Bob Carolgees and Spit the dog? I dunno Someone recently told me that Leonard Cohen's son (is it Adam?) has copyrighted his name... so another performer named Adam Cohen had to change his name before his record could come out. I'm not sure if this is true, or if Leonard Cohen even *has* a son... but hey, it's what I heard, so I thought I'd share. As for alternate names -- could this really be the Belle and Semenstain list? I don't know if sweet innocent Honey could stomach that... Arthur Chan asked: <Can any of you fellow hipsters support me with any <words of encouragment? My friend's mother used to say, "Boys are like streetcars, there's always another one coming along" to cheer us out our our break-up doldrums. Yeah, we used to say "Fuck that" to ourselves in reply as well and go off and cry hysterically for varying periods of time. But, I send it along in her memory, sarcastic bitter woman she was. I could tie those two paragraphs together, but I won't. --simone/michele ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: glaslet'sgo!
by Colin Campbell 06 Aug '98

06 Aug '98

We all love a good pun , don't we kids. Anyway, not having checked my mail for a while I was pleased to note that those merry pranksters, the Belle and Sebastian will be playing a couple of concerts in gasgow. So in the morning/afternoon(when I wake up), I will be going to purchase some tickets. The good news is that anyone that wants a lift from edinburgh to glasgow can feel free to hop into my mum's rather grey late 80s volvo for the journey, 4 persons max. If you want a lift there and back, just ask nicely. byee. colin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Does anyone else have dreams that go on when you wake up once and then fall back to sleep? I had this one where a cop was chasing me all over the place. He had it in his mind that I needed to be taken back to my normal way of life, but I was running like hell even when he had his gun pulled on me! He chased me through people's back yards, a mall, etc. > Date: Wed, 5 Aug 1998 12:55:40 +0100 > From: "Shearer, Calumn" <Calumn.Shearer(a)east-ayrshire.gov.uk> > Subject: RE: Sinister: Rumour > > I heard "Fox in the Snow" as part of "The Lunchtime Social"'s Mix tape > section on Radio 1, yesterday... > It's funny, how you're just listening away to the background music, and > suddenly "hey, that's belle and sebastian" - kinda perks you up a bit? > or is it just me.... Yes! Had the same experience sitting in my car. Was a dull day driving about town stuck in traffic and getting caught at every single red light with the radio on. I had it turned to the public station and my all time favorite "the state I am in" came on! Made me glad I was in traffic for once and not in the store I needed to be in listening to the dance station. > RE: ban(ne)d names, How about "Arizona" - as a tribute to "Texas", or > "Arab Strap" - You should always have an album/song title with the band > name in it... ;) Yes!

Well, the rumors of me saying they are shit are unfounded. I enjoy Sgt. Peppers and many of their other singles. However, since they were so prolific, and at that point in their careers, they really didn't need to censor themselves too much, yes, some of it just doesn't go down well. They could have released the recorded sounds of their hangovers after a world cup match and it would have sold millions. That's my theory on Oasis. I consider them a parody on the Beatles since the Beatles looked too scarily harmonious and enjoyed each other's company so much that they began to dress like one another and go sledding together. s.s. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

Sinister: Your underarm smells

Much as I admire Stuart David for branching out, for writing lovely little ink polaroid books to muse over, for creating a cutesy little website , for making whimsical little badges with darling little drawings and cartoons ripped off of The LIttle Prince, , for even inventing the catchphrase of a generation 'listen this is pish....', I'd just like to say, I think his music is shit. thats all, Susannah. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list.

I heard "Fox in the Snow" as part of "The Lunchtime Social"'s Mix tape section on Radio 1, yesterday... It's funny, how you're just listening away to the background music, and suddenly "hey, that's belle and sebastian" - kinda perks you up a bit? or is it just me....
