Sinister: Arab Strap (yes, i've just heard it's an old topic)
by Michael Ryley 08 Mar '98

08 Mar '98

Dear kids, I'm listening to the Arab Strap "Girls of Summer E.P." and it's ace, well worth the inflated price i had to pay for it (being in Australia and all...grrr). My question is, are there any links between B&S and AS...you've probably all been through this already but please humour me...is it just me or does "A Century of Elvis" sound not a little bit like an upbeat Arab Strap? love, the ever-slow MichaelXXXXXXXXX ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: insecurity
by Michael Ryley 08 Mar '98

08 Mar '98

This ongoing debate re: bandmembers' sexuality is kind of interesting, but i wonder why sensitivity and being queer are so often linked...certainly, the men at my local gay pub are usually far from sensitive...we all need our privacy, but at the same time, i know many young kids who really care about these issues, because it's all about finding someone with whom to identify, so they can feel less alone...surely i can't be the only person to whom music has provided this service...thankyou for your time, pls. excuse my prattling on.... love michael, alias YUM-YUM HAGGERTY (erm, no, i dom't think so). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: flamer
by bradford 08 Mar '98

hey. all this talk about gayness reminded me of something. didn't a while back i read an excerpt of an interview with isobel where she says that stuart puts himself in the role of a woman and writes songs about himself. if that's the case, then seeing other people wouldn't be this grand gay anthem that people wish it was. but then again, who cares? -brad ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: Keith: Is he or isn't he?
by MWaggner 07 Mar '98

Oh Gosh! I was only sharing a little story -- it was meant as a commentary on the oft- recurring *discussion* about Stuart's orientation, not on his personal life itself. The things people create are certainly colored by their personal lives -- their various orientations of all sorts, their "souls" and the things that have happened to them to form who they are. But, one doesn't have to "own" the artist's soul or know the minute details of his/her life to love the thing they created. If it simply speaks to something in you, you don't have to pick it to pieces... I could go on and on, explaining what I mean, but it boils down to: I really don't give a "toss" who or what Stuart M. or anyone else in the band may or may not be sleeping with. I just really love the music and am very glad that sometimes people can create something that can touch me -- on a level that is very personal to me. Sorry if I offended anyone. Next time, I'll just keep it to myself. -- michele ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: how many members of B&S does it take to change a lightbulb?

And he's not the only one, there seems to be a lot of it about, maybe its the change in weather but its certainly on the rise. Well, I reckon the band can handle a few loose jibes, keeps them on their toes, but the ' is-stuart-gay' thing HAS been going on a while admittedly. So, one last time for all the new listees out there, STUART IS NOT GAY !! (oh, go on then, he is). To date no-one has actually sent me any decent problems for my slot, so, you guessed it, I'll just have to make them up. So watch out for yourselves kids, and thats about all for a Saturday afternoon. Susannah. P.S . Stuart D : I've got the photo if you've got the scanner. P.P.S. Seven, but its the wrong type of bulb, with the wrong wattage and in the wrong socket. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Well I don't know about the rest of you non-UK listees, but this whole picnic thing makes me slightly miserable at being stuck in crazy Yankland, as usual.... Wouldn't it be nice to also organize a similar event Stateside --particularly the NorCal region!! --- to coincide with the next B&S release sometime this summer? ...under the wild assumption that she's not the only fan in Norcal "Black Beauty Main" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
