The Leader of the Pack & Da Doo Ron Ron. Marvel & DC, Run DMC Renegade Soundwave and AC/DC The more observant amongst you will note that some of those things are cool and some of them are less cool. Let's have a list fight over which come into which category.

Adrian wrote: Peter Miller...quit associating my good name (?) with that terrible book you tricked me into buying - I'll not lower myself to read it. Sorry Adrian, I thought you'd already gone on holiday, so I was getting an early start on my favourite list game of trying to get everyone to talk about someone behind their back. It's never worked yet, people are so discreet. I'm just listening to Roger Daltry screaming "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEE!" from the "McVicar" soundtrack, courtesy of Keith Wattstax. I advise anyone that isn't friends with Keith to become so immediately. All this talk of list songs and no one has mentioned the first and best list song - "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and his Comets. It's a list of times of the day, complemented by the singer's projected activities at each time he chooses to mention. Simple but effective. Belle and Sebastian content: No, false alarm. Paid a penny and only farted. I've just been to the supermarket, it was shit. Isn't Staten Island Wu Tang Clan territory? I certainly wouldn't be rude about it in public if so. They'll chop your arms off.
