Sinister: dolly

Hi. Dolly parton does a song called "Jolene" that is unbelievable. And Talking Heads have a talking-song on Remain in Light, I forget what it's called. My favorite talking-song, though, is Suicidal Tendencies, "Institutionalized." Does that count? --Ari ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: RE: Some things about Duets, Truth and Inspiration
by John Warrander 02 Feb '98

02 Feb '98

Oops nothing original to say and no B&S content either. Gee what a rotter! Oh well, I'm just going to hang off some of the comments made earlier. Genevieve wrote: > Oh..... Lets get married and have rose petals thrown at us! Genevieve have you any idea how happy Tag will be when he reads this? I know he wanted a bit more excitement but the poor lad may just go weak at the knees and fall over and hurt himself. Actually, I'm already married to him so you can just leave off lady. "Jealous MUCH?" she also added later: > it sounds like we put bombs (forour causes) in all these evil places And hey these bombs won't go BANG they'll go P!O!P! An angry Sarah wrote (Am I talking liberties describing you as angry?): > I'll have you know that after we had the little talk about > names I ALSO got really upset and pissed of, realising that everything > I care about, could just be all an invented lie, untruth, and that again > its something that as much as I like, i'd never be a part off. Perhaps Does it really matter what the TRUTH is anyway? It suits me to believe that Lee Hazlewood lives in a remote log cabin somewhere in Northern Sweden, waited on hand and foot by a bevvy of Scandinavian beauties. Every time I put on a Lee record and listen to that voice, this is the absolute truth of the matter and no intrusion of pedantic fact will sway me from that opinion. As far as pop music is concerned, it's YOUR world and the truth can be whatever YOU want it to be. The Duke had this to say: > there will come a day when people will go into chat rooms and tell > someone like me that belle and sebastian were named after a kids tv > cartoon, and i don't know what i'm talking about because this person > will have all the LPs filed neatly in order, will have all the imports > and his treasured copy of Tigermilk (£1000 quid in the auction, what's > it to you, mate?) safely on display. He'll think he knows it all > because he read it in the music press and a nice journalist told him so. I'm afraid the newer members on this list (myself included) might not get the significance of that "someone like me" bit. It kind of scares me though. Is it relevant that you talk about a "he" here? I used to go into chat rooms and claim I lived in Morrissey's childhood dwelling on the King's Road in Manchester. I was a liar but the kids I talked to thought it was exciting so maybe I was performing a service. I did meet his English teacher Mr Pink once though. He took us into his house and gave us cake. He stood up against the Tories and spoke out against their health cuts. I think it got into The Sun and he was duly sacked from the hospital he worked in. Such a nice man too. I have no idea who wrote this: > My vote goes to "Tippy Toes" and "Bonnie and Clyde" respectively. Gosh the overall taste and decorum on this list is exemplary. Out of all those wonderful bands that were listed in a mail the other day how did the conversation manage to end up on "Even As We Speak"??? I don't care who wrote anything anymore: > Early examples of speak-a-pop "Speak-a-pop". How cool is that? Not cool enough I'm afraid. These chatty little numbers just don't turn me on. I hate "The Gift" (and the whole of "White Light White Heat" for that matter) and I claim my right as a pop kid to slag it to death if the notion takes me. Speaking of pop kids. Now we're all versed with the ins and outs of Northern Soul - thanks B&S list info service - I think we should be told. Just what is a "cutie"? McTaggart the mouth had this to say: > >Has a Northern Soul night started at the Star & Garter ? Is it still on > >and is it any good ? Just noticed it on a poster somewhere the other day > >and it got me thinking..... > > I don't know - tell me if you find out. That wasn't a question that was inspirational, mate. After all your bleating if you haven't started a Northern Soul club by July there'll be trouble to pay! And on a Nancy & Lee note: Has anybody got or heard the "Jacques and his Jacquettes" record by Jacques Dutronc and Francoise Hardy? I'm convinced it MUST be the Nancy and Lee of the French speaking world. Anyway... > Big favourites are 'Some velvet morning' and 'Je t'aime'. The Primitives did a cracking version of "Some Velvet Morning" live in a cave somewhere in South London once (well a few times I suspect) and it made it even more criminal when they split and I never got to see them do it again. Well it makes me sad. This is Australia and the next B&S video spotted on Rage will be duly noted and reported here. You can rely on that.

Sinister: Northy weaves the thread in a new direction.....
by northy 01 Feb '98

01 Feb '98

When I was unpopular on this list I asked everyone what film they though would suit a Belle and Sebastian song soundtrack. Thanks to some heavy promotional work from Tag I am now fairly famous on the list so I will ask it again. Oh, actually it is a pretty shite question. Don't worry people! Anyway, hmm.....tough question my friend. To be perfectly honest I can not imagine anyone covering a Belle and Sebastian song with any degree of success. I think my answer gives us all a happy reminder that Belle and Sebastian are just a fantastically brilliant band. Peace People Northy > Who in the world would you like to cover a B&S song ?

Sinister: i'm happy sad
by uclykan＠ucl.ac.uk 01 Feb '98

01 Feb '98

Hello sinisters, I'm drowning in all this sudden beauty. It makes me want to listen to Nine Inch Nails (pretty hate machine was ahead of its time, erm). So this is how it feels to be alone, without a quote hanging above your wise words. I'd better get one. >Richard wrote: >Most of his stuff is quite dark >and moody dealing with pain and anger. We however are fluffy little >bunnies. Of course we are, jumping around in the fields brandishing our bags full of sweets and blowing kisses in the wind. Some consider B&S to be 'light' music, I think they are strong, POWERful. There are people who moan (in a wonderful, self-indulgent way, mind you) about things bygone, but this is different. Aidan's corner:I don't want a girlfriend, I just want someone to fuck (well put, but it's essentially the same) A bit late here:Arab strap are worth a few moments of your life. Prolapse as well. (Sorry, if we can't write in such a spellbinding way, we can talk about bands) Kelly (seven ty eight years old) Why is everyone in the computer room biting their nails in such a spectacular way? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: A Pop! voice speaks if anyone gives a monkeys...
by Sarah 01 Feb '98

01 Feb '98

Ok, the duke wrote a load of stuff slagging off the person who said he was talking crap cos the Manics named themselves after...bla bla bla... Yes Ok that would be me ages ago. And I didn't *mean* the Duke was literally being shite, it was just cos I felt incredulous, becaue everything else I had read had said something to the contrary. Funnily enough wjen it comes to a lot of bands, I DO believe what I read in the music press because WHO ELSE AM I TO BELIEVE? They are the only other people who let me know these things. Would it be preferred that I didn't even bother to do THAT to try and find out about a band I LOVE! Basically if I was taken wrong, its because, like why should i suddenyl turn on its head everything that I have seen everywhere else you know??? The person you described there is nothing at all like me and in fact what I hate, someone who has records but never cares or acts upon them. Yeah, so I have alienated myself from the fucking majority of people I know for this thing of Pop? Just *because?* Yeah, I write a fanzine, wackily enough because I CARE? So I don't know every perfect fact about every band about, sue me. I love what I find worthy to be lovd, no doubt now I am probably missing out on something fantastic. As is life. What I love, barely anyone seems to actually care about, and people who then go and imply that I am nothing just get on my nerves. Yes well we seem to be in a mood to let frustrations out, you know I can't scream out loud in peoples faces when I want to so perhaps ooh I don't know. Is this the first really pissed off mail I've sent? Quite sad aint it. And Duke I'll have you know that after we had the little talk about names I ALSO got really upset and pissed of, realising that everything I care about, could just be all an invented lie, untruth, and that again its something that as much as I like, i'd never be a part off. Perhaps we should avoid each other on chat :o) I'm not trying to personally slag the Duke, or any of you lot off here, you've got to get that but...oohhh, the people who care strongly perhaps will understand. Some won't be arsed. Heehee. I also just got an email from someone saying I was a bit manic and perhaps should relax. whoops! And I had a really good post planned too, till I read the last digest, about B&S videos. I was listening to Tigermilk and suddenly I had these marvellous ideas for videos just springing into my head, but if I can be arsed I'll leave them till a later date. Bye bye, I expect nobody actually arsed to read this, sorry Honey for being a moody git, but life consists of moods, ups and downs. On a nicer note, I liked Northys Spice Girls/Radiohead thingy, and am forwarding it to others. I'M GOING NOW BYE!!!!!!! (but will I be allowed back?) Yours faithfully, the beautiful only slightly homicidal Sarah BLOKE :"How about we....skip desert tonight...." BIRD :"Why! What else...do you have in mind!" BLOKE :"Nothing. Its just that you're a bit fat already innit?" SHE LEAVES BLOKE :"Check please." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
