Sinister: like the corners of my mind

That sounds horribly like one of those conversational snippets you overhear when the underground is packed with exchange students. >...I don't listen to all those bands anymore,but I am still Brit, Eire and Scot Mad! Why "Eire"? I'm curious. No, really, I am. I can understand "Brit", (weren't we all in that crazy summer? Powder supporting Verve. Donna Matthews in armless tee-shirts. Jarv on 'Pop Quiz'), and "Scot" just about sums up my life, but why "Eire". Tell me it's not The Corrs, please. >It was destined for me...to buy that Q... D'you think it would be cruel of me to giggle at the notion of Q magazine reaching out and touching people's lives around the world? Probably. >ohmygoodnes,Grease is coming back to the theatres! >(...those summmmer niiiihiiights...) Awwwww. Bless. A girl after my own heart. My kid brother's tomboy friend Sarah knows all the words to 'Grease' (as well as to 'Dirty Dancing'), and once paraded round his birthday party innocently singing a paean to a "real pussy wagon". I can't be the only one to have cringed slightly at the whole IRC affair. Like most devotee/pop star get-togethers, it felt slightly forced, and not a little embarrassing, for both sides. It's much better to have an idealised picture of your pop stars in your head, and to run with it for as long as you can, than to find out what they're really like. That's not to say B&S aren't utter sweeties, but I kinda preferred it when all I had to go on were the sleevenotes, and the little pictures on the back of 'Tigermilk'. love, Joseph "Only the truly shallow do not judge by appearances" Robinson in Space ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: re: opening bands & bad records

Paige said: <<and I have sat through a lot of dull and/or bad opening bands (don't even get me started on Kenickie....). >> No really?? I saw Kenickie a year ago and thought they were brilliant... full of energy, really sassy and adorable and their between-song banter with the crowd was, as they say, "hella funny". BUT THEN AGAIN.... <<I feel that after my Menswear admission everyone should now declare the most embarrassing record in their collection>> ... this is coming from someone (erm, me) who had not one, but *two* Soup Dragons tapes... that's punishable by a ticket straight to Hell, isn't it am I the only one who was disappointed by "The Secret History"??? plus the books I've read by Amis and Coupland... But I'll vouch for "In cold blood"'s brilliance. tchau queridos taralula ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: chat
by Megan Searing 19 Mar '98

19 Mar '98

Hello all, Megan, here, finally posting from DC (though I may perhaps win the prize for lurking longer than anyone ever in the history of the list!) Moved to post now only because I feel strongly about the whole chat thing. What strikes me most about the event is that it would not have even been possible 10 (or maybe even 5) years ago. That it did happen and that various people were able to interact with the band at all is, in some ways, pretty amazing. Regardless of whether you have positive/negative feelings about B&S members based on the chat--those are insights you would not have had if it hadn't happened. I didn't witness the entire thing (only peeped over Pam, my officemate's, shoulder) but what I did see definitely added another dimension to my idea of who B&S are, even if (or especially when) they were just playing. And I thought Stuart M's message to the list was very kind and just plain lovely (he seemed to like the Felt questions). So cheers to all who made it happen and I'll shut it there I think. Sorry for such a scary serious paragraph especially for a virgin poster. Not much of an introduction! Though some of you may remember Pam outing me as the non-posting Nimrod a few weeks back, does that count? The DC B&S picnic we're planning (May 9, Mt. Pleasure, oops I mean Pleasant) has received an astounding response, at latest count we'll number about 15! Email us privately for details etc. Thanks if you've read this far!

Sinister: Durham/Klute & Spain
by Huw Jenkins 19 Mar '98

19 Mar '98

I'm going up to Durham tonight for my graduaion, I know there's someone on this list from Durham and I just wanted to know if there is anything going on in Klute tonight and this weekend. Thats all soryy t lacked anything at all to do with B&S. But wait. I've had an idea. Is there any chance of Jeepster or anyone else organising a trip to Spain this Summer to B&S in Benicassim, it sounds like a mental festival and I'm gong anyway but it would be cool if something were organised foir the fans. huw Anyone driving up North tonight from London and want to share the petrol?
