Alternative Nation showed the vid for Dirty Dream last night, and I saw it this time. Who's in it then? For those who haven't seen it yet, it's basically lots of people looking at the camera individually, and occasionally doing stuff like pouring milk over themselves. MTV didn't show the Looper one though so I haven't seen that. Who said they could cut it to an hour? Well, about 40 minutes if you cut out all the adverts and the incredibly long ads for Celebrity Deathmatch. Poor old Dusty. I was listening to something of hers on a Burt Bacharach 3cd thing the other day.

Sinister: Greetings!!
by allen 03 Mar '99

Hi, everyone. I just joined the list recently and thought I'd post my first message! First of all, you all seem like nice folk and I'm starting to like getting all this new mail! :) A little about me, I'm 21 and live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (Go grab your atlases, everyone and have a look to find out where that is.) But I'm really from Edmonton, Alberta, which is a 3 hour drive north of Calgary. I'm working down here for a little while on an internship program. I'm in my 3rd year of Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta (tough stuff!). Anyway, I got into B&S a few months ago after seeing the video for Is It Wicked... and falling in love with the band. Lucky for me they had a special on Scottish bands that night and I just happened to tune in (I'm a huge fan of Teenage Fanclub and Cocteau Twins!). Well, I probably should get back to work now! Hope everyone has a great day! Bye. allen ussher -- "Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile Till your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle." -- Song to the Siren, Tim Buckley. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone
by Warrander John - FML 03 Mar '99

03 Mar '99

Hello Folks, Peter Miller brought some distressing news to our attention... >I'm listening to the late great Dusty Springfield and crying into >endless cups of tea. Something inside has died. Stop the clocks, etc. This is so tragic. I went to the NME pages and read the details about Dusty's death after reading this and I'm really very, very saddened by it. Dusty was undoubtedly one of the greatest singers that ever graced this world and I suspect she was a pretty bloody fantastic person too. I think I'll go home and cry into my tea too now. That's all, Love...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Jordi's Fanzine Fanfare

But I KNOW the >prostitutas con maydomo IS what I say IT IS SO THERE! Fluffy, I have the solution to your problems. First of all, if you click on the "tentaciones" part of El País, you'll find oodles and oodles of items of interst to groovy young people like ourselves, such as a lengthy interview with the guys out of Blur, and reviews of the latest records in the hit parade at home and abroad. They had B&S in once. If that is still not interesting enough for you, you could always try Jordi's excellent B&S fanzine, "Segundos de Luz", which I was lucky enough to receive a few days ago. It's in Spanish, so it would make an ideal exotic addition to any B&S fan's collection. For Sarah it doubles as an unbeatable opportunity to practise her Spanish. It contains the story of the band, song lyrics, interpretations of the song lyrics (lesbians in abundance!) and a review of Hefner. I just thought I'd mention it because Jordi seems reluctant to do so. While on the subject of all things Spanish, the inevitable has happened. I have seen Massiel's Eurovision winning performance on the telly. Not only was she wearing THAT dress, but she was doing a very spirited little dance at the same time. No wonder she beat poxy bloody Cliff Richard. I'm listening to the late great Dusty Springfield and crying into endless cups of tea. Something inside has died. Stop the clocks, etc. Peace be with you, Sister Disco of the Immaculate Conception PS: I think Paul went to see Kirsty McColl last night. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A lesson from the Bible
by Mrs Murdoch 03 Mar '99

03 Mar '99

Hello, it's Mrs. Murdoch here, Stuart's mum. It's been an unusual couple of weeks for us here in the Murdoch household. There was a picture of Stuart in the Troon herald last week, and lots of people have been phoning me up to congratulate me on my Brit Award winning eggs. I say it's not my doing at all, we just happen to have a Brit Award winning postman. I feel like I'm a bit of a celebrity myself, and spend an hour doing my hair and make up before heading down to the Co-op for Stuart's fish cakes. This week I've been reminded of the Bible parable, Hamish the Frog. I have typed it below, and hope you all read it carefully. Love, Mrs. Murdoch Hamish the Frog ================ Once upon a time there was a little frog called Hamish. Hamish was the pond hero because he could leap higher and further than all of the other frogs put together! In fact, he could even leap the whole pond in one single bound! One day a Kingfisher spotted Hamish leaping the pond and was astounded! "Gosh", he thought, "that's the most incredible sight I've ever seen! I know a lot of people that would like to see this. I wonder if Hamish would make a deal with me, that If I get lots of people to come and see him leap, we could charge them a pound each and split the money". The Kingfisher suggested the idea to Hamish. Hamish agreed, because he was skint, and didn't have anything better to do. The Kingfisher worked hard and gathered a huge crowd to see Hamish leap. The crowd were astounded, and happy to pay the pound charge. One member in the crowd, a little goldfish, had a great idea. "Kingfisher, Hamish is an amazing leaper to be sure. But it would be better if he had a wonderful obstacle to leap over, wouldn't it?". The Kingfisher agreed, so the little goldfish worked for three months solid making the bestest most lovliest obstacle any frog has ever leapt over . And the goldfish did it for nothing, because she wanted to, because she thought Hamish the frog was brilliant. The Kingfisher arranged another show, advertising the fact that Hamish was going to leap over the amazing obstacle the little goldfish had constructed. This time the Kingfisher decided to charge everybody two pounds. The crowd loved this show, and word spread of Hamish and the incredible obstacle all over the whole country. The next time that Hamish leapt over the obstacle the Kingfisher charged three pounds. And so on and so on until the Kingfisher was charging a ten pound spectator fee. And people paid it, because it was worth it. The little goldfish still paid her ten pounds like everyone else, even though it was her obstacle that was helping draw the crowds in. The goldfish did it because she wanted to, because she thought Hamish the frog was brilliant. And she was making a lot of friends as they went along, as was Hamish. One happy day Hamish won the Frog of the Year award for his leaping power. This meant that everyone in the world had heard of Hamish, and wanted to see him leaping over the obstacle. Some of the other frogs in the competition were jealous though, and said that Hamish only won because the obstacle was so grand. Which was partly true, but the award and the potential earnings that the Kingfisher could make blinded him to the fact. "Of course the obstacle had nothing to do with Hamish's success in the Frog of the Year competition", he said in a press release, "Hamish won because he is great". To prove the point that the obstacle had nothing to do with it, the Kingfisher put the little goldfishes obstacle in the bin, and made one himself. This upset the little goldfish very much, because he loved to see Hamish leap over it. And the sad fact is, the Kingfisher's obstacle wasn't as good as the little goldfishes. The people who had seen Hamish leaping over the old obstacle said to the Kingfisher, "Kingfisher, why don't you bring the goldfishes obstacle back and bin the new one, it's very nice but just not as good." Even Hamish asked the Kingfisher if he could leap over the old obstacle again. The Kingfisher didn't hear them though because new people were coming to see Hamish leap, who had never seen the old obstacle to know any better. He told the goldfish "you never made a difference to Hamish's success. Why don't you just get lost and stop annoying me". The Kingfisher was now charging people 20 pounds to see Hamish leap. And then a sad thing happened. As Hamish had become more and more successful the goldfish had been there. All the people who had become friends with Hamish had also become friends with the goldfish. They decided they wouldn't go and see Hamish leap anymore because they didn't want to pay the greedy Kingfisher money. Which was sad because it meant that Hamish didn't see any of his old friends who had supported him as his popularity grew. He began to feel lonely. Eventually Hamish got sick of leaping over the shoddy obstacle. "Kingfisher", he said ,"I've had enough. I won't leap over that shoddy obstacle for you anymore. You've taken the fun out of my leaping, and none of my old friends are here, so I'm off". But the Kingfisher didn't care anyway because he'd made a lot of money. "I never needed you anyway", he told Hamish. Hamish went back to leaping over the pond like he used to do, and lived happily ever after amongst his friends. No-one really cares what happened to the Kingfisher. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Take two:I've had my very first B&S dream!
by Andras Zalan Szolnoki 03 Mar '99

03 Mar '99

Hello Everyone ! (EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-))))))))))))))) This feel pretty odd.You see I've posted a letter quite similar to this one, only that other letter was sent to the "old" address. I hope it doesn't get sent to Sinister.Anyway, as I was saying: I had my very first B&S dream a couple of nights ago. I've read about them a lot on and I was starting to feel as a bit of an outsider, by not having one of my very own. Not owning a genuine copy of Tigermilk and , so far, not having been able to see them live doesn't make it easier. But that's all forgotten now! Because I've have had a Belle dream, and in my dream The Belle Band played belle music and Nick Drake made a guest appearance. What else could you possibly whish to dream about???????? ....playing with The Bellesters would be a good one. As a result I've ordered a small collection of Jeepster vinyls, and sold out 7" on cd.Soon I'll have Looper.........and some Gentle Waves......,and less money to drink and buy records for. And I really need some cash. I have a 'Enga-Cheaallsii mach I have to buy tickets for on friday. How do you say pronounce Cheaallsii in Italian?? Oh, by the way....David.....David..my records are coming soon,right? I've must say I'm pretty jealous of the people who are going to this Bowling-Festival. I must say I'm not sure why B&S would play at some bowling hall, though. I hate bowling. Unless you can drink and listen to good music. But still it's boring. B&S should come to the Roskilde Festival!!!!!!!!!! They really should! The world's greatest festival with the world's best band. It's logical. What is not logical is why we are having a blizzard.Why? It's been snowing all day long. Well it's time for me to get back to some serious phonemic-transcriptions. Ciao!
