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?

Well that's a bloody great pity isn't it. Belle and Sebastian and the chat operators both fail to live up to your high standards of conduct. Well you are a journalist I suppose and people really ought to treat you with more respect than others. There were a lot of people from lots of different places, with lots of different interests and there were people of many different ages involved in that chat. If someone wants to ask what colour socks someone wears then that's up to them - or would you suggest that perhaps all questions should be vetted by you personally before anyone's allowed to ask them. I suspect there were some people out there who were quite interested in what their favourite Felt song was. Not everyone's going to care - but that's not the point. Incidentally, what questions did you ask yourself? Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: yeats and crazy 8s
by Runegg 19 Mar '98

19 Mar '98

Here's a short Yeats poem to write lots of English papers about. You could write a whole life to this poem, actually. Poor Willie, spent his whole life trapped in unrequited love for Maud Gonne. And he still had decades more torture to go when he wrote this poem. I guess it helped him write some great poems, but did he live a half-life? I hope there were "others", as he says, or else he doomed himself. Well, this poem blows my mind nohow. --Ari A Deep-Sworn Vow Others because you did not keep That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine; Yet always when I look death in the face, When I clamber to the heights of sleep, Or when I grow excited with wine, Suddenly I meet your face. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: A Century of Bradys.
by Yummycats 19 Mar '98

19 Mar '98

Recently, I made a post about the similarites about melody of the songs, "Century of Fakers," and "There is Love (The Wedding Song)." Believe it or not, I just heard another song with the same melody - "Road To Love" performed by Maureen McCormick and Chris Knight (aka, Marcia and Peter Brady). Anyone who doesn't believe me, just ask and I'll send you a .wav file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: Are they still alive?

> > got a question. Does anybody know if The High, The La's, > No idea on these... The LA's have split a long time ago (I don't know exactly when, but I suppose it was about hmmm...5 years...maybe?). Someone from The LA's has formed Cast (I'm not sure if it was the guy who's now Cast's singer, John Power). Cast debut album "All Change" was released in 1995, containing the hit "Alright". Their second album was released in 97, but I've never heard it. I only know one song from The LA's, but I'm sure they are much better than Cast. "There She Goes" is a CLASSIC! A band who did a song like THIS could never be bad, it's completely impossible! While Cast...is poor. Not bad, but...nothing special. The guy's voice can sound quite boring after 15 minutes.

dear fellow listees, oh, i remember brit pop, circa 1995....it was particularly exciting for a 17 year old american girl who wanted so much to escape from the suburbs. london seemed like such a romantic place. every week i went to this record store that specialized in import singles; the nme was my bible. it was so exciting that this record store received their singles the same day that you all in england could buy yours. so i bought everything!!!!! it was great to be into something that hadn't yet caught on in the states cos bands would come play small shit clubs for 3 or 4 dollars. one weekend was especially wonderful...friday i saw menswe@r open for the charlatans, then rushed over to some other shit club to see gene play to 100 people...then the next night i went to see blur. now, i own too many crap singles, too many adidas trainers and too many track jackets. much love, uyenxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Return of the Lovin Spoonful baiter!
by Jonathan Wren 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

Warning all Lovin' Spoonful fans, I am back on a permanent basis! Anyways, a few things have happened since I've been away and I've got a couple of questions, too. Whilst walking through the 60s concrete hell of Dundee's Overgate Centre the other week I saw a guy walking through carrying, what I think was a guitar case with Snow Patrol written on it. This was a somewhat surreal experience as I'd just been looking at their single in Virgin. Do they come from Dundee? Also, since I was last here I got my hands and fell in love with the Dog On Wheels E.P. How on earth does Stuart Murdoch make the line `7 to 8 years old, well that's pretty small' sound like the saddest thing on earth?! And The State I Am In is the best song I have ever heard. Ever. It has a beautiful melody, stunning lyrics and is sung by a cracked angel. God, that song got me through some pretty miserable times recently; I used to just sing the opening lines to myself over and over again. Also, Tigermilk. DON'T HIT ME! What is the protocol for swapping stuff etc. in order to get a taped copy of aforementioned album? I thought I could wait until whatever time they choose to re-release it, but each day, that empty gap in my record collection is gnawing away at my soul. All the best, Jon...back for good. -- ***************************************** The unofficial Leyton Orient Mailing List For info on joining mail me at jwg.wren(a)dial.pipex.com or Chris Uwins at web-orient(a)clara.net ***************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Happy days! > I was watching bbc prime the other day and I saw a show >called Britpop now- remember? it was in the blome of britpop and had: >Blur(in school uniforms singing country house), Echobelly, Sleeper(oh >they still exist), Elastica,Menswear and Supergrass,,, it took me >back,,, some bands did come out of that area ok, and are still live >and kicking and I dont mean to trash any of them. Aaaaah! I know EXACTLY what you're talking about,oh I must've watched that so many times offa MusiquePlus! When Pulp peform at the end i had every little move Jarvis did memorized (he was so funny when he tried to jump in the air!) Especially when he did that finger twirly thing....geez,he has the long finger! And when Marion came on we all almost fainted from excitement of Jaime Harding and his passionate ways....(same with the 'Sleep' video...purple satin bed with Jaime...oh my it's getting hot in here....) If it hadn't been for BritPop I would probably never be listening to Belle & Sebastian....when I was 10 the only two groups I listened to were INXS and U2... I liked Oasis ok (I still think Cast No Shadow is a lovely song!)..and I bought this magazine call 'Q' for the very first time with somebody I'd never heard of before named Jarvis Cocker....then suddenly,Brit-Mad I went..I bought Cast,Sleeper,Supergrass,Blur,Pulp,Babylon Zoo,Spacehog...I don't listen to all those bands anymore,but I am still Brit,Eire and Scot Mad!It was destined for me...to buy that Q... I remember listening to Great Escape,Pablo Honey and Different Class so much the tape wore out....one particular day I remember,it was a beautiful spring day fresh from the cold winter,and the lake was sparkling and me and my friend took a portable cassette player outside and lied in the still damp ground with the sun warming us,writing letters to Damon Albarn and Jarvis Cocker.... Ahhh Menswe@r...I remember the day my friend got that album and I got Pulp s His 'n Hers..I was so upset at the time,cos i felt like I got the crap album...my opinions now are quite different..I never really liked the members of Menswe@r (too full of themselves!) That Chris was sweet though...but Johnny Dean...he needs a smack..I wanted to beat him up..You know Menswe@r were actually in Seventeen magazine...pages of them in stylish clothes..they were more of a fashion band weren't they? Well anyways,then I discovered Suede and everything seemed to change.. my REAL shame: I fancied Gavin Rossdale. Yes..that..that Potato Man! I kissed the screen and fell to my knees when he came on this one show and played!I bought that 'sexy' Rolling Stone magazine with him on it,where he's biting his finger?...ewwww...I learned quickly though,and used ot torment my friend (who still liked him) by watching that one Jimminy Cricket video of him in slo-mo...he really do look like Jimminy Cricket...I still have the magazine cover on my wall though...you know how some ppl they get a tattoo,and they don't like it,or it got messed up and they could get it fixed but they choose not to? They choose to keep it? The same reason i keep that potato man on my wall (and also cos now i can just laugh at it!) ohmygoodnes,Grease is coming back to the theatres! (...those summmmer niiiihiiights...) sweet cakes and milkshakes, Genevieve boys will be boys! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: another reason to say 'tah' to mark r
by tuffen＠opgc.univ-bpclermont.fr 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

the guy introduced me to television (the band!) and captain beefheart, both of which turned up on 'out on blue six' a few years back. no, he didn't introduce me to radio. oh, and the flaming groovies (always was a great name forra band. I played those three because they all sound like captain beefheart which in the case of the second one is hardly surprising because it WAS captain beefheart. and if you can't sound like yerself, whocan you sound like? 'i sound like myself and i like myself sound' - what a philosopher i am eh kids) oh shit this is serious, i actually know some of his segways off by heart! from 1993! hugh ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Nostalgia ain't what it used to be
by Nicole Elger 18 Mar '98

18 Mar '98

(No B&S Content) On Wed, 18 Mar 1998 the tall guy who hadn't posted much for ages returned and wrote: >On a completely different (and almost entirely irrelevant) note, has >anyone out there seen Acetone live? They're described in this month's >Select as an "American Belle and Sebastian", and they're supporting >Spiritualised here on Saturday; is it worth turning up early for them? Hmmm, I can't say I see any similarities between the two whatsoever, although no doubt some reviewer out there has also mentioned VU in terms of Acetone because they do in reference to 80% of the music in my collection. Acetone sound a bit country, sort of slow and sad and pretty. They're one of those bands that I fully expected to grab me and drag me gloriously under, but when I listened to them not much happened. It's like how some people can be just perfect for you in a textbook way, except for the fact that you're not at all in love with them. So anyway, I think Acetone is a talented band, and I did mildly enjoy their last s/t release, but then forgot I had it until I read your post. I haven't seen them live, and I don't know you well enough to say what you'd think of them, but just don't go early based on that B & S mention. - Nicole . . . . n i c o l i n a @ d r i z z l e . c o m . . . . i've concluded once again that i'm too fickle for a signature file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
