Sinister: Where's my 3 day week
by Keith Watson 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

>If the new stuff comes out in June then why not have a launch picnic?? >It would be an unusual way to promote a record and give a chance for >wizened hacks to spend time with the band and the fans which would be >good for them if not us. > >Some would doubtless write about what a joy it was to meet so many >disparate individuals brought together by the power of the music. Others >would write about what a hopeless bunch of indie-schmindie >ne'er-do-wells we all were. But some people will never get it... That sounds like a cracking idea John, schedule the picnic with the release of the new single. Indeed we could sail on down the Thames and shoot the queen whilst we're at it too, that'd be quite a launch... seriously though, it seems like an appropriate time for it to me, given that it'll be the summer and stuff. Having said that, I'll be at the picnics whatever, single release dates are notoriously changeable and we may need to plan the picnic a bit more in advance.

Sinister: One that's been discussed before
by Reid Dossinger 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

> Some men are just sensitive. Thank you, Matthew! Someone FINALLY said it! Why is it that every male pop star that shows an ounce of sensitivity and doesn't play on the most distorted guitar possible is automatically assumed (by the most conservative homophobe AS WELL AS the most out-of-the-closet flamer) to be gay?! Talk about enabling stereotypes! I hope Mr. Murdoch is straight, 'cause sissy heteros who like to dance and don't like to fight need heroes, too. ~Sissy Reid, who one day will get around to starting a discussion about the amazing number of times "girls deciding to date girls" theme comes up in Stuart M.'s lyrics. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: The REAL "Little Prince"
by Henry 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

Firstly, hello everyone, I'm new to the list. Glancing through the archive I saw talk of "the little prince" which reminded me of the completely wonderful book of the same name. All B+S fans will love it and since its so short it takes only an hour or so to read. Also, the little prince looks just like the boy on the b+s T-shirts. He lives on a planet thats very small (about the size of a house) and has three volcanoes which he cleans out regularly (even the extinct one because "one can never be sure") and cooks his breakfast on. When he visits Earth he makes friends with a FOX! And , OH I want to tell you all about it but I won't - read the book, its delightful and charming. I think its by a frenchman called Antoine de Saint Expuory or something, and Peter Ustinov did a very good story tape of it which I used to listen to as a kid. anyone else like Zappa? **To see the summer sky is poetry though never in a book it lie true poems flee ** Emily dickinson. bye bye ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: 80's Quiz

Stuart Gardiner wrote..... <<These are what we've come up with so far between us, including a few new ones... Not sure about a few of them... 28 is really annoying me! >> I'm ashamed to say I know this one, look i'm new here don't be too hard on me. <<28) Woah, makes me want to dance, woah, it's a new romance... >> ...... "Woah, I look into your eyes, woah, best years of our lives". It is indeed, "Best Years of Our Lives" by Modern Romance. Sorry. It was played at every school disco I went to in the early eighties, that and Come on Eileen. Oh and the Birdie Song as well. <<45) Boys, now the times are changing the going could get rough... >> I'll redeam myself though and say that this is "Quiet Life" by Japan. A damn fine song which remains a favourite of mine to this day. Before all you old gits out there take the piss, it's the only Japan song I like. Personally no13 in driving me mad, I just now it's gonna be something i've got in my collection. I keep thing Talk Talk, the quote sounds like one of their lyrics. It'll turn out to be Queen though knowing my luck, just to embarass me further. Bye for now i'm off to be punished for knowing the answer to No 28 Gary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

its is very strange to see the previous days postings about charlie and the chocolate factory..especially after sitting home sick on friday or saturday..i cant remember which and watching the film yet again..plus on 'dawson's creek' (yes i know..a teenybopper soap opera delight) one of the main characters was made fun of as a child and was called oompa loompa.. has anyone heard the smoking popes cover or 'pure imagination' its a lovely song..perhaps the best bit on seeing them in concert when they opened for mozzer. roberta **oh you look so tired mouth slack and wide ill-housed and ill-advised your face is as mean as your life has been crash into my arms i want you****** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

I think. The word "castanet" appears in my 106 page die casting instruction maual. According to the European Union it means "damselfish". They must think I was born yesterday. "The Day Before You Came" by Abba is one of the best songs ever, and not at all cheesy. Every now and then I try to remember to have a bit of a think, and once I thought about how exactly that song works. It's very sad, but it's all kind of unarticulated. Perhaps that's it. Anyway, it's a beautiful song beautifully sung. It sounds like someone about to completely lose their grip and go round the twist. That last sentence may well have been influenced by my reading about Pink Floyd. Huw, it sounds to me as if the music you are looking for is either Pink Floyd's timeless masterpiece "Dark Side of the Moon" or "Bucket T" by The Who, one of the extra tracks on "A Quick One". It certainly set me off daydreaming a few minutes ago. It would make an excellent theme tune for the forthcoming Bobby Chariot television special. Melon Mainprize Family history (NB&SC) (Melon was a canary. He was called Lemon until we realised he wasn't going to go yellow. Mainprize means either "man prised from the sea" (my Aunty Iris's daft theory) or "ransom" (my own sensible, carefully documented theory). Everyone believes Aunty Iris. It's a nice name though, nicer than my own, Chariot). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
