Sinister: Tour of US in late spring
by Andrew Hung Nguyen 26 Jan '98

26 Jan '98

I read in a the Orange County(near LA) newspaper that B&S are planning to play a couple of shows in late spring to celebrate being signed to Matador. Wow I hope it is true.

Sinister: don't vote, cause trouble
by Cairns 26 Jan '98

26 Jan '98

Voting is not a right, it's something you earn. Only those who earn citizenship are permitted to vote. Sorry, I was straying on the boundaries of fascism for a moment there, in an attempt at satire. Has anybody else heard that Sarah Brightman 'Starship Troopers' record? I bet Keith has. Now that we've all gone out and bought Air's entire back catalogue, can I heartily recommend the Ben Lee album? S'called 'Something To Remember Me By' and is out on Grand Royal. He used to be in Noise Addict, but this is mostly acoustic, and sounds damn peachy, like your first Lemonheads album, or Nick Drake played by the guy out of 'Boy Meets World'. Money Mark makes an appearance, as do the Blooze Explosion, Mike Diamond, and, I think, one of the ladies from Sleater Kinney. There's your B&S connection if you need one. I'm sure Stuart Murdoch is friends with them. For those who haven't got 'Moon Safari', take extra dollar with you and buy 'All Saints' as well, conveniently next to it in Our Price. The second best walkman tape ever. I'll fight anyone who doesn't adore the resurrection job they do on 'Under the Bridge'. How many days has the queen mum got left? Let's start a sweepstake.

Sinister: shakin your groove thang to B&S

So about a month ago (it was sometime before Christmas, that's all I remember) I VAGUELY remember seeing B&S listed on a playlist at San Fran's everso popular "britpop-indie-mod" poseur disco Popscene A bit tipsy I was, so can't for the life of me recall the song... The "new music playlist" alas, is the stuff that gets aired within the club's first hour of opening when the place is practically empty Therefore the only people who DID hear the B&S if it was played were, umm, the Dj and bartenders. BTW cheers to everybody who responded to my query on Places to Go in London!!! see you at Catatonia perchance... will be the confused american rushing in just in time to catch the last 15 mins after getting lost on the way to the venue HAHA And props to Amanda Bergman for the tigermilk YOU ARE A DOLL!!! tata Taracita Spiceworld was fab ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Silence is golden
by Johnston, John CT 26 Jan '98

26 Jan '98

Apart from dreaming about listees this weekend and an unfortunate incident whereby I was singing Pulp's Common People but actualy saying "I want to sleep with Village People" (I suddenly realised what an apocalyptic image that was and promptly stopped) I had a bit of a thought about the Great Debate over professionalism etc after the Manchester gigs. Basically it struck me that I don't really mind all the gaps between songs etc. That's the way the band works and they need to swap instruments and change positions and all that. It's just that this tends to happen in unrelenting silence. Typically they will finish one of their outstanding songs, there will be rapturous applause from the adoring fans, calculated indifference from the music journalists and then the long dark tea-time that is the GAP begins. I'm not saying Sarah should smash her Stylophone and say "Godamn Cirencester - you rock!!!", but "Donovan Lovedrake" style interludes or musings about B&S and where they get their riffs from are so few and far between. Maybe "sticks" Colbourn could come out and do an interpretive dance or perhaps some conjuring, or "bleedin gums" Cooke could show us a trick with a hula hoop. Maybe even there could be a bit of chat/general sharing of vibes. They are such charming lovely people they shouldn't just let their music do the talking. Of course my problem is that I've always been acutely embarrased by awkward silences. I was always volunteering for things I didn't want at school, just to break that buttock-clenchingly awful silence. "Who wants to be class rep....?" *PAUSE* "I will". "Who wants a detention?" *PAUSE* "Oh alright, I'll have a detention..." Anyway next time they tour, I'll be there - gaps or no gaps.

Sinister: Mumbly Cd out on Marsh Marigold
by Michael Korchia 26 Jan '98

26 Jan '98

Well, this is an ad, which I think is not irrelevant on this list! The 1st Mumbly album 'Being Ernest' is out on Marsh Marigold. We're a French indiepop band, but most songs are in English (10 in english, 4 in french, including a Serge Gainsbourg cover). There's a mix of male & female vocals. The sound and the music probably draw comparisons to Felt, the Feelies, the Field Mice. And of course: when we mixed the album, a few months ago, Aurore guitarist/ singer & myself were listening to B&S ALL THE TIME (we still are, even though I expected better than the last 3 CDep). So when the sound engineer wanted to listen to CD whose sound we love, we played him stuff by Felt, Luna, & of Course 'IYFS' by guess who. I said I just wanted the same drums sound. You can order it from me: 15 dollars, 8 pounds, 23 DM, 80 FF, etc.... postage included. Or 20 dollars, 11 pounds, 30 DM, 110FF if you order it along with Watoo Watoo Cdep 'un Peu de Moi' (my other band).

NO!!!! are we now going to have another week of arguing over the good / bad alternative nightlife in edinburgh??? i really hope not; can we have something else? YES!!! We can discuss Bert Jansch.... "An even bigger impact on Nick as a teenager was made by Bert Jansch.....Jansch's striking gypsy good looks and apparently effortless fluency on the guitar made a mark on all those who heard his records or saw him play in the folk clubs of the mid-sixties. Neil Young cited jansch as being as much of an influence on his guitar-playing as Jimi Hendrix." There, I hope that has answered a question from a week or two ago. Admittedly my own question, but there you are. John and Beverly Martin also feature quite heavily in the Nick Drake story, more as collaborators and buddies than as producers and plagiarists, so far at least. Fairport Convention too. Did anybody see Johnny Marr at the Manchester B&S concerts? Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
