Sinister: "Damn you, Flash Gordon!"
by Alan Prior 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

so i'm walking along Prince's Street one morning (this was ages ago, by the way), and i go into BHS (don't ask why). i go downstairs into the lighting department and you know how in shops like that you'd expect to hear cacky elevator muzak? Well, guess what was playing? Belle and Sebastian!!!!!!! Omigod! People must've thought i was daft cus i just stood there listening for the duration of the song. Mad. I also heard the god-like genius of the manics being played in there. would have thought that would've been too intensely intense for your average weekday shopper, but i guess i was wrong...ah well, stranger things have happened. After my Film Quote of the Day; "if i ever start refering to these as the best days of my life, remind me to kill myself", Rod wrote; >ooh! i know that one, but can't place it for the life of me. heathers? Ahahahahaha. You're wrong. I laugh only cos he did get Sarah's RAWK one. Bah. You think you're so clever... ; - ) (Rod, that is...Sarah's immensely classy, so there.) It was from 'Dazed and Confused', actually (not that embdy's interested). Such a cool film. Not watched it quite as many times as Star Wars, but getting there... Anyhoo, will stop boring yous all with my meaningless drivel... Yay! Parents going away for two weeks! Big, nay, HUGE parties will ensue...24 hour drunkenness and expected parallysis by the end of week 1. Ra! Only 10 days left of school EVER! (then... watch out Glasgow!) Hurrah for me. Big grin etc, etc... keep rocking like a big mad thing..... love, Debbie xxx. "...but it's okay. I was innoculated with little jabs of religion when I was at Junior School, and it's always prevented me from catching the real thing" Emo Philips ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I think you'll find the pigeon noises were definitely of a PooPooooo nature with emphasis on the first poo.

Now then Jon, in your capacity as list expert on CTV, you will be able to confirm for me that in fact Watoo Watoo was a classic cartoon character. I remember the name and that I loved it, but cannae remember jack-all else about it. Anyone care to describe a classic episode to me ? Next up sad songs. I'm no bloody good on music so you'll have to help me out here. First Up...Instrumental track on New Orders Low Life LP featured on Pretty in Pink I believe. Very powerful track which brings back memories of every failed relationship ever in three and a half minutes. Next Up...Track 9 on Depeche Modes Songs of Faith and Devotion. A most wonderful album when Gahan was getting a bit jesusy..whoops sorry Jesusy. Sort of goes (apologies for my terrible voice) "Oh Giiiiirrrrrrl, lead me into your darkness, for thissssa world is trying it's hardest to leave me unimpressed." Definitely one that got played loads during the great depression of '97. Anymore for anymore ?...How can no-one have put JD's "Atmosphere". Wow...just hand me the indoor washing line now...

In fact, she's one of the only ones I can remember, but that doesn't matter - she was fab. She used to drive over these hills that were totally round - "like the side of an orange" (a quote from my history textbook, describing roads in the 18th century). And there was a song whenever she drove - it just went "Long Distance Clara - Long Distance Clara". Ohhh...,happy memories. I think we should start a campaign to bring pigeon street back again - for the sake of the nation. **** Sleep The Clock Around is just the best song in the world....ever.....16. I adore it. Does anyone else just marvel at that piano solo? It's amazing. If it's on the new album, I will be very happy. It won't be though. I know it won't be [Anguish] jon g.

Re: Sinister: Sad Songs
by Junior/Fabiana 02 Apr '98

>- R.E.M.: "Find The River", "You Are The Everything", "Nightswimming", Have you already listened to Gene's version on Nightswimming? I just can't believe how beautiful it is... And there are also songs that makes me cry a river, not for beign exactly sad...probably the most remarkable by now is "Ladies and gentleman we're floating in space". Fabiana P.S.: Yesterday I forgot to mention Cure's "Pictures of You" (more by the intro than for its lyrics). I will love you till I die and I will love you all the time...

Sinister: Lighthouses

>What people like Rodd Begbie don't understand when they say >>In my considered opinion, da Spiceys ROOL! >is that people our age and below genuinely like the Spice Girls, Backstreet >Boys etc like we like B&S, whereas people like Rodd only like them as a joke. >It is a joke, isn't it? It must be. It can't be true. I dunno whether Rodd treats liking the Spice Girls as a joke, although paying twenty quid or something like that to go and see them - you can get more personal attention down the Fantasy bar at Tollcross for twenty quid Rodd than having to go and stand with a load of grannies and 3 year olds at the SECC singing that you love your mummy. I find it hard to believe also that the Spice Girls "rule", they're just kind of bland really. I've always hated this post-ironic shite, cause I don't believe it really exists - however, the likes of the backpassage boys really take the biscuit, they're serious pish aren't they. I never thought anyone would actually top the Lighthouse Family for pure, blind, blandness but they have a bloody good stab at it. Still you've always had to deal with bland music, be it Phil Collins, Brotherhood of Man, Colour me Badd etc. Ian Brown made a good point about this years ago being that there's no use complaining about it, just get in there and stamp them out... So maybe I will - look out people living in Lighthouses, here I come baby.... comin to git ya! Love, me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Hahahahahaa, you'll never guess this, the whole thing was going horribly well up until this point, all strangely true, at least almost all of it, and then I get to 11, and the song I've chosen pretty much at random from the CD's on my desk is Sly Stone's "Family Affair"!
