*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Hello again, well, you know it's a crying shame that Slow Grafitti hasn't been released yet. Could someone send me the lyrics to this song too? There's nothing better than singing along with an instant classic. francisco +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Hello Lovely Listees I was wondering if anyone had the lyrics to this, perhaps, the greatest, of songs ever! And if perhaps I could receive a copy of said lyrics--thanks! francisco +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Dave Matthews

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* Howdy Sam, I was sentenced to 4 years at the University of Richmond betwen 90 and 94 and used to see Dave Matthews every wednesday night at the Flood Zone with at first about five other people, then 10, then 20, then 50, then100, and then all of a sudden he's playin' arenas. It was so fun when he was just a nobody. Everyone get down on one hopeless-unbeliever-knee and pray that this doesn't happen to our beloved Belle and Sebastian!!!!!! ARRRRRRGGGGG, how that would suck. .scott On 27 August at 14:34 GMT, "Sam Devere" <samiamx wrote: *---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* So being the proper Virginia boy, I trekked to Nissan Pavilion to see Dave Matthews play the other night. First off, I've never seen anyone so cocked while on stage before. Dave was glass-eyed and a bit slow in singing. They took about a one-minute break between each song for the first five or six. Of course, the wafting smell of pot didn't help either. I felt like I was at a Dead show. Nonetheless, it was fun anyway. I don't know if anyone has mentioned the Hang-ups, but I recommend them if you at all like P!O!O!. The lyrics are substandard -- then again after discovering groups like B&S and Trash Can Sinatras most lyrics seem inconsequential -- but the music is very, very catchy. Picked up the new Aluminum Group album a couple of weeks ago. I somewhat disagree with an earlier post regarding them. I don't think they quite sound like B&S. They sound a little like an early '80s new-wave (similar to Blow Monkeys) sometimes loungy/synth outfit. Very sensitive lyrics, perhaps that is the area of similarity with B&S that the person was thinking of. A couple of songs sound quite a bit like Magnetic Fields. Anyone hear the new Catchers album?

by Sam Norman 27 Aug '98

27 Aug '98

+---+ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES +---+ OK so that may have not been the most tactful start. On the radio the other day it was reported that Ian Dury had passed away. I haven't heard anytghing since, so if anyone can confirm or deny this i'd be most grateful. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Walter Mitty and L'Express
by Sam Devere 27 Aug '98

27 Aug '98

*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* For a list where dreaming is often referenced, I'm very surpised that Walter Mitty (the fictional character) has never been mentioned -- at least to my knowledge. He is the ultimate dreamer. I think he would make a splendid subject should B&S write a muse about him. To answer your question Philippe, precisely.

+---+ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES +---+ OK for ages i've been meaning to ask if anyone would be able to make me a copy of Tigermilk. I thought that it may be rude to ask for one, but then someone told me that they got a copy form someone on the list.

by Ayacolor＠aol.com 27 Aug '98

27 Aug '98

+---+ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES +---+ What's new pussy cat?? This is your lovely colorful Aya again!! I can't write you about cool Japanese info for you. And I want to say "yo men! whala?" to LA listee. I gonna move to LA next month to drove you guys crazy!!!! I got TBWAS's Japanese sub title ""kinisinai" de "itemoii"?" exactly means ""don't mind" and "Can I stay here" ?" well, I will say "Can I stay here if you don't mind?" "Don't you mind, then I'll stay." "Can I stay here? I don't bother you." It is really typical translation I guess... It means a lot of situation because Japanese doesn't have a actual subject. What do you think?? How do you translate?? How do you make sentence from that words?? Ready to Rock!!

Sinister: Rolling Stone review of TBWTAS
by Delaware9＠aol.com 27 Aug '98

27 Aug '98

>From the new Sept 17, 1998 issue of Rolling Stone, read it and weep: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **** (4 out of 5 stars: "excellent") THE BOY WITH THE ARAB STRAP Belle and Sebastian Matador The eight layabouts in the secretive Scotch band Belle and Sebastian are the new kings of the kind of teen-innocence porn that makes indie-rock fans cry "mama." Manufacturing an illusion of high school cuddliness without actually appealing to teenagers, they issue four-minute fluff balls of nonsense Glasgow stories and singsong melodies - naive and fragile in the outside, tough with knowledge of obscure psychedelic pop records on the inside. The Boy With the Arab Strap is the band's third album in two years, amid as many EPs and numerous downloadable songs-of-the-week at its Web site. Redolent of the Velvet Underground's cutest moments, this stuff is almost closer to sense memory than to music. Slouching along with Stuart Murdoch and Isobel Campbell's breathy, uncertain vocals, and a small, unvirtuosic orchestra in the rear, the songs conjure aloneness, first love, discovering poetry and not knowing what to do about it. It's the soundtrack to staying too long in your college neighborhood and becoming one of those types who hold down library jobs. The air has grown dangerously precious on each of Belle and Sebastian's previous records, so the greater richness and sophistication of Arab Strap come as a relief. A few songs actually read as creditable poems: "Seymour Stein," a split-level daydream in which the real-life record mogul takes the singer's sweetie away to America and his band out to dinner, holds fast to its conceit and attains goose-bump loveliness - it's actually moving. Elsewhere, there are old Stones-like slide guitars, bagpipes and motor-trance rhythms, strings, xylophones, trumpets, flutes, and organs. And where too much of the band's other music has been assiduously cloistered and rickety, best heard at private moments on headphones, this album's got brilliant Spector-sound sunsets. It's worthy of filing next to the Mothers of Invention's Freak Out, R.E.M.'s Reckoning, and the Meat Puppets' Up on the Sun: rock albums with an endless summer glow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Even from a rag like Rolling Stone I would have hoped for a little less cruel treatment! "unvirtuosic" "rickety" "It's ACTUALLY moving" And I hate how every magazine in the whole wide world has to play on that "secretive" thing, oooh, theyre so "mysterious" just cos they dont whore themselves around like all the other bands in there... They even printed a picture of the album cover to ruin the surprise for all of us who were still waiting. So if you really want to see it you can go to a bookstore or something and check it out. But I know that what I say doesnt really mean much anyway cos i am just a teenager and B & S therefore dont appeal to me. So what do I know!
