Afternoon all This is all too much. I've just heard "TBYTAST" and got my ticket for the first Maryhill gig. Well that's a lie, My friend (who I'm kind of in love with, but she's seeing other people just now, and HE is coming which hopefully wont marr my happiness) has bought it for me and faxed a copy of it through so I can see it. Their support is Divine Sound System. Anybody know who they are? Love Ue ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

None

Right, bit of an obscure one here, not in any way related to B&S (but then very few things are). Also quite hard to describe. So for these purposes if you can't answer the following questions 'yes' then i suggest you continue no further cos it may get a bit confusing: 1) Have you seen 'Where's the money, ronnie?' or 'Smalltime' by the same bloke who directed '24-7'? (they were on channel 4 recently) 2) Have you heard a song called 'crazy at the weekend' by some band? (it was a single i think and was also done acoustically on one of the programs from Glastonbury on BBC2) Right, still with me? OK, now could any of you still reading (probably about 2 of you) tell me whether the song in 2) was in the film in 1)? Also, who is it by? And, do they have an album and is it any good? For some reason i really liked the song when i heard it on the Glastonbury coverage (although i was drunk so it could be shite) and it reminded me of the song played at the end of 'Smalltime'. I know this is all bollocks and i apologise for the poor souls who read the whole thing thinking it may be interesting but it has been bugging my for ages. Cheers in advance to anyone who can help.

parshyshe - isn't that how Sean (he used to deliver my milk) Connery would say "precisely" after a night out on the Buckfast loony juice at Bonkers Show Bar in Glasgow?? I got my tickets for the London gig today. I was so relieved as I was terrified there had been a mixup. I haven't put them "in a safe place" yet but I soon will - hope you find yours Turt.

anecdote for Arthur: me and my indiechik fiancee broke up last summer. no i'm dating a yugoslavian supermodel (a total james bond girl who digs b&s and can laugh your soul full of childhood) who digs the hell out of me. Prescription: add some tindersticks to your b&s listening, hit the road, forget about the old tattered chick and fall in love with the world through the eyes of a new girl.

Sinister: B&S on Radio 1
by Shearer, Calumn 06 Aug '98

Following on from funkyseb's review... I LOVED the handclaps - I had to stop my car 'cos I was clicking my fingers along to them too much ;-) Although Jo talked over the end - she _did_ promise to "make it up" later in "the week to come".. This is A Good Thing, probably - more airplay = more people hearing b&s = more fans (with sons like that, how can people _not_ like them??) Ah, still recovering - my heart's doing that happy dance and I feel like I just met my wife to be... Am I overreacting? NO! luve, hugs and a nice warm feeling in the cockles of my heart (or possibly lower - in the sub-cockle region) cal old, but still moving... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: Jo Whiley Must DIE!!!!!!

Clueless cow. God, now I remember why I never listened to the evening session. And she talks over the end of it! When he's still singing! BITCH! "An accomplished beast of beauty"?!? FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!! Anyhoo... that new track. 'snot bad is it. A lovely jaunty dancy one. With recorders. Yay! Any pending doom feelings I had about the upcoming album may now be considered quashed. Only problem was that I thought of Sid James for the "The boy with the dirty laugh" line, which doesn't lend itself to pleasant mental imagery with the following line. So who's going to be the first to post an MP3 to the net? Rod.
