Sinister: help me!
by Courtney Knopf 06 Aug '98

06 Aug '98

I rested on my laurels too long and am now kicking myself for it. I just now called up ticketmaster to order tickets for the L.A. Bernard Butler show at the El Rey and the lady said that they were sold out. Well she said it wasn't really sold out, more tickets would probably be released before the show, but she couldn't sell me a ticket. Fat lot of good that does me. So if any L.A. area listees have extra tickets to the show (please for the love of God, andy tell me you bought 3 tickets and not just 2), please let me know! i would very much appreciate it. Oh, and since we're on the topic of Ben Folds Five, they're quite wonderful. All of that damn "Brick" hype aside, they are indeed an aural treat. As Katie (who was up until now afraid to post to this list) and Kim have said....they rawk. Mmm, and quite a while ago while we were in the throes of the canadian music discussion, tony k mentioned Zumpano to which i must agree! Zumpano are wunderbar. Oh and Tony works for Geffen, yes? Have you heard Phantom Planet? They make me smile. ~~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "I could have been the Walrus.

Sinister: b&s on radio -Reply
by Arthur Chan 06 Aug '98

06 Aug '98

I agree with Tasha. >>> "i'm awesome!" <tasha(a)pixar.com> 08/06/98 10:22am >>> quit complaining about someone talking over part of the b&s song! oh boo hoo. us americans didn't get to hear any of it. yes i'm bitter. we don't get any good radio shows here and barely any bands play on tv. only maybe one song on the late show or something, and even then you have to sit through the whole show just to see one song by most likely some sucky band like 311 or backstreet boys or something. and if you want anything relating to british bands (usually) you have to shell out big bucks. even the pishy (ooh look i said pish) NME costs 4 bucks! and don't tell me to move to england cause i'd like to but my job is here. can't wait for the new album! tasha -- Tasha Wedeen tasha(a)pixar.com http://www.geocities.com/~girlracer ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

And it's one of my friend's birthday that night no no, sorry, i didn't mean that! i didn't phrase my last post very well. i was asking whether anyone knew of any good gigs (not belle and sebastian!) in london on saturday night. that's all... by the way, the three songs played were 'the boy with the arab strap', 'sleep the clock around', and 'dirty dream no. 2'. 'the boy with the arab strap' is fantastic, all hand-claps and recorders, and very bouncy happy bunny style... 'sleep the clock around' most of us know from the sessions, but it's a different version with lots of strange pingy noises in the background (?), and 'dirty dream no. 2' i missed all but the last minute, but it had a bit a speaking on by sarah or isobel i guess, not sure which, and lots of strings and trumpet! and that's it rob ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: Artist's sons, football and computer names
by Michael 06 Aug '98

06 Aug '98

Hi, list people. I'm a bit bored, so I'm going to write a wee email to pass the time. When I started in this work about a year ago all the computers were named after Star Trek planets (not everyone is sad, just one bloke that started it off). Whenever I have to reinstall one of my machines (we use NT so this happens regularly) I try to start a new trend, always unsuccessfully. I have just given up on Bond girl names (complaining that Pussygalore had gone down on me again was causing too many smutty remarks - the English sense of humour is so purile). Anyway, this morning I decided I'd try Belle and Sebastian song titles. So now, one of the machines under my desk is called 'DOG_ON_WHEELS'. Artist's sons - Gill Scott Heron's dad was the first black footballer to play in the UK - he played for Celtic some time many years ago, when they still wore dead long shorts. I've gathered that B&S are predominately a Glaswegian band - does anyone know if they have any football preferences, and what they are? Going on past experience, bands with musical integrity tend to be tims (Primal Scream, Texas, Rod Stuart, Del Ametri, Simple Minds), whereas Wet Wet Wet are huns. Anyway, I'm waiting for my (strictly analogue) copy of Tigermilk to arrive - can't wait. Will the tickets for the London gig be sold out yet? I can't find a single person down here who likes B&S, so I'm going to have to arrange to import some mates from back home, but this may take time. This is way too long. _________________________________________________ Michael Barrett, Broadcast R & D, Advanced Technology Division, SONY Broadcast & Professional, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG22 4SB, England.
