Sinister: I wanna go deep, baby
by mctag＠bigfoot.com 24 Jan '99

24 Jan '99

Hello Campers, I feel a little subdued today, partly cos Genevieve's last mail was so great that I can't possibly follow it. Partly because I just watched Liverpool vs The Great Satan with three Liverpool fans. A harrowing experience, akin to a morgue. Sometimes 8th in the second division seems quite a safe place to be. Worst of all, Wumpkinny (TM) has the flu. It's time, I think, as Hartley Hare used to say...for the great unveiling. Keith and Tag's boy band, as requested by Genevieve. And so ladies and gentlemen, well not gentlemen actually, just laydeez, we bring you...."Roolz". Obviously everyone knows how much cooler bad spelling is when you're young, however, we decided that the traditional boy band selling yourself short thing. I mean, "It only takes a minute, girl", "I've got a little something for you", it's hardly showing off your merchandise is it?. We're going for the Lothario in Legwarmers chic, more Barry White than Boyzone. Actually, Keith is going to do all the strutting upfront. I'm going to "play" an accoustic guitar and look windswept. All this will be news to Keith. But I know he's gagging for it as much as anyone. Love tag xx +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Hey but was in vaguely in the I I and it? the into go c'mon and see.
by weejay 24 Jan '99

Hey, lay off Nicky... I think that "Five Leaves Left" is probably not the best thing to start with, but then again, just close your eyes and listen to "Time Has Told Me". Mmmmmmmmm..... And of course, Ms lesleyjo was heard to say: > simon says:>>n't the re-release of "Tigermilk" a pain in the arse > ?? My copy's gonna plummet in value now. Maybe I should sell > while I can.......nah, never. > Umm.....anyone else think that remark is...well....vaguely > EVIL??? tsk tsk, you money grubbers!! would you sell it > anyway? didnt' think so. enjoy it. dont' wrap it in plastic and > leave it in an airtight safe, all lonely until you'r 70 years old and > decide to use the money to buy a shiny new walker. you feebs! Damn, beat me to it...! As far as I'm concerned, I want everyone, yes EVERYONE to hear Tigermilk and not just a 4th hand warped tape of it, damnit. Though I quite like my little tape to tell the truth, I'll be out there on the day to buy it and then I'll be playing it to my uninterested friends until they do the same. Are you all up for it? Yeah? Yeah! Let's take over the world! Oh, what else, oh yeah, talking of taking over the world, what's the sinister consensus on the Gay Dad phenomenon? For non-British listees, we've a habit of propelling a previously unknown band into superstardom every year or so, and these are the lucky winners this time. I have to say I did go out and get the single, if only on tape, but I do think it's not half bad. Agree? Disagree? C'mon, let's have a heated debate! Oh, I've got to go - 4500 words worth of essays to write before wednesday and this place closes at 4.30 at weekends. But then I've got 2 1/2 weeks of break to enjoy and I'll see you then. bye, james xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx James(a)twopounds.u-net.com "My lover is inscrutable, in a stoic sort of way, Oh yeah my baby is as beautiful as a tourniquet" http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/cabaret/5523/ (Which will no longer crash your computer.

Sinister: Drake tree
by TFertig3＠aol.com 24 Jan '99

24 Jan '99

Hello again, Well my long curiousity of Nick Drake ended today. I bought Five Leaves Left, and I dunno what to think. It was a choice between that and Bryter Later, and this was the cheaper of the two.. I only really like a few songs, especially The Thoughts of Mary Jane. The whole album kinda makes me antsy. Like being on the verge of peeing in my pants. Very depressing stuff, it is. And I don't think that he sounds like Stuart Murdoch very much. More like Tom Waits, which is not a good thing. I once got a CD of Tom Waits out from the library, which is a pretty dorky thing to do. It was awful, and his voice sounded like what cow manure smells like. But I have not given up all hope on the Drakesty, because it seems as though the whole B&S-lover population adores his music. I think it's the lack of percussion that's driving me mad. Anyway, are his other albums better, or the same, or worse? If I don't really like this one all that much, should I even bother? Why people compare B&S to Nick Drake, I dunno. It's a mystery to me. The closest song I can think of that sounds like him, (based on the 10 Nick Drake songs that I now know) is Rhoda, I suppose. And I don't much like that song. I've got nothing really else to say, so I'll go now.. Tami xxxx p.s. Genevieve, maybe you can help me with Physics, as I have a mid-term this week, and I'm horrible at it! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Re: Sinister: Drake tree

In my opinion, BRYTER LAYTER is his best album and it's definitely worth picking up. If you find the lack of percussion on FIVE LEAVES LEFT to your distaste, then you most cetainly wouldn't dig his third and final album, PINK MOON. I would suggest that you try listening to FIVE LEAVES LEFT over and over - it really is a wonderful, yet challenging, record that requires repeated listenings to really get into. The reason I bought IF YOU'RE FEELING SINISTER in the first place was from reading favorable comparisons to Drake, Donovan, and The Fairport Convention. Maybe Donovan or Fairport would be better suited to your tastes. Any of Donovan's 1960's albums or Fairport's THINGS WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAYS would be a great place to start.

Sinister: Snail Trail

>mrs. murdoch: could you please be my mum too? and because the house would be >a bit small with both stuart and i, we would have to share a room and >snuggle under the covers, just me and stuart and my little lion named >roarrr. if you were my mum, would that mean that stuart and i >couldn't get >up to no good? i do suppose so. maybe we could work something out...i seem to be having explicit dreams involving stuart, baby oil and john 3:16 >pants. >actually, i don't even know john 3:16 so forget about the pants. Hooray for lust, does anyone else find the above more than a bit scary? I think that if anything like the above happened everyone involved would go straight to the can for infantile abuse. Oh, that song is on right now... I get to listen to my old radio station on the computer.... "I'm not waiting.... 'til I grow up..... to be a woman!!!" Thank you God. For Little Girls. Hey Jessica, my mom sucks too but go see the new Sharon Stone flick if you wanna see adoption gone horribly wrong, eh? Gawd, I never thought I'd recognize a Queens accent done =wrong=. I wonder if Sharon did field research... hanging out with the yentas down at Waldbaum's..... carrying a little notepad, "o.k., it's -sawlt an' peppah-. No you won't see my -vaginer- in the new flick". By the way, if you've ever seen the John 3:16 guy, he happens to look strikingly similar to Marty Krofft. Too similar. Though apparently John's in jail now for slaughtering his family but I don't know if he gets to the halfway house for book signings.... -Enoch ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Mambo Miam Miam!
by Genevieve Wesley 23 Jan '99

23 Jan '99

Hello list! Are you all having fun today? I'm not...I have to study..i'm not exactly the brightest crayon in the box, i'm not a math person..so that should make me a good english person,right? wrong!i am a nothing person.. essays drivve me insane..so i guess i'm a non-scolaire type of person...so grumble grumble..cartesian graphs and all that crap.. all rod...all night... lesley jo has a most lovely,cute page! you know that Isobel lookalike Edie Seberg picture? I don't know what Edie Seberg looks like,but I found Isobel actually looked a lot like Stuart Murdoch in that picture,except she's got curvy biceps,Stuart's got sharp defined ones. I think the Belle and Sebastian genes are splicing and mutating so they starting to ressemble each other more and more. and oh GOSH,i shoulda listened to tag sooner..serge gainsbourg,oh MY! wow wow,my heart beats FASTER.. i'm addicted now,that's it..no more eating for genevieve,all money goes to cds. and I thought those questions were really funny!it was pure,classic tag humour..i laughed out loud and last time i laughed out loud was John Warrender's jolly ranger post. we shouldn't be so uptight! now lets remove those sticks up our bums and be nicer to everyone. you have to be a little controversial in this mad mad sinister world,except that Keith! the favourite shape commentary was a little dangerous,perhaps too controversial,but i like the crazy,edgy genius it reveals. all rod...all night... what are ye-ye dresses? let's never speak of sagging on here again,that process or word,scare me to death. hi karolyne,hello! i live in quebec as well..i live in edelweiss,quebec (which you've probably never heard of)our only claim to fame being that our road was voted most beautiful of the gatineau hills..(YAY!) i go to school in terrible,sleazy, trashy Hull though. And what's wrong with boys! sometimes too sensitive is a little wimpy,yes? i'm mean..you have a scale,you don't want the 'make a sammich woman!' but too far in the opposite direction is just as bad, a man's man who's a little crusty is ok though.. sigh,like serge gainsbourg picking you up after school on a motorcycle or something,with red roses...on a breezy,warm summer afternoon. it's all a matter of style,if you can pull it off.My old french teacher Monsieur Austin,unbuttoned his shirt to mid-chest to reveal hairy chest and gold medallions...and he called me nou-nou. Now,he could not pull off that look. Those indie-glasses,same deal.They work best on cold,unattainable record shop boys in flares and obscure little tshirts..but not on Le Chateau boys! (who don't even have a vision problem) and what's wrong with thin frames? red wing's larinov looks gorgeous in his,that whole 'i'm intelligent but not pretentious,let me stroke my chin while i look at you intently' look. i still rather see everyone in indie-rock glasses than ridiculous huge yellow tommy hilfiger style jackets that look like people are preparing for a flood! all rod...all night... but we all know stuart murdoch is no wimp..the undie jokes,tea and biscuits and bar jokes,the pasty-faced mama's boys jokes? please...when he rips off that felt t-shirt and matching pants there is a whole lotta man to be loved. (don't feign innocence,you've all thought about this,those dirty dreams)he is The Mac,and we are all his bitches...(we just can't resist, and now back to newton's second law) miam miam and x o x o genevieve "Mine's a round ovally shape." ------- Keith Watson ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: B&S Vocals?
by Peter Greenspan 23 Jan '99

23 Jan '99

Hello all...Does anyone have any suggestions as to bands or individuals who sing in the same tone (lazy, muted, very melodic) as Stuart Murdoch? I have decided that one of the things about the band that makes them so unreal is S.M.'s delivery of the lyrics--and I have not been able to find other singers who can scream so loud without raising their voice like Stuart? p.s. I am also filing a formal appeal (i.e. begging) for anyone who can help me get the Black Sessions, or the NY 1997 show (I live around the block..literally..from where B&S played in 1997 and I didn;t know about them yet!!!). I am quite desperate and would do most anything to get those (or any) live shows. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
