Sinister: college, gigs, and the theatrical experience
by Adam Robinson 25 Mar '98

25 Mar '98

Just adding my two penn'orth to the debate generated by David-who-is-Ruth-McCurry's interesting post. I too utterly wasted my time at university and really regret it now. Doing an English degree, I had the opportunity to spend three years reading, thinking and expanding my mind and instead I spent it going to lots of really terrible nightclubs and being unable to get up in the morning. With hindsight I think the best way to enjoy college (should you be lucky enough to have the opportunity to go) is to balance your social life with at least a modicum of academic pursuit. God ! i sound like my Dad ! I think the first gig you ever go to is always going to be special, just because the whole experience is so exciting, it doesn't really matter who it is, unless, like someone I know, you've only ever been to one gig and that was the Flying Pickets. Some of my gig highlights have been Prince on the "lovesexy" tour - tears in my eyes during "The Cross". Happy Mondays at Leeds Warehouse - loads of mates there, the feeling that you're there at the beginning of something important. The Blue Nile - just being in a room full of people that are beside themselves with joy to see these people actually on a stage. David said he'd never seen anything in the theatre that replicated that feeling. At the risk of sounding like a mincing thesp, I'm lucky enough to have seen things that, for me, have. I grinned for days after seeing "Guys and Dolls" at the National last year and only last week Patrick Marber's "Dealers Choice" left a deep impression. I hope all that didn't sound pompous. I'll go now. Cheers, Adam. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

It was just another chance to avoid working life. Of course there are many acceptions but I do think that there is an awful lot of people who just wasting away tax payers money and part of me agrees what Labour are doing. However, I have come out of college in so much debt that it seems I'm never going to be free of it, it's like every penny I ever earn is never going to be mine. So maybe I don't completly agree with you after all. Now I'm realy confused.

Therefore, nothing will compare to them, if what you say is true. I do sort of understand how wonderful B&S now, I think. Nothing comes close to the (god I hate this word too) spiritual feeling that Belle & Sebastian put inside me (apart from Arab Strap, but that's I different feeling - B&S are about love and Arab Strap are about hate). I see people at school listening to things like Robbie Williams' Angels and saying it's a really spiritual song and they can cry at it and I know that they are too naive to understand that there is so much better out there, than some fat melodramatic warbler who needs a bit of cash. Anyway, if I don't realise how good they are, I will do when they're gone.

Even though they shamble around >on stage like a bunch of fools, the end result astonishes me every time. I do know exactly what you mean, I've had pretty much the same experience as you except with the Stone Roses rather than the Smiths, being five years younger than you, but again none of them match Belle and Sebastian, no other band would drag me further than a train journey to Glasgow to go and see them and I went to Manchester and was all ready to go to London last year too. Lots of stuff about it is different, it's more like going to actually listen to some music rather than be thrown around in a massive mob and "hear" music being played at 150 dBs which it's basically impossible to hear. It's also like a preview of a load of new songs too cause they always play stuff you haven't heard yet which I like. Plus they do them in different sorts of places - which is kind of like what the Roses did (at least, when they ruled), which makes you feel that it's a bit more special. Pity the Kelvingrove park do didn't come off, I think that would've been great fun. I hope they should attempt some sort of outdoor thingy again sometime.

Sinister: The High
by Keith Watson 25 Mar '98

25 Mar '98

>> > got a question. Does anybody know if The High, The La's, > >don't know about The High, Funny you should mention about the high... Tag and myself found a "Best of the High" album kicking about in HMV in Edinburgh which we thought was pretty funny - given that they only had one album in the first place... (at least as far as I'm aware of) I don't know whether or not this best of affair just had the album tracks kind of rearranged on it or what. Box Set Go was a nice single though, pity the band were crap. Cheers, Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Contrary to popular belief some buses have big signs on the front that say "EXETER". Exeter has many buses. In one of your many moments of drunkardness, you might go out on a limb and offer the man who sits at the front of the bus (sometimes called a driver) copious amounts of Sterling so that he might take you to the aforementioned destination. Once there head for Queen Street, and the Cavern Club and meet lots of really nice (but mostly sarcastic) bumpkins..Oh, and Alistair seeing as he's organising it !!!! Alternatively hitch aride on the back of a tractor, it's sure to be coming down here somewhere. I'M GOING NOW !!
