In a message dated 2/20/98 9:41:33AM, you write: << Has anyone in the US heard of a band called 'The 3'o clock'? Apparently, they were a huge influence on the fledgling Roses... >> Has anyone on the list heard of an album called Primal Scream? Apparently it was a huge influence on the not-so-fledgling Stone Roses. Arf. By the way, I'm in NYC in late march/early April - can anyone tell me where I should go and/or what I should do that's, uh, 'cool'? Feedback would be appreciated.

Sinister: biscuits are for puppies

>>conclusive proof, if proof be needed, that B&S fans are not sniffly, cardie-wearing, mopers but are in fact mid 70's folkie throwbacks who follow the crowd & like a bit of lo-fi punky business now & then. SPOT ON.... hehe...Did we ever come to a conclusion as to what the typical B&S fan looks like? Someone asked a question to that effect ages ago. Witty opinions welcome. Did anybody else watch that Motown series on ABC recently? fascinating! I'm off to buy all the pre-1971 releases on my lunch. Today is Ian Brown's birthday, and Kurt Cobain's too. I wonder when Belle and Sebastian's birthdays are. I peg Stuey M as a pisces or virgo, possibly libran. How old are they all anyway? Someone mentioned Isobel having school exams to do, and here I am thinking they're all 30 ish... *sigh* feeling low, like in that All Saints song. "Play me a song to set me free..." Thanks to you who sent the Beautiful South game, top notch fun! Like Ad libs, anybody remember that game? sorry everybody, I'll be gone now! lurrrve moi (still not quite clear on this milky biscuit business...) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: stuff & nonsense - no really
by Paul Dean 20 Feb '98

Whilst perusing a virtual record shop - www.cdnow.com - yesterday, i was looking at the (hideously overpriced) B&S CD's when it suggested i 'click here' for related B&S music.... are you ready for this. Apparently I should be buying the new LP's by Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Sarah McClachlan, The Verve, Radiohead, & Sleater-Kinney. So there you are conclusive proof, if proof be needed, that B&S fans are not sniffly, cardie-wearing, mopers but are in fact mid 70's folkie throwbacks who follow the crowd & like a bit of lo-fi punky business now & then. SPOT ON.... Michael York was Manimal & it was huge pants, make no mistake The Ian Brown album is ummm.. i'm going to have to say OK. It's 100 times the seahorses (not difficult) & full of good ideas. It just seems to sacrifice tunes for trying too hard to be interesting. I guess i was just hoping for a new 'Standing Here' to get me through the millennium.... The Add N to X LP is wonderful - if you're still thinking of buying the Air LP. Don't! buy this instead..... The girls PE teacher at our school was called Miss Mountain until she got married & became Mrs Hill. I belm ye not! Has anyone in the US heard of a band called 'The 3'o clock'? Apparently, they were a huge influence on the fledgling Roses... Um. I think i'd better go now. sorry... Paulus the wood-gnome ....flying back to the US next week on Virgin....yipeee ;-] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: poor sebastian's gone too far again crashed his car in the rain....
by Yaz 20 Feb '98

the very confusingly named John, CT Johnston said: >I love you coz your lovely John Awww, what a nice man..... we love you too. Tag said: >It's Friday morning, the sun is shining ..... mate, you've been listening to far too much of that dimpled young finley Quaye . Ronan asked: >Has anyone heard the new single by Setanta band Catchers? They played a great Radcliffe Session about 3 years ago, promised a new album soon, and promptly disappeared off the face of the earth. Thanx sooo much for bringing this band up, i wanted to, but eventually decided against it for fear that big daddy Paul might turn mean at my finely-tuned skill for having bugger all b+s relevance. But now i can say THEY ARE AMAZING. GO OUT AND BUY THEIR ALBUM. AND THEIR SINGLES. BUT KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THE SINGER. his name's Dale, he's just had a hair-cut and he belongs to my friend.......she wishes. in fact, they all have lovely irish accents and alice, the keyboardist and founder member is also really sweet. actually they are all adorable. i really think that they are just the sort of band that a lot of belle and sebastian people will like. Dale's songs are so gooood, and just keep getting better every time i see them. He used write poetry, literally, in format, style and vocab, but now they are getting a bit rockier. They've been around for a while now, i know they started when dale was doing his a levels, which he told me he dropped three months before his exams for the music. errm he's around 26 now i think , so that's... errm, 8 years, i might be wrong though, they always tell me and i always forget. they've got a beautiful abum out called MUTE and you can get that and the new single, Call Her Name from setanta : http://www.setantarecords.com i know they headlined the Garage on a Tuesday night a couple of weeks a go - apparently they are gonna be playing a lot of gigs around soon, so watch out.

After all, she must have asked for a transfer for a good reason. I'm no mind reader, but I wouldn't be surprised if she objected to playing in a band with a dollar sign in their name. Whatever, I hardly think Sarah will blow her top if she does read Rod's message, and Rod would certainly be in need of psychiatric help if he changed his opinions just to please her, or anyone else who might be reading. Especially when the opinion in question was so innocuous. What did he say? "slightly dull"? Personally I've never heard the band in question, but I'm not going to rush out and listen to them and then say they're really good just because Sarah Martin lays down a bit of extra Stylophone on side two. > >> Oh well ... I should follow the Duke Of Harringay's example and unsubscribe >> ... too many "Dedicated followers of fashion" and starstrucked teenagers out >> there. > That's your decision, but I think it is a bit ironic coming in the same sentence as a reference to "starstrucked teenagers". I dread to think how many messages I've read on this list over the years, but I'm yet to encounter anything from a "starstrucked teenager" or a "Dedicated follower of fashion", not that I have anything against those groups of people. I'm quite starstrucked, but I'm not a teenager. I follow the herd quite a lot, I've seen "Titanic" and I own a copy of "Urban Hymns". I buy my clothes in Marks and Spencer. I am starstrucked enough to stand around for two hours in the hope of catching a glimpse of Keanu Reeves. I watch the television programmes that get the biggest audiences (they are football matches) and was really really starstrucked when I saw the legendary Barcelona "dream team" at close quarters. Hristo Stoichkov is my favourite. >Anyone fancy a Hobnob? Yes, I'd like a Hobnob, thank you Rod. Did you know that they were the most successful product launch in the history of United Biscuits? They used to own Pizzaland and Wimpy, you know, but they sold them as part of a rationalisation process.
