Oh, don't go getting me started! I LOVED that show, we always used
to watch it on sundays when i was at my grandparents' house. And it
didn't help that my mum is calculus teacher. That's the only skit i
remember really well from that show though, it was so lame! All i
remember other than that was numbers flying all ober the screen. Scary.
And that computer guy, i think MAx was his name, from the TV set. Even
scarier. I was trying to think of this one show i watched when i was a
wee tot, it was called the Wuzzles or something, only it wasn't. It was
this show with funny looking puppets who lives in a cave. What a
wonderful description by me. Does anyone have the foggiest idea what
I'm talking about?
On another note, the excitment is brewing in my neck o' the woods.
Since i can't find too many B&S fans around here, i'm making my own. So
far i have 2 who are really interested. It's a fun project to keep you
busy, try it sometime. Yay :D

Another non B&S entry. It's just a harmless bit of fun. Try it, it's cool.
I promise I won't send anything else no B&S related again.

You sick bastard, Rod. I saw the dynamic duo in Coventry, starring in Emu in
Pantoland. They were magnificent. And the late great Billy Daintee was even
better. The people sitting next to me may have wondered what I was on....EMU
POWER of course.
Nice to see "Goodbye to Love" get a mention. The guitar solo alone is worth
the price of admission, really superb fretwork, a proper sonic meltdown of
the kind Jimi Hendrix could only dream about. I think I'll go and listen to
it now.

ok groovers, so i know this subject is dead and almost buried, but i must
put in my 2 bobs worth as i have been dwelling on the subject for *such* a
long time!!...such a ditherer...but i was nervous, this being my first
posting and all...of course i'm talking about the sad songs thingy
(collective groan)...i know, i know, but bear with me!!
i think i may have given this just a *little* too much thought, but it was
hard for me, because i found that most of the songs that make me feel sad
also make me feel happy at the same time!! it's just too much fun at times
to wallow in ones sorrow. it can tend to be a comforting experience i
find...
the ultimate one for me is THE CARPENTERS...they get me every time, but
especially "goodbye to love", "solitaire" and "rainy days and
mondays"...these are a real indulgence!! others that make it to my list are:
NICK CAVE - loom of the land
PJ HARVEY - plants and rags
THE GOD MACHINE - it's all over
LOU REED - perfect day
RADIOHEAD - street spirit, climbing up the walls, lucky
SMASHING PUMPKINS - to forgive
ARROSA - bells
PEARL JAM - black
unfortunately my happy list is not quite as comprehensive...this was even
harder to formulate!! most of my happy songs tend to be those that are good
for driving on those perfectly wonderous days when it is a joyous occasion
to be alive!!! many of you have recounted such experiences....
anyway, 3 i shall share with you now are:
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS - "bird house in your soul". was most impressed to see
someone else mentioned this chirpy marvel...just pipped to the post!!
SPENCER DAVIS GROUP - "gimme some lovin' "
STYLE COUNCIL - "shout to the top". this song is perhaps one of my favourite
high school remembrances as it featured in one - no, THE only, P.E class i
ever enjoyed!! we spent the entire period running around like maniacs,
calling it "modern dance", this song blaring out and reverberating around
the gym...what a feeling!!
you will no doubt notice the absence of any masterpiece from that
group...you know, whatstheirname - they are the reason this list was
formulated in the first place...you know the ones...8) well they would need
their very own "feeling" list altogether, but that's another posting....
happy easter dears...

Helooooooo. Boys and Girls!
It's your colorful Aya again!
Check this out.
I went record shop in Machida (the suburb of Tokyo),they said
"POWER PICK!!! B&S's new album is coming to us in April 7th!!!"
SO! I never heard about new album coming and I ran into this store today.
I thought I could be the 1st girl having new B&S album. hehehe~
MEN! It was Japanese version of "If you feeling sinister". DAMN!!
And it named "A sigh of Angel" hn.
This frustration is enough to buy a new CD, so I got "TRICATEL6"
It was gooood gooood. Guitar lif(rif) is killer.
Now in here B&S become very big deal in Tokyo. Some of major record shop is
saying "MUST! Item to B&S. Kind of famouse magazine has B&S issue. And I saw
the other Japanese guys around sinister mailing list. (say:IRUTOMO!!)
Love and peace!
AyaXXXX
=PS =If you went to see Brian Jonstown Massacre in London, Let me know about
it. PLEASE!!

I've had a long weekend, so there's shedloads in my mailbox. All replies

Snuff do a punk cover version of this. It's on the Deceptive 50 album.

Saw him doing a show in the MacBob in Stirling, accompanied by Jonathon
Cohen on piano. The only joke I remember is him saying he would get the
name of someone in the audience, and instantly think of a song with their
name in it. A girl shouts out her name, and he launches into Happy
Birthday.

I read somewhere that the choice of window was meant to relate to the
topic of the film, so if it was about making footballs, they went through
the round window. For this reason, the arch window was almost never used.

It was only on in STV-land. I went to one of his shows, too, and won a
jigsaw with him and Paladin and Rusty on it. I'm still upset that he
didn't read out my birthday when my mum sent it in, though.
> Someone mentioned 'Gregory's Girl'... Omigod, I love this film!
Much as I love it, I'm really concerned about the news that Bill Forsyth
is making a sequel. The story is apparently going to be about Gregory now
that he's approaching middle-age. I can't imagine it will be anything
near as gripping as the original.

That's the way it seems to me. One list member told me that he was pissed
off by my flippant comments about "Kate Winslet's tits and hand shandies"
(his words, not mine), but the posting of the Sinister sleaze-quiz (anal
sex and masturbation featuring quite heavily) drew nary a complaint from
him.
And I have been accused of being a misogynistic racist cunt after posting
that Spice Girls gag, by someone who clearly has no idea of what "racist"
means. Describing someone as "black" is not racist. Stereotyping someone
*because* they're black is. I do not get offended if someone describes me
as blond. If someone said "All blond people have small willies", I might
have cause for complaint. (oh, and as for the "misogynist" tag, tell that
to my sister who originally told me that joke.)

After the Ferris Bueller discussions on here, I bought the video on
Saturday for a fiver. Spent the weekend at my parents' house, and what
should be on satellite but... Ferris Bueller. Along with The Breakfast
Club and another John Hughes teen-angst movie. An effing top night was
had by all.

Worms 2 is standing me in good stead at the moment. (two weeks til my
finals. <sigh> I'm panicking about how little I've done, and yet can't
get motivated to do anything. I wish I could be a committed go-getter
type, but I just cannot be arsed.)
On Sun, 5 Apr 1998, Courtney Knopf wrote:
> I finally visited Rod's page. I was endlessly amused and I cannot wait

Well, to start with, here's the 50-words-or-less review I wrote for Melody
Maker's "Readers Lives" section:
"Tonight, the Spicey bandwagon rolled in to town, and though it may damage
my cred to admit it, I was there, slamming it to the left, with 8,000
like-minded fans. I can be an indiekid the other 364 days. Tonight
Matthew, I'm going to be Pop Boy."
The concert itself was just unreally great. I danced, I jumped, I
screamed, I waved, I cheered, I sang. It was terrific. The gals were
onstage for about 1hr 40mins, which is impressive when you consider that
the two albums combined are only 1h20m. Their costumes were smart and Mel
C got the biggest cheer of the night when she came on in a Scotland
football top.
Surprise of the night goes to Victoria's voice, which was *astounding*!
Considering the fact that when Wannabe came out, I described her as "the
one at the back who doesn't sing", it was incredible how great she sounded
when doing songs like Viva Forever.
The audience was mainly pre- to early-teen girls (with parents in tow),
but it has to be said that they were nowhere near as up-for-it as me, my
sister and her friend (ages 21, 19 and 20 respectively). I mean, they
*sat down* for goodness sake! We were up on our feet the whole time, and
I fear that the 10-year-olds next to me were thinking "What is that wanker
on?", the answer to which being "GIRL POWER!"
It opened with William Shatner's voice booming "SPICE... the final
frontier. Their mission: To boldly go where no girl group has gone
before", and finished with them leaving the stage to the riff from
"Firestarter"
And the songs... well, you know them all already, but the way they ripped
through them was unreal. And they finished with a storming version of "We
Are Family".
What? Did you expect a bad review?

<sulk> Humph. Well, if you want a reason to go back, I've got about 15
photos of me (ranging from baby to early teens) in my bag which I'm
scanning in after I've finished going through all the Sinister mail, and
which I'll put online soon. Try http://www.begbie.com/rod/photos/ after
about three o'clock. I'll get around to doing webpages around them some
other time.

They *did* do this. I saw a version of SKY a few years back, where they'd

Phew, that's everything. Tune in on Thursday for another exciting
installment of Rod's Brain.
And please, don't have knightmares...
