Sorry, I know the 80's teen movies thread was months ago but I don't care. Actually this gives me an excuse to go even further back to the mis-hearing of lyrics, as I used to think it was "Look at me, I'm on TV, it makes up for the shortcomings of being born" (as opposed to being poor) which I think is better, as it explains Anthea Turner. Hope to see one or two of you before (and/or at) Salako/Sodastream tomorrow. This is probably what we should have done last week (i.e. going straight to the pub and not having a picnic) as it was bound to rain, I mean it's Glasgow, for fucks sake. Still, it's not our fault, we were born shambling buffoons and that's the way we'll no doubt stay. By the way, if anyone knows who's organising the films at Bowlie, could they slip them a tenner and ask them not to put Annie Hall on at the same time as any decent bands? I think it's only fair that the Greatest Film Ever Made (TM) should be seen by as many people as possible.

Sinister: It'll be a heavy drive back east......
by Pete Ramsdale 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

Oh no. God in heaven help us. Someone has mentioned the Drop Nineteens. Pete goes off on one..... Sorry Michelle - hope that last line didn't make you think that a no-holds-barred slagging was in the pipeline. In fact, quite the opposite - I have only ever really listened to one song by the Drop Nineteens, which is "Delaware". But, totally unbeknown to you, that one song means oh so very much. It was put on a tape for me by an ex-girlfriend - who is still (three-and-a-half incredibly mopey years later) the only woman I have ever loved. Well, apart from my mum, but she doesn't really count in this context, I guess). It's still one of the undoubted highlights of said piece of ferric craftsmanship, and probably will remain so. I love it: a long, laid-back, instrumental intro, followed by an exquisite break into slightly more upbeat tunesmanship with lyrics that, although I'm buggered if I can understand them, are very probably quite beautiful. Oh, yes - a band to be applauded, lauded, and, if the fancy takes you, anything else ending in 'auded'. Which brings me neatly to both the B&S content of this letter (not very bloody much, as usual), and a point of conversation that I would like to raise with the list. Is it just me (I really shouldn't begin with that as most of the time it simply elicits the ever-so-predictable answer of 'yes'), or has anybody else ever encountered the following: you've been given a tape with a certain song on it, and then you buy the album that the song has been lifted from. On listening to the album, you hear the tune in question. The tune ends, and you start singing the next song from the tape you've been given, and not the album. Thus making, if you are in company, what is commonly known in the business as a right tit of yourself. Oh, the amount of times I have unwittingly disappeared down that road. Mostly, so it happens, with 'Sleep the Clock Around', which is followed (in my mind at least) by "Ice Hockey Hair" by the Super Furries, and not 'Is it Wicked Not to Care' at all. Maybe I'm just Upton Park (two stops short of Barking, for those who don't live or work in London). At least they rhyme, I suppose. Support, piss-taking, or a whip round to get me committed to Colchester General Hospital mental patients wing will be gratefully accepted. Well, that's it for now. I'm going to retire to my rather plush, rubber-lined bedroom. cheerybye, p xx. -- ---------------------------*||*------------------------------ Life is full of regrets, and I've had a few, as Frank Sinatra once sang, before hiccuping loudly and falling over sideways.

Sinister: More Glasgow drinking shenanigans
by Ailsa Ross 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

Following the wash-out that was the Glasgow picnic, I was wondering if anyone wanted to do it all in miniature and in warmth tomorrow night, the excuse being the Salako and Sodastream gig at Nice and Sleazy's. I am going for a pint with the mysterious MS1996 in the Old Printworks in North Frederick Street and hereby extend an open invitation to other Sinsterettes to come and join us. I did put this on the noticeboard, but suddenly realised that no-one has noticed and if they have they have been keeping awfully quiet. http://www.belleandsebastian.co.uk/cgi-bin/mboard/belle/thread.cgi?129,4 if you are interested. Apologies if you are not. I had lots of interesting things I wanted to say but I can't remember what they are. Except that Kevan Cooke, I am terrified at the prospect of playing Trivial Pursuit with you at Bowlie :) Ailsa xx *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Roolin' Berries
by Kevan Cooke 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

Hello folks Is there something wrong with the page that lists the Bowlie line-up? The bottom of the page doesn't seem to be loading, the bit where it says that Roolz will be there. If it's Roolz who are playing stage two on the sunday night then I'd be more worried about overcrowding in there. Looper are playing as a full band? Wow, it'll be like when Dylan went electric. The shortness of the Looper album is more of an issue for me than any running melodic theme. That Beethoven bloke used to do whole albums with the same bits of melody repeated over and over again, but at least he managed to stretch them out to more than thirty minutes. Sometimes he even got them to fit the maximum length of a CD exactly. That's dedication for you. A special interest film called "Student Nurse"? I think I might have seen that one. Mick, the Rockin' Berries had a handful of UK hits in 1965 (all cover versions) and peppered their otherwise fine records with novelty tunes like "The Laughing Policeman". It sounds like the people who compiled the record you found were confusing the Rockin' Berries with their label mates the Ivy League, because the other bands you mentioned are Ivy League offshoots. The keyboard player with the Flowerpot Men was Jon Lord, the guy out of Deep Purple. The rest of the band used to be in the Ivy League, and before that were session musicians who provided backing vocals on both The Who's debut single and also "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones.

Sinister: struggling in the vortex, with my jacket made from goretex
by PAUL J GARDINER 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

While reading the University of Abertay Dundee "magazine" today I came across this "Belle and Sebastian: The Boy With the Arab Strap Light candles, drink wine, kick-back, and become enveloped in a carefree, softly spoken dream world, in which the album design and accompanying videos, add to the effect. The surprise winners are a delight to listen to, procuring a sound between Simon & Garfunkle and The Cranberries; and they sing about Dundee:Very avant garde. RATING 8/10" the cranberries!! I vow to hunt this guy down and do bad things to him. paul gardiner +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: A Tango with Death OR Flute Solos
by Mick McMick * Sandcastle Records 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

Hi, Er, no one died, just so you all know. Hm...been a pretty eventful few days it seems. Lotsa newbies with amusing/interesting first posts. As I was walking about today, I found myself humming a song. "What is this song?" I found myself wondering. In fact, after a few steps I realized that it was the A-side to the new Castaway Stones single. The odd part to this is that due to a previously broken record player I've only had the chance to listen to the record once (well, at the time of the humming I had). So...definately catchy. Hm, I find myself wondering something: if the Gentle Waves have a flute, etc. player, does this mean we can expect her to lend her flauting skills to the next B&S record? I certainly hope so. None in a number of various instrument solos has ever quite matched that flute solo in "Belle & Sebastian." Really, I mean that, it's really great. I found myself liking flute solos from then on, and since that wasn't a B&S member playing, we've all been deprived of flute solos post-Dog on Wheels. I was delighted to see Ferris Bueller's Day off in the list of movies being shown, despite my financial inability to attend. Definately the best teen flick of the 80's, in these eyes. As an aside, does anyone know if there's a way to get ahold of the soundtrack? Out of curiosity I checked Amazon.com and I got The Rockin' Berries Featuring Jefferson. Somehow I don't that's the same thing. Oh, nevermind, I found some info on it. Apparently there were only 20 copies of it. That explains some things. And one of the songs I like was by the Flowerpot Men. Anyone? Anyone? Okay I'll get off this topic. Lastly, I would like to say if anyone is in Chicago, they should really check out the art museums there. I have a bad time with museum names, but the one they go to in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (I think it's something like The Chicago Art Museum or a similar no-brainer) is great and has several Dali's. And a trip to Chicago is not complete without a stop at Reckless Records. Yep. Okay, that's enough for me, must get back to work. /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick/Sandcastle Records <<->> bp224996(a)ohiou.edu \ / Sandcastle Records Homepage: ICQ#5056758 | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | -Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Book reports
by Chris Butler 16 Apr '99

16 Apr '99

Lurkers unite! [ My only weakness is a list of rhymes ] So what does this have to do with anything? Very little except that I had my first Belle and Sebestian dream last night. I was a student in a wee-kiddie classroom where all the students were barnyard animals save me. Isobel was the teacher and we were turning in book reports. I remember liking very much how she sat on the corner of her desk in her starched white blouse, oddly wearing those cat-like glasses common in the late 50's. It made me wonder whether she was part cat, although she had no such physical characteristics to mention. I was so shy that when I went to turn in my book report that I wasn't able to look her in the face. I walked right up to her with my eyes averted (I think down) and slid my paper on the top of the pile. All I could think was that I hoped she would like mine and read it in class the next day. I figured if that happened the next time I turned in my book report I'd look her straight in the eyes... Anyway, not much of a wild dream, just more of a spring daydream so it sent me off to think of faux book report titles (or perhaps more like theses) that might catch the eyes of a literary sweetie, hopefully one that was as much of a nutter as myself. Some books I've been reading: - South of the Border, West of the Sun (Murakami) * The Self-Erotic Destruction of the Soul : A Deviant Buddhism Explored - The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Murakami) * Well or Sewer? Overlapping Reincarnations of a Japanese Neo-Hippie - Master and Margerita (Bulgakov) * Temporally Challenged: Soliloquoy of a Fork-Tongued Narcissist - The Bremen Town Musicians (Grimm) * Dog, Rooster, Cat, Ass: A Knickerless Pilgrimmage Unravelled senor droolcup [ lean to love me, assemble the ways ] +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
