RE: Sinister: Gatorade?
by Andy Fox 15 Feb '98

15 Feb '98

Gatorade is named as it is because it was developed by scientists at the University Of Florida to help keep their athletes hydrated during practices and games. The University of Florida's moniker is "Gators" hence "Gatorade"...... > >> Believe it or not, but Gatorade isn't an international thing either. Gatorade is a sports beverage that is supposed to incresase your athletic performance with carbohydrates and electrolytes and other things. Parents also sometimes give it to their sick children. I don't know why it's called Gatorade, but workmate Kimmy just suggested the following: Gatorade is meant to rehydrate the body, keeping it from getting (internally, presumably) dry like an alligator. Any other theories? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: B&S covering Primal Scream
by Matthew Neimark 14 Feb '98

14 Feb '98

We've been off this subject for a long time, but after the BMX bandits came to Boston and Douglas, the singer kept talking about local Scottish heroes and legends like Bobbie Gillespie and Stephen Pastel (especially Gillespie though), I thought how much I'd love to see Belle and Sebastian cover a Primal Scream song. My choice is "Bewitched and Bewildered", an obscure b side around the time of Sonic Flower Groove (I think its on the Imperial 12"). I think it would be a perfect cover as I'm sure Stuart could do a beautiful job with it (as it is a heartbreakingly beautiful song). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: B&S CONTENT!!!! a tad.....
by Sarah 14 Feb '98

14 Feb '98

Oh I really wish B&S would do something so I could justdify posting something without really mentioning them.....OK, um, tought luck ladies, Richard Colburn is MINE!!! (um, that could have been sarcasm. I dunno 'cos I've never seen him.) I was going to marry Stuey M, but he didn't send me a valantines card the cold earted bastard so....aah shut up Sarah. Keith! Obviously Airwolf is a zillion times better than that other crap...ble thunder indeed. Airwolf rules. I actually sent HoneyPaul a homemade card, but I will wish him happy birthday on the list too! So, um happy birthday, valentines day (even though I only got half a card which was done in front of me with biro and torn in half to share with the other Sara...) and happy easter too. Well, Woolies are selling Easter eggs. Along with the *fantastic* Barbie Lollies that you get with free stcikers. Gatorade......I think we shuld start a topic about MOUNTAIN DEW. The yellow stuff that could very possibly be over-caffienated urine??? OR how about we don't as that is the kind of thing me nd my friends would start a heated about at it would be a long running joke which would amuse us and exclude outsiders...... As fr the Lovin Spoonfull, again, have no idea what they sound like. For a moment I thought they did 'youve lost that loving feeling',but then I woke up a tad and thoght 'oh no thats the Righteous Brothers'.....so I will just say that......oooh. i don't know. But Chumba=46ucking-wamba.....or as my friend calls them Chuwum-baa-baa, ooh they irritate me. But looking at them I am wondering if they will actully achive anything now with a huge audience of trendy dudes, spouting off their oh-so-anarchic (sorry i can't help my sarcasm) voices. I am biased against them I'll tell you that for nowt. But then again, if tehy let a lot more people know about the injustices in society are they serving a better purpose? Or are they just annoying twats? Any opinions anyone? And I would also like to tell you all how Catch make me laugh and giggle. When i firts saw them on TOTP I wet myself and the other day I heard them in TopShop. Heeheee! brains, beauty, teenpop guituarzz, man, ace. AND, last night Spiritualized were on TOTP. I fon't like the way the songs been edited to conform to a more verse-chorous-verse structure, thats not how Spiritualzed work. Their songs need space to breathe and peak. They were still great, but I got more of a 'buzz' watching Aqua tehn I had had out of any 'serious real' groups for ages. OH! I DO have a serious B&S question! In just a moder rock song is he singing "macanaramas clever as mark twain" OR "and I'm not as clever as mark Twain" 'cos the last lyric makes more sense and thats always what I thought it was untill someone wrote the macnarama lyric and now I dunno. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!! SarahBelle who must make more sense someday. "Sounds off the wall I know, but consider this. If you take the complete musical output of a generation, the whole damn lot, then don't you have something? A kind of soul perhaps. The soul of a generation. I mean, it's in there in the music. We all know it's in the music, somewhere, right. Anybody who's ever really listened knows it's there. Somewhere." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Spoonful of Cack
by PJMiller 14 Feb '98

14 Feb '98

Righteous indignation the likes of which we haven't been able to enjoy since the snakey fella went off to hand in his coursework! I think the Lovin' Spoonful are right up there with the Monkees. They are named after you-know-what like you-know-who. In "Do You Believe in Magic?" they mention something called "jug band music", an image that haunts my dreams and disturbs my every waking hour. "...his melody lines curled up and purred like so many drowsy cats." I don't think they're as good as all that, but are probably worth investigating, especially seeing as you can buy dirt cheap CDs all over the place. "Summer in the City" was covered recently by Joe Cocker in a pleasant lilting reggae style. There is also a version by my hero, Isaac Hayes. I remember two good songs, "Didn't Want to Have to Do It" and "Darling Be Home Soon". I haven't got them anymore, and I'm not particularly bothered. But they are good. Nik Cohn says they are better than the Byrds, but he's talking out of his arse. I must say I am enjoying this new Top Trumps craze. I'm not very familiar with those helicopters, but I'm more than willing to join in any other discussions. My favourite helicopters were those great big Russian troop transporters. As I recall they weren't very agile, but that double set of rotor blades made up for it. I am now going to lie down in a darkened room and think about jug band music. He should have changed the lyrics round - "it's like trying to tell a stranger about jug band music". Popology Pete, the voice of reason. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Oh, I've still not heard his band, but I bet they're teeny sugary pop, but still ace, a bit like Betty Boo. Susannah xx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
